It may be a good card, but it would hardly make a “broken” or meta-changing impact such as has been seen recently with Thassa’s Oracle, Demonic Consultation, or the now-banned Flash. Indeed, if Primeval Titan were unbanned today, it would barely make a splash in the Competitive EDH (cEDH) scene. Many players advocate for the unbanning of Primeval Titan, Paradox Engine, or Emrakul, the Aeon’s Torn because they consider these cards to not be particularly powerful. Sure, you might point to 8 of the Power 9 pieces in the Ban List, but honestly there are far more dangerous things than a Mox Pearl in the format. The Commander Ban List Overpowered Cards are not Inherently BannedĬontrary to what some might think, the Commander ban list is not strictly designed to ban the most powerful cards in Magic. After that, we will get into my thoughts on the new Secret Lair set. There are various reasons as to why players want these cards banned, and while players are still actively making their case, I thought it’d be important to understand, first and foremost, why the ban list exists in Commander in the first place. Because of that, they are technically tournament legal in Commander and eternal constructed formats such as Legacy and Vintage. This is a new set of cards released directly from Wizards of the Coast that are “mechanically unique,” yet do not have the silver border they’ve used for similar print runs in the past, such as the My Little Pony and Transformers promotional cards. Last week, the Commander Rules Committee made an announcement that they will not be banning the upcoming Secret Lair: Walking Dead cards. Hi again, it’s Charles here, your friendly neighborhood Dice City Games “Commanbassador”! I’m taking a bit of a break from my Commander theory content to discuss some current events that have caused quite a stir. It is normal that cards get unbanned.Wizards of the Coast’s ad for the New Secret Lair Release So: don’t sell cards you don’t like to sell – you can even keep cards because of your history and memories of them, because of the Artwork, or thereelse – and if you sold them, you don’t always need to rebuy them to have the strongest cards in your deck yet again – and last but not least: just don’t blame us. We mention this, because in the past some guys were mad as we did unban a card and they sold it because it was on our list before, and they blamed us for loosing money. If the meta or rules change or MtG further develops, we consider unbanning cards. But we might ask for your help/opinions/experiences. By not publishing our watchlist we feel we preserve a better balance of the ongoing meta. Therefore players might be tempted to include these cards into their decks more often. A Watchlist implies that the cards on the list are quite strong on the edge of being broken and abusively too strong in this format. We also know that certain cards could fit in several categories while others may not fit in any category at all (or you’d disagree and put them in another category as we did), but we suppose you are clever and get used to the lists. If it is not, you can shorten the search for a card being banned on the format abuse/oppressive cards/Combo cards categories. While we could have done an alphatecially sorted list, we personally find it easier to have some categories: this way, you can more easily access the long list: simply ask yourself: what does this card do? If it is a massdiscard or a land destruction or a fast mana source card you should be carefull and look at the list.
