So genuinely I think they made the absolute best decision here. Cranial ram is fine in limited and solid at common without access to the artifact lands, putting it at uncommon would be unnecessary. The main reason they pre banned it in pauper is because there’s a bunch of major pauper events coming up immediately after the release of MH3, so they physically *cannot* give it “time to simmer” because the entire meta *will* warp around it, especially considering how good grixis affinity already is. It is extremely similar to cranial plating, losing flash equip in exchange for additional tempo due to coming in with a body. Also, the pauper format panel is independent of WotC so they have no obligation to design with pauper in mind, common is what made the most sense for limited so that’s what they did. It’s a weird thing to pre ban a card but it absolutely makes the most sense in this scenario. Plus, this isn’t a precedent for pauper or any other format, they explicitly stated that in the official video.
@evanpeabody303121 күн бұрын
yeah, I'm not sure why people keep making this out as such a big deal. The Modern Horizon sets are designed specifically for Modern. And it's not uncommon for a card to be bad in one format and terrible in another. Honestly, I'm more surprised that the Modern Horizon sets are legal in any sets outside of modern for that very reason.

@@Ariemius Gavin Verhey released a video on the whole situation. They knew this card would be pretty quickly banned in pauper to keep the meta fresh. The only reason they pre banned it was to preserve the enjoyment of the tournaments coming up and allow people to experience new mh3 cards instead of just the whole meta reverting to cranial plating again. It should not be regarded as a precedent that will be followed because *extremely specific conditions* led to its prebanning, which is unlikely to be repeated again.

@@paulcurran302 right I understand all of that. I'm not arguing whether or not this was a good call for the format. I don't know enough about the format to be honest.

@Timmir0019 күн бұрын
The pauper rules committee, which isn't affiliated with WotC, specified that it was due to the fact that while normally they would allow it to simmer for three weeks before taking action, there are several pauper tournaments that happen the week after MH3 release. So after doing some testing, and seeing how closely the card resembled Cranial Plating and ATG (the later's banning is rather fresh), it was better to pre-ban to avoid it potentially ruining those tournaments.

The reasons behind it make perfect sense though, and they’ve made it clear this isn’t going to be a precedent. Cranial Ram is extremely similar to the already banned Cranial Plating and recently banned All That Glitters, not to mention Rakdos and Grixis artifact affinity lists are already popular and successful in the format which were tested to easily be able to include this new card to do all the same format warping shenanigans that All That Glitters was doing. Plus ATG was an aura which died when the creature was killed, Cranial Ram is an equipment so it stays a threat after the creature is removed. Add on to that their upcoming pauper event that’s supposed to be held just a week or so after mh3’s release, they don’t want to risk a card with such high potential to warp the format being available to warp the format during the event. As for why it was printed at common despite those reasons to ban it, the set is designed with drafting in mind, this card being a common is a good fit for the mh3 draft environment, and it isn’t very smart for them to worry about needing to design their draft around every other constructed format…
