5:55 I talk about TPC/TPCi needing to ban a card like I have and mentioned Dusk Stone. I meant the Duskull from CEC. (Though the Dusk Stone ban would also likely be beneficial for Expanded in the long term. Mismagius was innocent.)

Why ? Cause you can’t build a deck lmao. People who cry about banning cards are the fucking worst.

[@JustInBasil]

@@LegendMathai People who can’t understand that a format with 25 years of cards in it (Eternal) or with 14 years of cards in it (Expanded) will require some bans to make the format playable are worse. I’m perfectly capable of deck building. And I’m also able to understand game design. Bans are a necessity to keep a game healthy when unintended card interactions break the game. Without some sort of action, Expanded format games will end on turn one quite often.
