This only affects Wild League. Modern League is probably where new players should play. There would be no CP requirements there. They do need to remove Gladiator cards from ranked play though. It must be a really frustrating experience for new players to face Gladiator cards. So overpowered.

I agree completely.
New players should be encouraged to play in Modern but I don't think Gladiator cards should be completely banned from Modern ranked though. I think a more gradual approach would be better.
Modern League:
Bronze- ALL SB cards are banned
Silver- Gladiator cards are banned
Gold- Gladiator cards can be fielded vs. other accounts that have Gladiator cards
Diamond and Champs- Wide Open

P.S. Modern is a really frustrating experience. Facing unbeatable teams time after time after time and knowing that you can't even rent cards that would allow you to compete is... well, I quit and went to Wild and I'm not a new player.
