Sure, those cards can be Forced or Dazed to maintain board control. But simply casting them still reduces hand size and gets you out of Visegrip. otoh, T1 Delver in that same situation will continue to be damage output.
When you factor in that people run FoW and Chrome Mox (Hymning themselves), mulligan, etc., Vise does even less damage. T1 Vise is still amazing. I'm not saying it isn't. I'm just saying Delver with blue protection and the same disruption suite is probably better. I guess you can argue that Delver flipping has variance, more likely to flip by T3 after a cantrip, but at most you can argue it's only a marginally worse turn 1 play and still a much better topdeck.
As for type Artifact, blue decks can still counter it, GB decks can Abrupt Decay it, combo decks can outrace it and aggro decks can just drop creatures under it. Combined with disruption, probably strong against combo and pure control, less good against tempo and aggro.
IMO the best argument to not unban Vise is that Delver decks can abuse it. But in terms of power level I don't think it's any more broken in this format than Delver.
Can they errata Delver to a 2/2?
Black vise is quite unfair card when you can play many of them there are for sure gonna be hands where someone is gonan get double or triple vise turn 1 from sollands / rituals.
I'm more concerned with Vise being Delver 5-8 and/or a colorless super-Lightning Bolt
Its too.easy to go to top deck mode in legacyQuote:

Wow, they actually banned Deathrite in Modern, didn't expect that to actually happen. No changes Legacy, as per the usual.
Well, I only lost a Temple of Deceit in my bet that TNN would be banned. There's always next announcement.
Holy shit, bring out those tinfoil hats!
