Sometimes there are cards legal for reasons that we do not understand. All these bannings though are of cards that were obviously bad for the format even though sometimes it took to long to recognize or get them banned (Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Emrakul, the Promised End etc.). This is a good example of when things went really bad (that's the reason I made the picture above). In Modern the bannings were more common and during one winter Eldrazi dominated. Standard is the most safe format and even that format saw bannings, be it - Skullclamp, Jace, the Mind Sculptor or Emrakul, the Promised End. These two lists shouldn't exist in the ideal scenario, unfortunately from time to time something shows up and wrecks the format - a design misstep. What we want to achieve is balance and diversity in the format. So decided to do this ^.įirst, we should talk about why Banlist and Restricted lists even exist. From Standard to Vintage, I was facing Eldrazi everywhere. The restriction though totally changed that and instead I'd be wading in a sea of Eldrazi and Shops.
#Legend of mana workshop series
My plans at MKM Series Frankfurt Vintage event were to play a predator deck - BUG Fish - and somehow just go through all the Mentor decks. I had one and that also resulted in me being totally out of my mind between Banlist and Restricted announcement in April and the upcoming MKM Series in Frankfurt. I trusted Wizards of the Coast in that matter and tried not to have my own opinion. In Legacy or Vintage though I just blindly followed. It is the very same reason why I stopped playing 100CS when Stoneforge Mystic was banned and why I revolted when Brainstorm, Ponder and others got banned in my favorite Highlander formats. The Modern banlist is the reason why I totally abandoned the format. I realized that I actually care about what ends up on those lists. I tried to ignore all the bannings, restrictions altogether for a long time.Īfter I took a part in voting about the 100CS banlist I started to look at the Banlist and Restricted lists in a different light. Every single day I look at Twitter I see tweets like 'Ban Deathrite Shaman ', ' Mishra's Workshop needs to go'. I became very upset about all the discussions I stopped reading any content about this matter and practically left the Vintage community. Recently Thorn of Amethyst was restricted and honestly I did not expect that at all, even though I read many posts about suggesting Sphere of Resistance or at least Thorn of Amethyst. At that time I thought that Gush would get restricted but that a Shops card would stay in the format in 4 copies. This feeling grew stronger when this card was joined by Lodestone Golem. Since the restriction of Chalice of the Void in Vintage I started to have a strange feeling.
