Wow Ponder is going to be banned in Modern, didn't see that coming. The plot thickens...

So, when does the new B/R get posted?
Around midnight I guess, it's not up yet.Quote:

I don't keep up with the Vintage scene so I wasn't aware of that. Why would it get unrestricted in Vintage?Quote:

Or they are just showing Ponder because they like the art and because "pondering" is kind of related to the ban list.
Maybe it is unbanned in vintage though.
Shops and blue decks are dominant now. Dark Ritual decks need a lot of help currently.Quote:

Ponder is a fair card. I don't see it getting banned in modern and if it gets banned in standard I'll lol.
But yeah, one hour and 48 minutes to go by my clock.
Legacy still exists, that's the only reason I need.Quote:

I am almost certain it will get the axe.

It would be sweet if, instead of banning anything, they unbanned all these cards.Quote:

Because such a definition completly invalidates the term "threat" it is not used in the way you use it. In general Magic, "threats" are cards that will win the game if not answered.
