Quote from Colt47 »I think the bans were all spot on, to be frank. As for tron, the Urza lands need to get banned, but that is a completely different subject.
Quote from alanyuan0408 »I think banning looting is just reckless. If I understand this corectly, banning looting makes these decks unplayable: - Mardu Pyromancer - UR Phoenix/ Mono Red Phoenix - Grixis Goryo's Vengence - Dredge - Hollowed One This is going after way too many decks at the same time. I think they should have just banned Hogaak and unbanned stone forge and left it there.

I feel that while it's unfortunate that there were so many decks that had to suffer because of the sins of Hogaak, I feel that looting just caused too many decks to be absurd in dredge, Hogaak (by that dredge vine as well) and even Hollow one. TBH even though I had success playing Mardu Pyro, I certainly won't be missing the other decks being weakened by the ban I think people are discussing izzet charm in izzet phoenix which is a lot slower but mono red might be out of luck I think this might be my second favourite B and R update behind the JTMS/BBE unban

Quote from motleyslayer » I think that mox opal and ancient stirrings have been cards that people have complained about for almost as long as I started playing modern in 2015, so maybe if looting got the ban hammer then their time is coming soon I would like to see cavern get banned as it makes weird gameplay IMO and makes control a bit worse against tribal decks but I think it's MUCH lower than the first 2 cards
I dont think its fair that blue gets all of its good cantripping spells banned while green can keep this powerful one even if it is one you have to build around
"This is the problem with eternal formats. New interactions are going to keep coming up, new powerful things are going to keep happening If you're response is 'we're going to get rid of that one', then you are going to lose the point of having an eternal format. In Modern, people can't play the decks they've put together that they like and they want to play, which is really a lot of the appeal of the format to a lot of people." 7:13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CMY2KH_SlU&t=492s
