Banned list update

[Gorzo]

Begrudgingly updated the official sticky. I died a little inside doing it.

I stand corrected... why kill a political card that encourages communication and make it so that people can instawin that much easier?

I wish I could answer you. I am deeply saddened by the loss of Trade Secrets, it is one of my favorite cards. It's been nothing but fun times for my friends and me.

I don't know why they would let staff back in, but I play on using it; more for control rather then combo. I would like trade secrets to still be in, and I still don't understand their reasoning for both cards: secrets- takes away form multiplayer games and makes it more like a 1v1; and staff: there are a lot of 2 card combos why not add an other big combo piece to do degenerate things with.

Say what? I'm going to be super pissed if trade secrets got banned. Off to check.

Edit: what the hell. This is a terrible decision. I could care less about the staff being unbanned, but {Trade Secrets} is one of the most fun cards in the format. Banning it because a few people were being stupid with it and missing the point of EDH in general is really dumb. They might as well ban Mentos because a few people put them diet coke and ruined the carpet.

lol quote of the day. I do hate the banning of Trade Secrets as well.

Grrrr, I just got the last card for my Niv deck in the mail today, and then I read this. Anyone care to guess which card I bought? Efff it it going in anyways damnit! I just won't be playing Niv down at Nerdy Stuff, he'll have to be a home deck.

That stinks man, I feel for ya.  I'm right there with you, my friends and I are likely going to keep playing with it anyway. It's a casual format and we're playing for fun, so if we all disagree with it, why not, right?

We're such rebels.

Same here, Gorzo. My playgroup thinks this ban is pretty dumb, and is choosing to ignore it. In fact, I'm so nice, I even let the one guy play {Gifts Ungiven} in his reanimator deck. I'm such a saint.

[Karrthus]

I'm really upset by this banning. The staff doesn't really bother me, but banning my secrets. My Firemind deck is just gonna run that much slower now. This is garbage. Next thing ya know they will just start banning all the wrath cards. BTW my play group not so forgiving. They stick to the bannings. So I will have to edit a few of my decks now.

Of all the cards they unban, they unban staff?! Jeez!!! Banning such a fun card as {Trade Secrets} is just salt in the wound. That's not even a broken card!

Hey what's up with  {Pontiff of Blight}? Not cool!!!  I was just gonna put that in😤

Wait, what?

My EDH tourement group are allowing it in our tourement as it is stupid to ban  {Trade Secrets}
