I mean, the whole Zendikar block was pretty powerful and only a couple cards are banned...

They're banning all lands, too, because they make casting spells too easy.

It's a funny article, but you do know it's satire, right?

What if the joke was that this IS true, Wizards wants everyone to be like, "it's not real!" Then BAM. All of it true.

yea im pretty sure {rotting mastodon} isnt broken in any format. wizards may ban a few cards, but they wouldnt just ban an entire set.

If they are confused then they should learn to read.  Took me 15 secs to skim this top to bottom and I went from WTF???? to ok it's a joke in that time frame 😉

The Weekly Mulligan is always satire...its done in the style of The Onion. It's also 'Fun Stuff'...because it doesn't really have anything to do with actual Magic the Gathering.

Is ascendancy that good? I've only played against a pilot who's ridiculously inexperienced

Makes for a easy turn 2-4 win in standard. In modern it's evil

Ascendancy can win Turn 2 but 0 decks run that version. Typically Ascendancy in standard wins T4 or 5 with a rare T3 kill.

In modern (currently) it's a consistent T3 win
