    Feelings about show and tell being banned

    From what I hear it seems that almost anyone except show an tell players would be happy to see show and tell being banned. Reasons why it should or should not be banned and why I think it will be in June are another discussion. Here I just wanted to make a poll to see how that hypothetical ban would be received by the legacy community.

    It's not meant to be a discussion about the banning.

    Oh wow, it's this thread again.

    Show and Tell hasn't been close to being a problem for some time now.

    I don't even mind if thread is locked. The poll is the only thing I'm interested in.

    SnT is absolutely not a problem. It's not overpowered or oppressive in any way. Can we stop having this discussion again? (I have never played SnT as a maindeck plan since mystical tutor was banned). I have lost maybe 2 matches out of 30 or so to SnT in that timeframe. It is very beatable.

    Also, bannings are tied to set releases now, so the next change possible would be when Dragon's Maze releases, which is in May, not June.

    S&T is brainless, but also not oppressive. It's a sweet board card for certain decks too. I'm going to be holding on to my set and really have no fear of bannings.

    Banning S&T because it's an easymode 2-card combo is akin to banning Goblin Charbelcher because it's a brainless one-card combo. Both seem suspect.

    The power of S&T waxes and wanes are people are playing more or less ridiculous uncastable cards.

    While Jund is popular, Show & Tell waxes.
    While RUG and UW are popular, Show & Tell wanes.

    This is the natural part of the Legacy cycling of decks.

    Show and Tell is fine. Sure, it's an easier combo deck to play, but it isn't oppressive. There are many was to fight through it, both with targets to put in play to answer their permanents, as well as things like Clique in response. While I personally don't really like the easier 2 card combo decks, I don't see why that should be a reason to get rid of them if other people do.

    But I picked up these pretty Japanese ones and I was hoping to at least get 2+ years of use out of them :(

    Yeah it's really not too bad. When Sneak/Show started getting popular it seemed like it was just an unstoppable monster, but it clearly isn't. It's a good deck at certain times, but it has some issues and some bad matchups, like any good Legacy deck.

    Not really sure why they would ban it now when it's fairly clear it isn't having a huge impact on the format.
    I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

    Massive trolling directed at Lejay, sorry bud. :(

    Haters are going to hate.

    Show and Tell is probably fine despite being completely cheesy. Please direct me to reasonable and conclusive evidence that a ban is warranted.

    I wouldn't complain if SNT were banned.

    Fun to play with. Miserable to play against.

And it wouldn't be too hard to protect him in counter-heavy build.

    While I hate Show & Tell so much, I have to agree with others and say like Counterbalance, it's power waxes and wanes with the flow of the metagame.

    That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to WotC to deliberately print a more expensive functional reprint of Yawgmoth's Bargain just so we can finally have a reason to ban Show and Tell. (I'm aware Griselbrand exists.)
