What are some cards you really liked but are now unplayable? In your opinion, which format accelerated power creep the most? (mtgzone.com)

I really used to like classic cards like Serra Angel and Shivan Dragon and I don't know exactly when they became so bad, but I couldn't even consider playing them now in most formats.

I believe Throne of Eldraine in 2019 was the set where power creep started accelerating most.

It was definitely Throne of Eldraine (Oko was a mistake!) where things just got crazy, but War of the Spark did not help by dumping like 50 other new planeswalkers into the pool and giving them statics.
