Seems like there's a fair amount of salt in this post.

While I agree that legacy (and to some extent modern) prices are ridiculous, and that standard is not particularly exciting at the moment,...

I know this is the modern thread...but the first thing I thought of when I read this is "nice Force of Will, bruh". It's probably the flavor text on that card or something.

Who knows, maybe Innistrad 2: Electric Boogaloo has something that gives the eldrazi players what for. If not, we can all rest assured the modern banlist will get a little longer I guess.

I think this is a safe assumption. The real question is what the reasoning will be - will WotC write their "mia culpa", or will it be some BS about coverage again?

I honestly think either GGT and/or Dread Return could come off the list and the format would be fine. I get that someone over at WotC hates that dredge is a thing, but without Ichorid, Cabal Therapy,...

This is kind of interesting if you think about it. If the purpose of bans is to keep things fair by giving multiple strategies a fighting chance, why haven't the repeated changes to the ban list...

Obviously. Everyone knows that diversity increases with smaller sample sizes...

I'm disappointed in this as I find modern to be relatively stale. Maybe the addition of the onslaught fetches will shake things up some...

I'm personally hoping for Preordain as it would have a small but measurable effect on the decks I currently play.

I also think that Stoneforge Mystic is pretty safe, especially since Jitte is also...

I'm in the same place as you. This is now the second time I've started to build a deck that seemed fun and interesting to have one of the key components banned. To be perfectly honest, I have little...
