so we glossed over this lovely quote (which supports my unreasonable crusade to get DRS banned.) maybe we talked about this and i just missed it. but hey..
If you had to speculate on the cards that are the most under ban threat... just assume something gets banned and go from there.
Here's mine:
-Deathrite Shaman
-Birthing Pod
Shaman is played a lot, in many decks, and is hugely versatile. The most possible one.
Pod is a highly effective tutor, these cards are being watched in general.
Most likely nothing gets banned though.
I guess shaman would be the correct ban next, but if they do it makes it even more unlikely to unban Golgari Grave troll, which I think could be done now that Shaman is in the format.
in a format that was literally hitler according to 90% of the people in this thread ...
Yeah so it was pretty much just ichorid beatdown
Is there a way in which we could get in contact with development and ask if they have any plans for unbans in modern?
I know there was someone who wrote a letter to wizards regarding the state of pauper and that resulted in the cloudpost and fissure banning. Perhaps the same could be done with modern now
I miss understood you, you asked if it was playable pre TSP. To that question yes it was, but the meta was much different back then. Add in the lack of GY hate and the deck was playable in that meta.
Did it win by turn 3, sometimes. It had zero consistency. It was an ooops I win type deck.
The deck didnt play Ichorid in Standard and later in Extended. Ichorid came around in Legacy.
You are correct though in that some tools from TSP made the deck more consistent and faster.
Do you have any pre-TSP lists? Im curious to see what it used in place of Dread Return. I can't think of any other free reanimation spells
I'd rather see Confidant go before Deathrite
Twin may use it but doesn't really need it.
It's best used in control or to power out turn 1 confidant
They pretty much killed the AIR archetype though
Maybe they'll give us mox back?
27 brah, be patient
Depends - who wrote that?

And until dread return came out, I don't see how it could have had a win con unless it was just Ichorid beatdown or something
