Quote from Key-FanI personally don't think Chrome Mox should get unbanned, but I believe JTMS and SFM are even more unlikely to be unbanned. I'm not talking about powerlevel here (I believe JTMS would be unbannable since he's great but expensive. He's somehwat similar to Scapeshift or Splinter Twin and WotC considers these fine) but it's just that I don't see WotC unbanning a 100$ card that would get even more expensive if it were modernlegal
Seriously aside from SFM and maybe Top I actually am in agreement to your list
Well jace and SFM are great, but a turn 3 batterskull isnt so bad considering Tron can often turn 3-4 Wurmcoil Engine. I know SFM is much more consistent and a toolbox but its not so bad. You are probably right though that one of them should remain on the ban list or UW caw-blade will just be a thing again, so maybe keeping Jace on the list and unbanning SFM will be more reasonable.
As for chrome mox, it can form certain archetypes which will make the game very unfun for opponents. I'll throw in an example I guess:
Turn 1: land, mox, chalice @ 1.
Turn 2: land, Trinisphere
Turn 3: land, Lodestone Golem
Turn 4: Phyrexian Metamorph
Im sure there are even better things that mox enables, but the above is enough reason that 2 mana on turn 1 is beyond silly.

What card do you think is more powerful, Steam Augury or Cryptic Command.... ?
One card will be new standard legal and the other is considered an overpowered design mistake.
