Quote from tomthumbYour ban list is horrible and would lead to non-interactive combo decks dominating the format. Until Wizards prints a good free counterspell for Modern Ponder cannot be unbanned. It just can't. *Especially* if preordain is unbanned.
Yeah, well you know what? The current banned list is worse. It basically reads...
"If a deck wins and makes up a significant portion of an event's top 8, the deck will be banned."
Because there is nothing to keep anything in check. All the powerful cards are gone. So a deck that gets put together that starts to dominate has only one option for it. Banning.
And this will go on and on and on and on and on until the banned list is 100 cards long.
Enjoy that format because I want no part of it.
