Hello,
In Summary, Penny dreadful is a format where at the beginning of every new set release, all cards that are 0.01 tix on MTGO are legal in the format. Cards can be from any set. The format changes a lot, because as a card becomes popular, its price increases by the new set and then it is no longer legal. (Some of the prices may change during each season, so sometimes you might have to spend 0.02 - 0.04 tix on a card if it picks up.)
It's a great format for those who want to deckbuild and explore cards in magic that may not always be well known. Just because they are 0.01 doesn't always mean they are bad either. Cards like mother of runes and even survival of the fittest were in the format at some point. You would be surprise how many thousands of cards are at only 0.01 tix.
Best part is if you want to build something random , there is so little risk if it goes horribly wrong as a deck would cost you anywhere between 0.5 and maybe 1.25 tix. You can also make a legion of decks for so few tickets.
It's literally the only reason I got on MTGO.
To find Penny dreadful matches just go to Freeform and write "Penny Dreadful" in the comments.
