bury the year Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Standard, Modern, Legacy, Vintage: No bans, no unbans. Commander: No bans, no unbans. Duel (French) Commander: Mystical Tutor banned. Discuss? I for one am not surprised, but I feel like there's gonna be a seas change soon. Two reasons: 1) There's gotta be something to be done in Modern to keep the growing barrier to entry down, and the banlist is the only reliable way to do that (if not a popular method). 2) Chalice of the Void is really wrecking Vintage: Workshop -> CV on 1 -> CV on 0 = GG. Whether this is intentional on Wizards' part or not remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Banning stuff in modern is not the answer to keeping prices down, that's probably the worst way to go about fixing that problem. Reprint sets are the most effective but it can cause problems as showcased by MMA 1 and 2. I'm expecting something to be done about miracles in legacy pretty soon. Either by getting rid of counterbalance, dig, top or terminus. The deck is too over represented in the meta and the mechanics of the deck often cause games to go to time. I'm not to familiar with vintage but I can see chalice as a problem, then again this is a format were t1 trinispheres are allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 getting rid of... top... That would be nice for reducing the price for EDH, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I was surprised no Summer Bloom or Top were banned. Disappointed, if anything. These banlists always bother me because Legacy is something that is mostly overlooked by wizards and Modern never seems to matter unless a Pro Tour is coming up. But it is Modern PPTQ season, as well, which is something different and that would make sense as to why they didn't/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Really shocked Bloom didn't go. The deck can kill as early as on turn 2 and turn 3 kills are pretty common. I guess they will only make changes when the PT comes around which is really lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try to push down the prices on one part of a deck through printing more, it'll get more people interested and boost the prices of the non-reprinted parts.

Thus prices can end up going up. I know I picked up Arcbound Ravager for like $15 or so a year ago and now they are like $40-$45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Most of the cards I need are the ones printed in MMA1 and 2, so I am not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
