In the last year he has played at every local modern event and says it generally leads to whoever can cast it first ends up winning. Having consistent land-drops was meant to be something you had to work at (like drawing tons of cards).Įxpressive Iteration is the one card my friend actually mentioned to me. If it costed more it would probably be fine, but it comes down too early and effectively warps the game. Wrenn and Six should never have costed 2 mana. This was the same exact argument that WOTC used for banning Deathrite Shaman. He believes Ragavan might get banned at some point due to doing to much for 1 mana and actually forcing the opponent to have an answer for it. Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer is a card that me and my hyper-competitive friend have talked about alongside the other cards on my list. That is it’s main problem, once resolved it literally makes it so the opponent can’t respond to what you’re doing and makes the game very one sided. They had to alter it’s ability so that counter magic could still be used against it’s controller. They even had to alter it in online mtg by making it cost four and changed it’s ability from “your opponents can only cast spells at sorcery speed†to “your opponents can only cast spells on their turnâ€. Teferi, Time Raveler is not bannable? Despite your argument it is overpowered. Omnath, Locus of Creation: 2 (probably up to a 6 if they don’t ban W&6) Teferi, Time Raveler: 3 (assuming it would get banned for being unfun, not power level) Underworld Breach: 7 (pending popularity rise / counter-play) If i were taking a guess at how likely these cards were to be banned in the next 3-5 years, with a “10†being guaranteed, and a “0†being not-ever-happening, i’d have to guess: I think its definitely ban-worthy pending how popular it ends up becoming, and how the meta shifts to deal with it. Underworld Breach has only really caught peoples eyes over the last month, where people have realised you can slot it into a LOT of decks and just get incidental free-wins if the game goes long. I think this card will only ever get banned if something else is printed that can abuse it far too much - which will probably happen at somepoint, but we’re not there yet. The card is strong, but only really sees play to activate delirium. It does nothing on the turn you play it, and makes opening-hands feel more like a gamble. I forgot to mention Mishra's Bauble last time but I don’t see that card getting banned. Also all of the high level Grinding Station decks i’ve seen don’t use Daredevil at all (they use Underworld Breach, and with that can go off on turn 3 also). Reanimator can definitely “go off†on turn 3, and i’d argue would be more consistent in doing so without Daredevil. Daredevil requires deckbuilding considerations, has a pretty low level of consistency, and a very low play rate (hint: there’s a reason it sees almost no play). Twin was hugely popular and you could slot the combo into literally every blue deck. 90% of the time this is just an Anticipate that also gives you a land.Ĭomparing Ovalchase Daredevil to Splinter Twin is extremely unfair. Yep Wrenn and Six should habe either cost 3, or started with 2 loyalty.Įxpressive Iteration is a card that creates more format variety, in that blue decks don’t typically run proactive cards, and red decks don’t often run passive cards. Dragon's Rage Channeler is imo faar stronger than the monke (but also not ban-worthy). Raganan is oftentimes found to be unuseful, particularly later in the game, if you’re on the draw, if the opponents deck has nothing worthwhile to cast etc. The card is typically only good versus control & some combo decks.Īgain, most pro-level players have no real issue with Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer as far as I can tell - the comparison to Deathrite Shaman isn’t a fair one: Shaman is always useful at almost every point of the game. The change of the card on arena is due to balancing it fir that format, not modern. There’ve been many only polls around Teferi, Time Raveler and they all point to him being annoying but nowhere-near overly strong.
