Urza isn't getting banned, people. IT took them how long to ban Emrakul, the Aeons Torn? Five plus years for Prophet of Kruphix.
The RC is very, very laissez-faire with the format. If Paradox Engine has survived this long, and the silly mana rocks, Urza will be fine.
I mean, he is busted but he is Urza, so we expected him to do absurd things. Wait a few ban cycles and go from there.
This isn't the greatest argument when Emrakul got banned in 8 months (3 Ban announcements after release but still pretty quickly), Griselbrand after 3 months and Worldfire after 3 months (both in the ban announcement after release).
I am not saying Urza will (or should) get banned but there is precedent for the RC to take somewhat immediate action for cards they feel are detrimental to the format and Engine *not* being banned isn't necessarily an indication that they will just let something run rampant if it is truly hurting the format.
I don't know about you all, but I suddenly have a feeling they might finally reprint the Urzatron lands.... <crosses fingers>
Not here they won't considering there aren't any cards being reprinted that are already Modern Legal (other than the Snow Basics) so you might as well uncross your fingers now
You will have to wait for the next "Innovation Set" for that possibility.
