The banned/restricted list update is supposed to be today. Checked the mothership (the new site) and no update for Monday's articles. http://magic.wizards.com/en
Damn, I just looked at the DTB Section. Holy shit. Elves no longer a DTB? I wish that was true where I live!
I think you should delete it. (I'm not Jewish, but it shouldn't matter if I am or not.)
D&T vs. Esper both had Equipment, and Andrew Shrout (playing D&T) got SoFI online, but it still didn't matter, because TNN + equipped Batterskull >>>
While I am of those people who think it's safe to unban, the number of people who think it would be too good in Storm is nontrivial. I think the next step in the discussion of Jar is to demonstrate...
One-mana uncounterable Shock would be nice!
I think we should be having a conversation of whether Memory jar is safe to unban before we talk about cards that do the same thing as Memory Jar but two turns earlier.
Well, I only lost a Temple of Deceit in my bet that TNN would be banned. There's always next announcement.
Too late :p
True-Name's getting banned on Monday. I'm going to wager on it with a few friends tonight.
I would still answer yes. Golgari Charm isn't enough to beat TNN if The Nemesis is already equipped. Having access to 3 mana answers against a 3-mana arguably bannable card doesn't mitigate the...
Another counterexample: WotC banned Stoneforge Mystic & Jace TMS a month before their exit from Standard, despite having recently reprinted Stoneforge Mystic as a 2-of in a preconstructed theme deck....
If we're start pointing our fingers at SFM/Equipment, I'd say Jitte is probably a wiser ban than SFM/Batterskull. Jitte is always good with or without SFM. No other Equipment have such a potential...
This is the direction I would go with Academy. I'm kinda bored with facing idiots on MWS, so I might be willing to spend more time goldfishing and tweaking a list just for my personal enjoyment.
Forget Tezzeret. Splash green for Crop Rotation, add Time Spirals instead of TfK, and throw some Eldrazi up in that bitch.
I don't know how the ball got rolling on unbanning Academy, or Mind's Desire. I was the one who initiated the 234234th iteration of unbannings, but I was only talking about WGD and Memory Jar. Guess...
Really, that's your worst nightmare about Tolarian Academy? Try Ornithopter x2, Mox Opal, Springleaf Drum (or Mox Opal #2, thanks to new rules), Academy, Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas (aka Tezzeret, sees...
If you're not being sarcastic, why don't you make the new poll?
I actually once made a thread asking what people think about the notion of banning fetchlands. But it became pretty much established...
Me neither. But those are the cards people talk about banning, hence them being the choices of a new poll. I hate it when people bitch about bannings as much as the next person, but it would be...
By the way, can we either update the poll at the top of this thread, or just create a new poll for cards to ban or unban (that would serve as the new B&R Thread)?
Maybe this would be a good start...
I know that Memory Jar is pretty powerful, but the decks some of you guys are mentioning that would abuse MUD aren't convincing examples. You could build a Storm deck around Memory Jar, but I don't...
Worldgorger Dragon should be first in line as the next card to unban, because it would be by far the safest and most inconsequential unban. No deck featuring a WGD combo would emerge as a dominant...

No changes. Continue your bitching, folks.
I've found Relic of Progenitus to be quite handy in dealing with DRS, and it's quite useful beyond that since it can shrink Goyfs and turn itself into a card if your opponent tries to Abrupt Decay...
So Deathrite Shaman is good. Remind me, when does a card simply being good suddenly become a candidate for banning? Oh wait, I just remembered I'm in the Source, where people bring up bannings every...
