Ban List Discussion (speculation)

[InfinitiveDivinity]

My friends and I had a pretty good discussion on this topic the other day, the main thing we decided on was that they should unban {Green Sun's Zenith} and ban {Birthing Pod}.

That still kills both Kiki and Melira pod while also lowering their toolbox. Birthing Pod isn't even dominating, so i don't see why you guys keep thinking that Pod should take a hot.

We just want to see Green Sun in Modern again, but pod can't stick around if that happens.

The Top 8 meta isnt all that diverse from what ive seen to be totally honest

That doesn't matter though. Decks are strong, and they put up results. But that doesn't sot other decks appearing. For a deck, like Jund to be dominating, it should be at least 15%+ of the meta. Most decks you guys are talking about are only 7-9%. They aren't having the overall play that Jund had when it had Deathrite Shaman, they aren't taking over from over decks being seen. And the Top8 hasn't changed much anyways from last year.

Cards should be unbanned or new ones should be printed for decks to be stronger. It is not like there aren't answers and solutions for decks to play against either. And decks aren't breaking any boundaries that cause them to torrent any bannings

Pod in the past 2 months has made up 12% of the top 8 meta, both online and major paper tournaments. Twin Exarch has made up 15% of the same meta. I'm not sure what the overall makeup is.

if you add all variations of twin decks together you may have a higher percentage as well.

AGain?  They just did one...

My thoughts, {pestermite} {deceiver exarch} and {birthing pod}

Basically......Anything to make tron viable ??

[Jonahcutler749]

It seems like you guys just don't like strong decks. There are clearly answers to birthing pod. It shouldn't be banned answers to them should just become more common In decks. Just because something is strong does not mean it should be banned

[cltrn81]

Regardless whether there are answers for it *cough*tron*cough*. If no one plays those answers, and instead just uses the same thing, that gets boring and they will try and shake up the format.

Maby snappy?  He seems too good...

No way on Snapcaster he is not OP

IMO

[Sparkle Ninja]

Don't ban my snapcaster a yet.... I still need to sell them

[Kaworu, the Fifth Child]

I don't think anything done to modern, but maybe {Living End} ban

[InfinitiveDivinity]

I don't think anything done to modern, but maybe {Living End} ban

That makes no sense. {Living End} isn't even top tier.

[MisterJH]

He is ridiculously good but so are most of the cards $30+ i hope they ban snappy even though im quitting id pick up a playset for dirt cheap cuz its so cool

[Deathstorm]

What they need to do is ban all the fetches

[MisterJH]

For a while at least.. Then unban themone everyones got playsets

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

I don't think anything will get banned in Modern, but I wouldn't be shocked if some stuff is unbanned. I am hoping that {Deathrite Shaman} is unbanned in the next few years.
