Planechase is getting an Anthology release and the Commander decks are having their yearly release, both this month.
The latest block set introduced a new mechanic that substantially expands the design space and the set just before that, Conspiracy: Take the Crown is a mix of drafting complexity and a substantial amount of multiplayer complexity.
All I hear is that Magic introduced a stack system in 1999 and apparently that dumbed it down to unplayability.
The past two releases and the next two this month are huge recent evidence to the contrary. It's the same with getting rid of Mana Burn, removing it reduce complexity and made some archetypes useless. But the mental space it previously occupied was filled with the opportunity to expand there design space and make it a more varied game.
A new Archenemy set is due next year too. So with just the releases over a year you'd be able to play Archenemy Planechase Conspiracy (or at least the draft cards, god knows how to combine those with EDH though, probably just cube?) EDH. Anyone who'd think that shirks complexity is wrong.
