City of Traitors +
Lotus Petal consumes as many cards as
Swamp +
Dark Ritual. Some previous Dark Deal decks used a sol land instead of ritual.
I thought the idea was to ban the 2 colorless + 1 colored ones like
Dark Deal,
Wheel of Fortune,
Windfall. I guess some slipped through the cracks. For future rounds it doesn't make sense to ban some but not others that are functionally equivalent. Either they should all be legal, or they should all be banned. It's strange that we ban
Windfall but not
Wistful Thinking, with Thinking being even better.
Barbed Shocker is in a separate tier by costing 4 mana and being vulnerable to blockers/removal. If we've even banned Shocker, I see no reason to keep Wistful Thinking and Induced Amnesia after this round.
