A new format: Postmodern (RtR onwards, nonrotating, fetches banned)

So, me and a couple of friends were trying to come up with a new format to play for fun amongst ourselves. We came to the conclusion that a non-rotating format would probably be better than a rotating one and that RtR would be a pretty natural place to start.

Most blocks before RtR have some pretty silly cards (Snapcaster Mage etc.) that could dominate the format. We also decided to ban the Khans fetchlands from the format to keep the manabases from getting too wild and to keep the format more diverse.

Looking at recent Standard decks that gain a lot from the format, Black Devotion, GR Ramp, MonoR/GR Aggro, UWB control/dragons, Megamorph/CoCo and Rally seem like some pretty good ones.

Thoughts on the format? What do you think would be some of the better decks of the format?
