For those that didn't know, the next update for the Modern B&R List will be released on January 19th, What's everyone's predictions on what will be banned if anything, and if anything will be unbanned.

Dude I was just saying my opinion hahahha sorry:p. I think Bloodbraid Elf could be unbanned though

Oh. When you said Skullclamp unbanned I had a heart attack. Young Pyromancer with Skullclamp is basically screaming for the entire format to be red aggro.

YAY LETS KILL SOME PEOPLE. jk. my friend said it comes out tomorrow and I didn't know thay so a little research yielded that Skullclamp was basically a mistake lol so that's what I said that, to imitate what would happen. Anywho yeaaa imagine Skullclamp gets unbanned and Treasure Cruise doesn't. ........

This, like every thread of its nature, has been massively entertaining. Thank you T/O community for being the T/O community.

They should just unban everything and start from scratch.

No no no, ban everything, and restart with the Unhinged/unglued sets.
January 18, 2015 11:41 p.m.
Ban literally everything except basic lands then start unbanning. A new card every week.

Island would literally become the most powerful card in Modern. Or at least tied for it, haha.

@julianjmoss plating? It's not oppressive and easy to deal with when most the time it's on a 1 toughness creature
Also with Idyllic Tutor in modern unbanning Sword of the Meek is still format warping not to mention blue has Fabricate both of which are in the combos colours, effectively giving you 9 copies of the card for you to top deck

Ok tired of reading Ancestral Vision should be unbanned... It won't be so long as there's cascade in modern (example) Shardless Agent
January 19, 2015 3:53 a.m.
tyforthevenom says... #15
I know it's not modern legal but it's the first cascade spell to pop into my head

@tyforthevenom Shardless Agent isn't modern legal.

There aren't any reliable cascade spells in modern that would hit it. Also without reliable library manipulation ala Brainstorm, Cascading isn't always ideal.
January 19, 2015 4 a.m.
CAscading is not what it used to be. Ardent Plea, Demonic Dread and Violent Outburst are the only relevant cascade spells, since they cost the least. None of them are really anything that affects the board, so they are pretty much useless outside of casting the ancestral.
This means you spent 2 cards and 3 mana to draw cards, which is the same net card advantage of Divination. Also, this requires to have no spells costing 2 or less in your deck, otherwise you will be casting random Spell Pierces.

Was looking at it from temur monsters if bbe was to be unbanned
January 19, 2015 4:33 a.m.

Temur Monsters in Modern, Well, Now I've heard it all...
January 19, 2015 5:19 a.m.
tyforthevenom says... #21
Or red green White splas blue (cascade bbe into flickerwisp into flickerwisp into visions)
January 19, 2015 5:30 a.m.
Usually, when wizards updates their articles - a couple of hours from now.
January 19, 2015 7:18 a.m.
go figure wizards wouldn't strap on the work boots before 930

It's supposed to be released at 11AM today EST, so in about 2 hours.

@tyforthevenom Cascade triggers on cast not EtB. Lol then it would be broke!

Banned: Treasure Cruise, Dig Through Time, Birthing Pod
Unbanned: Golgari Grave-Troll
Interesting Legacy/Vintage updates as well.
January 19, 2015 11:07 a.m.
JEEEEEEZ the pod bans are unreal. Also, WGD for Legacy is super cool.
January 19, 2015 11:11 a.m.
wtf wtf wtf
So they did a complete U turn on what they said they would do
January 19, 2015 11:30 a.m.
...sooo....
Pod decks dead now?
They always claimed to be good enough without Pod due to the efficiency of the creatures?
Do you think they will try to find replacement card of some sort and keep going?
January 19, 2015 11:36 a.m.
CharlesMandore says... #38
Not familiar with pod, but it's still a plausible build. It'll just be slower.. and slightly less efficient.
January 19, 2015 11:38 a.m.
Epochalyptik says... #39
There's a featured thread for banlist discussion now that the list is actually out.
January 19, 2015 11:39 a.m.
BOOOOM! pod, t.cruise, and dig are banned. no9 more delver madness.
January 19, 2015 11:46 a.m.
Pod will not survive. You can't play Pod.... Without Pod. There's no way of tutoring creatures onto the battlefield. Lol Super happy about this banning.
January 19, 2015 11:59 a.m.
Who was it that was saying WoTC confirmed they werent banning Dig or T.cruise this round? I guess you were super wrong
January 19, 2015 12:21 p.m.
That was me. There was a statement from Aaron Forscythe saying that they wouldn't ban the delve cards until they had more evidence about whether they're degenerate or not. But they kinda did anyway haha.
January 19, 2015 12:24 p.m.
I'll see if I can dig up the article where he said it.
But there you go. That's what you get for trusting Wizards! Just like we did with their modern masters printings and their commitment to reduce prices! Such a transparent company.
January 19, 2015 12:29 p.m.
tyforthevenom says... #47
it did reduce prices though, dig through time and foil treasure cruises have dropped in price and so has snigger birthing pod
January 19, 2015 12:44 p.m.
Hjaltrohir says... #50
Yeah nutellaisgreaterthanlife I dont understand why they banned Dig Through Time. It didn't warp the format, it didn't even see as much play as Thought Scour.

Wait what? Source?
