    • @nekrataali
      @nekrataali Год назад +9

      @@ChannelFireball Honestly I think that's where Modern needed to be from the start. The format started with a banlist that had a bunch of stuff that didn't need to be there, which caused some cards to be stronger than they should have, which led to R&D banning themselves in circles.
      Bloodbraid Elf and Deathrite Shaman were banned to nerf Jund, which caused Splinter Twin to go unopposed. But Splinter Twin was too strong, so it got banned, and then Eldrazi had a field day. So they ban stuff out of Eldrazi. I doubt anything in these decks would have needed a ban if Dark Depths and Ponder are legal in the format from the get-go.
      Only a few cards need to actually be banned in Modern. Sensei's Divining Top is an obvious choice. Umezawa's Jitte may be another (since it makes aggro a lot worse). People don't even play Mental Misstep in every deck in NBLM.

    Urza’s Saga the best card in the UG deck, and arguably the best card in NBL. I don’t think this means it needs to be banned in regular modern tho. The reason it’s so good is it’s carried by the artifact lands and mopal, and it overpowers oko.

    • @nekrataali
      @nekrataali Год назад

      It does seem like it's unsolved. I still think No Banlist Modern should be seriously looked at by R&D. A lot of Modern's current banlist is a result of WotC banning themselves in circles. A lot of cards can come off. Chrome Mox is a good example. WotC is worried it would lead to to too many turn 1 or turn 2 kills, but I think it would more likely be used the same way it was in Extended circa 2004. Chrome Mox was used most often in aggro decks to help them keep up with combo.
      Playing two Goblin Lackeys on turn 1 or getting Psychatog going on turn 2 with Circular Logic as backup were much, much more common plays than something absurd like Storm using Mind's Desire.
