Guys, just pay the Echo costs, that should fix it. :)

Too much echo. e.e

@sakonhagakure

Except they don't ban cards every tournament.

[MrShikaki]

@sakonhagakure That's what they want to avoid. They've only banned...what...2 cards last year? At least it's not like yugioh, where not only is banning a regular thing, its scheduled

@Geno6662000 Lol, are you kidding? Modern is fun as hell.

[sakonhagakure]

Doesn't this guy realize he's not going to please everybody but he's going to piss everybody off if he just keeps banning cards after each and every tournament. Alright I get it fine leaving cards that kill the format in the format for too long makes the format unfun (see jace the mind sculptor in the last standard) but banning cards after 1 single tournament is just jumping the gun and making the format just as unfun as letting bad cards sit.

@coltsfan354 Because the Leylines and the Chancellors only do something for no cost a very small percentage of the time, and most of those things are not even that good?

[coltsfan354]

I don't have a problem with a reliable 3/3 when you have some extra land. I mean,the reason they have with banning Wild Nactaal was that it was too strong for its mana cost. What about the Leylines from M11 or the Chancellor's from New Phyrexia, which can do stuff for literally no cost, and with some of them, they can totally alter what the board would normally look like before the game even starts up. That and the Zoo deck was actually pretty fun to watch.

[magmarex1]

can we have the origonal modern ban list back please, that looks like the healthiest modern has been so far.

[ewokFTW]

@ewokFTW also the problem with modern is if you don't play legacy or standard then you just play casual or edh, there is no reason to stay between legacy or standard.
