Huge Banned and Restricted Announcement Actually UNBANS Cards | Mtg

[@somerando1073]

Faithless Looting suffered for Hoagak's sins, just like Growth Spiral suffered for Uro's. When a hot new card obviously needs banning, but is still selling decks, they won't ban the card, they ban a scapegoat.

[@victorperezurbano9504]

No, looting was banned the same day hogaak was. They wanted to kill dredge, phoenix and hollow one in one move

[@somerando1073]

@@victorperezurbano9504 really? That's surprising, maybe they hadn't stumbled onto that strategy of a decoy ban yet.

[@brockmckelvey7327]

Seeing Splinter Twin again made me so happy. Also, I feel like they should just ban the Companion mechanic outside of Limited, like how Conspiracies do nothing outside of Conspiracy Limited

[@joelmeeks8683]

I am not sure how but I think I will have to win a game of modern with a splinter twin on something stupid like a kiora, or Koma, or unstoppable slasher, or twin flame dragon something or other or maybe a fomo.

[@joelmeeks8683]

The the opponent stares at their sideboard like do I care if I die to splinter twin? What to do, what to do, like for three solid minutes.

Hooooooly cow I need Vexing Bauble. One mana does WHAT?!

Ik it’s so good! The whole mh3 set was overshadowed by nadu

[@Arvensa]

Faithless Looting is one of my favourite Blue cards : )

[@obadijahparks]

The one ring is fine in singleton formats.

I care about pauper it’s the most affordable format!

Just print lmao

[@chrisrushtonltd]

it's also the best format. you need to work for your broken garbage there.

unbanned mox = reprint and needing to sell boxes

Mox Opal unbanned? Affinity here I come 😅😅

for $170 a pop yeeehaw

​​@@xSixthiSxdon't worry it will be reprinted next year

[@lordstov8592]

Didn't they ban some of the other cards from affinity?

[@metal--babble346]

proxy are crazy busy lately. Nobody wants to spend a gazillion dollars on their casual Commander decks.

[@oia]

Super stoked to see Faithless Looting is back in the format. Buh bye Ring! *chef’s kiss!*

[@mralloc23]

Vexing Bauble: exists. Vintage players: "Nooooooo only I get to counter spells for free. You can't counter those counterspells, that's not fair!!"

[@barrytdrake]

Thanks, Dev! I appreciate your experience and perspective.

[@temidien]

Nice vid and analysis. Always appreciate your take, man.

[@brooksbeastbrooks]

I really wanted to see Sunfall in this announcement

[@freddiesimmons1394]

What's it like to think 5 mana wrath plus guy needs banning

[@vze1ruuh]

That title card 😂😂😂😂😂

[@LlywellynOBrien]

Apart from anythinh else, why wasn't the one ring just black? Obvioiusly it still would have been broken there, but make it two plus black manna and it would have reduced the dominance.

[@Goldy01]

There was a serialized version and it would have sold way less if it was restricted to a color...

[@adamhall1340]

Lol, biggest ban announcement ever. We just had commander ban apocalypse earlier this year.

[@slimpickens6873]

Commander is for casuals it really doesn’t matter…

[@themistocles5484]

I don't know if you were under the impression primeval titan was banned in modern, but it isn't. Amulet titan is one of the best decks in the format and GSZ slots in nicely in the room left by the ring.

[@thekevmeister77]

Timeless continues to be an unserious format

[@pauldyson8098]

If I can't get Morgan Freeman or Samuel L Jackson to narrate my life, I'll settle for Dev.

[@beleagueredbeluga5228]

Nope, Sunfall definitely needed to kick rocks. If they had banned Sunfall, then all the usual suspects would have been saying that it was a good ban, but they didnt do that, so suddenly yt'ers that had previously pointed out Sunfall now agree that no standard ban was needed. Imagine my shock.

[@Goldy01]

Sunfall is fine. Farewell wasn't.

[@drmagic316]

I honestly though Faithless Looting was banned for Arclight Phoenix's sins.

[@fatpad00]

Phoenix, hollow one, dredge, gaak Looting was everywhere when it was banned. It was too good at enabling graveyard strategies.

[@_Botao_]

Looting and Opan unbans are unhinged. It is likely modern is even worse now.

[@joelmeeks8683]

Have you played timeless? They have faithless looting! Eh eh nudge nudge say no more say no more. Wink

[@charlielarson2407]

Splinter twin and smog

[@connormainwaring8866]

In standard I think Kona，Rescue Beastie is a stupid card. It asks your opponent, do you have removal? No? Ok here's Valgavoth or Omniscience on turn 4.

[@chadclark3186]

Why couldn't they have restricted the one ring?

[@freddiesimmons1394]

Drawing multiple copies is absurd. One copy is just less absurd

[@Goldy01]

@@freddiesimmons1394 having only one copy also makes it more dangerous to play. You can't just reset the counters (and life loss) on it by playing another one. I agree with chad.

[@chadclark3186]

@@Goldy01 also it would have been a flavor win

[@ragn594]

LOOTING IS BACK, IM PLAYING MARDU PYRO ONCE MORE BABY!!!!

[@simonchi5372]

Honestly wished for bans in standard. I don't like how powerful it is and especially certain cards are so good they are pushing out possibility of a lot of archetypes.

[@matthewmarshall5234]

Please tell me I didn't hear you say "they didn't unbann Primetime" and that this video of you doing MTG news was all just an 0/1 blue Fish Illusion creature token. Primevil Titan is legal in Modern. Confused with Commander maybe? Damn dude lol your too smart and funny to be saying ______ ____

[@KevinG9012]

TWIN UNBANNED

The next time you explain bannings can you do it coffee break style

primeval titan not banned in modern

[@michaelranger8718]

So sick of Sunfall. I play a lot of Aggro and get watched against it all the time. Almost a guarantee on turn 4

[@freddiesimmons1394]

If only there was a way to play aggro where you don't overextend.......

[@kylewomack45]

I like news Dev

[@georgehwang6116]

Thanks

[@brawlfan9999]

I maintain that The One Ring should've been restricted to 1 copy per deck, it's in the fucking name

[@Forever_Soul]

This banned gifted me 4 rare wildcard so why not. Im not even playing the card and it was such a blessing specially i need it badly to craft a card 😂

400th like right here!

i care about brawl

[@meatbyproducts]

But they wontBut they won't ban the infante combos in the Founders set. Not just in Standard, but in a single set. Bloodthirsty Conqueror and Marauding Blight-Priest are a two card infante combo! WTF They said 15 years ago they wouldn't make infante combos in standard and they have had a few, and this is in the core set that will be around for 5 years. I am sick of seeing this dumb combo in standard. Then you have one with Aurelia, the Warleader Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea, and Saheeli, the Sun's, again in standard. Doubling Season and Three blind mice. Then they brought back poison and that was always a dumb mechanic. ban th
