I watched a video by 
When I commented on his post I was firmly convinced I should not try to play Modern, mainly because I tried it for a bit when the formats first launched and Wild seemed more comfortable for me.
The problem is, what if the situation changes, and I need the Modern alternative?
By not playing it, as Achim remarked, I drop 1 full league every season until my rating goes to zero and I start as a novice. And then (as Achim already experienced), I'd have to go through the bot barrage in bronze to advance, if I ever needed to play Modern.
In theory, it would be great if I had both Modern and Wild formats at my level of comfort, meaning Diamond-Champion, and as alternatives to each other.
I see several issues with accomplishing that:
Elite players can afford this duality. If one reaches the desired CL tier in about half a season in Wild, then they can easily switch to the Modern format and rank up as high as possible there. And they will have plenty of time to do it.
It's also a very good option for players who are capped by their collection power to rank up, but they can do well in both formats.
In Modern format I dropped to Silver III currently:
If there's a time to start climbing again, if I want Modern as an alternative, this is it.
But, I listed above a bunch of reasons why I believe this would be a pretty bad idea for me.
Do you have some counterarguments for my case? And how do you manage the two formats situation?
