MTG Modern: Banlist Edition

Is that a blood moon ban? Why? Might as well hit choke too.

jesus christ wizards just cannot into rulings can they?

>>44373696
Maybe because it isn't "fun" to play against? I have been salty since Birthing Pod ban, and now I am playing Merfolk. Thanks wizards for being douchebags.

>Banning blood moon

But that's retarded. It's one of the only reasons not to go full retard with the manabase.

>>44373790
What if that's the point, with them printing all these Expeditions, their value over basics just increases if you ban options to limit them.

>>44373675
Yo, cancerfag, there already is a Modern thread:

Also, those bans would be amazing. I approve. Go for it, WotC.

>>44373675

Amulet being banned is the wrong thing to ban since you really just need to ban Summer Bloom which makes AmuletBloom.dec a little bit more "fair" but then again WotC are retarded in knowing what should and shouldn't be banned.

As for banning Blood Moon, I dunno seems weird. Isn't Blood Moon being prevalent in the format just to punish greedy manabases?

>>44373726
Being choked out, or boiled isn't fun either. They don't even fucking think about shit, do they?

Probably because Choke only hits "Islands" where as Blood Moon hits "all their fancy new lands that people can't play now."

Yes I know WotC are retards and don't know what they're doing.

>>44374856
unless someone is playing mono blue those wont matter much. With no fear of blood moon you can have all sorts for blue from nonislands.

>>44374856
Which is why people run oboro, minamo etc.

Blood moon hurts non-red greedy decks more than it hurts greedy red mana bases. Blood moon hurts abzan or sultai far more than it hurts jund or jeskai. A better land hate card in modern would be a back to basics in red

>>44375035
This is a good point.

Maybe banning blood moon will help balance out red being overrepresented in modern.

>>44375035

I was thinking more that Blood Moon doesn't hurt most Twin decks as much and I guess they want to have something to weaken Twin's control but not ban the combo itself.

>>44375051
I wouldn't say it's over represented but it'd be nice to remove one of the biggest hindrances to bant, esper, sultai and abzan from being viable compared to jeskai or jund or grixis

>>44373675
I'm sad that I can't use Blood Moon in modern but this should make it much cheaper for my legacy deck.

>>44375146
Literally over HALF the decks in modern run red.

OVER 50%

>>44375334
>>44375334
Oh fuck didn't know it was that high. Yeah that's bad

>>44375334
So I guess is a good ban then.
