Ban List Discussion (speculation)

Wizards screwed up. Pod, TC, and DTT are banned. {Golgari Grave Troll} is unbanned. So basically Wizards depowered the format, and gave us nothing.

Wait what, u must be kidding!?!

Nope. http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/banned-and-restricted-announcement-2015-01-19

I wish

There are a lot of people freaking out, so I wonder if they are already rethinking it. I hope they unban {Birthing Pod} within the year.

Anyhow, it will be interesting which new deck comes in to take BP's place. Its "good" for me so I can watch the pros play something I haven't seen 100,000 times.

They literally just did exactly one of the worst things they could've done

Literally? Right up there with making the power 9 modern legal? Let's not jump too far to hyperbole.

Unless they banned something like bolt, path, git probe, serum visions.

Junk will probably be the best deck, {Tarmogoyf}, {Liliana of the Veil}, and {Dark Confidant}s.

Don't forget {siege rino}, and finks!

I think Wizards found a way to piss of the maximum amount of people in one announcement. They could have at least unbanned a real card.

[Z5]

The reason for bannings and u bannings is to shake up the meta. Mario has said sometimes they ban something to spice up the meta regardless of how powerful it is.

Thats what I thought, but they could've unbanned a card that would do that too, I mean come on golgari grave troll.

I have a friend who only recently bought a pod deck, he's going to try to put together junk midrange because he has land base and just needs goyfs

I guess I'm not playing modern anymore:/
