Ban List Update

[Forbidyourways]

So Modern just got pooped on Treasure Cruise and Birthing Pod are now banned and also Treasure Cruise is banned in Legacy and is restricted in Vintage pretty crazy stuff

Pod ban surprised me.

[Hunteroffire9]

Time to take apart my cruise burn deck Considering it's not legal in any format

[imthelolrus]

I wish I speculated harder on GGT now 😔 Pod ban has been talked about and now that they were shifting away from combo I think Wotc felt justified.

Where can I see the list?

Anyone else think that the {Dredgevine} just got really good

Stinkweed Imp does the same thing. Dredgevine is still going to be tier 2 or 3, GGT was only on there because Wizards screwed up years ago

Oh. It's a deck that I really want to be good because I have the peices to it and it just hasn't gotten there yet so I got excited

Lol almost went to put together a pod deck. Guess I'm gonna nix that.

I'm shocked that {Birthing Pod} is banned. It hasn't really felt like that powerful of a deck to me, I mean I've played it a few times and managed to beat it a small amount of those times. I understand the meta call though. So I guess it's justifiable. Not going to miss it.

They say that {Treasure Cruise} and {Dig Through Time} are banned in Modern cause they're almost the same thing. Then they don't ban or restrict them in Vintage and Legacy. SMH.

How the hell did {Jeskai Ascendancy} and {Glittering Wish} evade a ban?! They weren't even addressed.

On a very, very happy note {Golgari Grave-Troll} is unbanned. My retracimator deck was already going to go through a huge overhaul. I expect it to do very well on Untap when I'm done fixing it up.

TC was banned in legacy

TC was banned in legacy

And restricted in Vintage

[Falcon182]

I think dig is more powerful but double blue makes it not as splash able, which makes it less overpowered I guess.

I think dig is more powerful but double blue makes it not as splash able, which makes it less overpowered I guess.

What format?

In Modern, Dig and Cruise could be (and have been used) interchangeably by many decks, but the biggest offender (Delver) might not have used DTT to the same extent they used TC.
In Legacy, the second blue is huge, and RUG Delver will prey on UR Delver if it tries to us DTT. The only deck really using DTT is Miracles and it is kind of non-bo, so it isn't something to be afraid of.
Vintage: IDK, but I would guess that the second mana on DTT is extremely relevant, but because of the Restricted List the "best 2 of 7" is stronger.
