Next banning.

So will eldrazi temple or eye of ugin be banned next due to the ridiculous pro tour top 8 being 6 baby eldrazi decks?

Unbanning of twin
XD

Out better not be eye of ugin, because that hits tron also

Tron deserves it...

No it doesn't. It was less than 3% of the meta.

At first glance, it may look like wizards screwed up modern with the recent unbannings and overpowered Eldrazi. (There were 6 Eldrazi aggro decks in the top 8 of the recent modern pro tour)

However, I believe they intentionally caused the Eldrazi to annihilate the playing field.

In the lore right now, the Eldrazi are escaping zendikar to wreak havoc on other planes. Wizards may have wanted that to show in the pro tour. It wouldn't be the first time they did something like that (see infect). And it would explain why splinter twin was banned.

It seems like twin would decimate Eldrazi, so with that out of the way it could take over and expand the lore into the tournament.

I do not think its a good thing for them to do, but it makes sense why they did it. (If they even did do it for this reason)

So manipulating an entire format for lore purposes? Seems far fetched.

I would love that, Lore is why I started playing. It's frustrating if you are high competitive but I'm too casual to be affected, i suppose.

It is quite far fetched. Yet still a very cool theory. If not true, at least a realistic representation of the unstoppable force of the Eldrazi.

I think a lot of people are just not used to some new cards changing a format.

Meta will adjust. Too many folks give up when they see a deck that is powerful and the traditional options don't work.

So sad to see a true new deck pop up only to have the Magic community start an uproar instead of waiting to see what the power version will be and side boarding hate.

It doesn't need a ban. Meta needs to adjust to it..

What decks can beat the eldrazi decks? What sideboard cards can compete?

Crumbling dust can easily remove critical lands along with ghost quarter aka modern wasteland
Land hate is now officially a standard necessity in modern.
Surgical extraction is huge
T1 spell snare works well, abrupt decay, thoughtseize is better than inquisition vs the deck
Sweepers like languish, drown in sorrow/Eldrazi exile one/ anger of the gods,

Wrath of God spells, verdict, exile spells, polymorphist jests!

Don't they say the format is broken when every deck has to run sideboard cards to combat one genre of deck??

Merfolk is going to shine against Eldrazi now. Spreading seas is a beautiful card, and the are fast enough to consistently outpace.

That's what I said about Blood Moon but nobody listened.

Blood Moon seems like a must use against eldrazi. Can't allow that  Eye of Ugin win the game for them.
