Oath of the Gatewatch didn't count as a shakeup?Quote:

Modern needs to lose Bloodmoon, Choke and Bridge.Quote:

Less than 2 hours away!
This B&R won't actually take this GP into account, but it would take Chiba into account. The actual decision is made about ~45 days out from the announcement because of the lead time needed for MTGO. This was revealed last year after they restricted Golem in Vintage.Quote:

I have Lantern on my desk, so I do not say this as someone who would be happy to lose my deck. But Modern is made with a different set of idea's in mind over a format like Legacy and it should not be treated the same. Cards like Choke and Moon do not seem to fit into the ethos of the format as I understand it.Quote:

If they ban MM I will play that format again, until then I want nothing to do with it. That card is poison in every format it touches.Quote:

And a lot more non-games too. I'm all for a shake up, but some things (like Hypergenesis for example) should stay banned.Quote:
