So how does everyone feel about no new bans?

Fuck Copycat, Fuck Mardu Vehicles, Fuck OP bullshit.

They should have just nuked the format clean.

Banned:
Heart of Kiran
Chandra, Torch of Defiance
Gideon, Ally of Zendikar
Felidar Guardian
Walking Ballista

Chandra and Gideon are disgusting Walkers, up there with the Mind Sculptor himself in terms of their impact on Standard. Honestly reminds me of Black Luster Sodier-Envoy of the Beginning and Chaos Emperor Dragon-Envoy of the End from the early days of Yu-Gi-oh!

With Saheeli being the Dark Magician of Chaos, of course:)

Should we YGO now?

>>52168175
Semi-Restricted is what would be used for a) to prevent cards that are obviously broken but not currently warping the meta from becoming a problem in the future (Nissa, Liliana, Nahiri) or cards that would be really dumb, game-changing, super-sacky topdecks at 1, but are way too oppressive at 4 (Ballista)

Wew.

you don't know shit kid.
Gideon is pretty annoying, yeah, but Chandra is a joke if you have access to good permanent removal.

I support no bans, but at the same time this format fucking sucks right now and I don't know how to possibly fix it other than Amonkhet being an A+ set, and even then we would STILL have fucking BFZ lingering for like 6 more months.

no bans is great

no unbans is bullshit

wotc is way too fuckin banhappy

>>52167514
I haven't played standard since my first rotation.

>>52167514

I don't think bans would fix what's wrong with the game right now, which is:

1.) Price (makes people less likely to experiment with decks/cards)
2.) A design emphasis on powerful, pushed creatures, which means just the best creatures get played and anything that is "sub optimal" is disregarded as limited jank.
