Now, just to throw some ideas out there, just because they may not rotate legal cards for Worlds doesn't mean they won't have a surprise in store for all of us who are going. I'd be intrigued to see a little announcement once I get there that said:
"Congratulations, champion player! Now that you've made it to the World Championship, get ready to test your skills against the best on the planet! On day one, you'll be competing in a majorly modified tournament! Then, if you have what it takes to make it to the Sunday finals, be ready to duke it out with the competition, dual style, in our first sanctioned 2-on-2 tournament play to determine the 2004 World Champion!"
I think quite a few people forget that there's an entire format there that has, of yet, not been utilized in any major tournaments....also, based upon what I read about Origins, there aren't any scheduled 2-vs.-2 tournaments there. Without changing the legal cards, or making part of the World Championship a draft with the new set (akin to a prerelease), shifting part of it to 2-vs.-2 seems like a clever way to force experienced players to quickly adapt and think on the fly.
/commence speculation
