About the only thing potentially killing Egon's chances of seeing play in Modern and Legacy are that he costs 3 mana (all the good Delve creatures can cost 1 mana) and that he is legendary (so opposing Karakas can continuously bounce him - note that this killed Tasigur, the Golden Fang's chances in Legacy). It's quite possible that the fate of a 3-mana fatty is always foreshortened in Modern.
Throne of Death's self-mill won't matter - I never liked Search for Azcanta's front side.
Id imagine Gurmag Angler also didn't help Tasigur's chances.
Holy***** having a rando praetor around amde things interesting. Also the card is so good.
So did the phyrexians managed to reversen engineer Memnarch's teleporter thing(forgot the name). Or maybe Tezzeret decided to go back start helping the phyrexians.
Banned because it wins seemingly out of nowhere. No other criteria mentioned.
While other cards also meet this criteria, it seems they leaned on the fact that it requires little deckbuilding focus to be effective.
I believe this is the first card to be banned because it wins seemingly out of nowhere since Coalition Victory. I do not know if this means other cards will start being more heavily considered for banning... but that seems like the logical conclusion.
Certainly shocked, that’s for sure. There’s precedent now for similar cards gaining traction for potential bans. Tooth and Nail being the first card I think falls into a similar category.
You know that tooth and Nail can be sued to tutor anything else that isn't combo right? Tell me what does Paradox Engine offers other then straight up combo? Untaping a couple of mana rocks to add more mana? Woow.
Tough i think they could have explained more the reason why it was banned, but now people aginst the comitee will twist their words in this and used it as more ammuntion.
Thats young Nicol Bolas, even before he gain his spark. The Eldest reborn descripts when he got revived during Time Spiral, he was "dead" for sometime when Tetsuo Umezawa defeated him at the high of his power as a planeswalker.
The Ravager IS WAAAYYYYY before before the events of The Eldest reborn, during his younger days pre-spark.
Monologue Tax and Archaeomancer's Map are overrated trash for their current pricing.

Don't you think that the format dies because if a card is banned, isn't problematic? Looting should be considred before it becomes a Brainstorm.

JESUS CHRIST!!! Why is Selvala so expensive? Wasn't aware she was this crazy played in commander(i have a Selvala deck tough)
