Of all of the things I've seen people say around bans/unbans, I feel like the vast majority of magic players I know hold this same unspoken opinion that Mox Opal is fine and Urza was the real problem. It's odd to me how it sortof feels like common knowledge, though people don't talk about it that f...

Claws to Essence 1w Instant Exile target creature, it's owner gets gains life equal to twice it's converted mana cost. Molten Blast 1r Instant Choose one - * Exile target artifact. * Deal 2 damage to target creature, if that creature would die this turn, exile it instead. Focused Electrocution xr I...

- absolutely no sign of Scalding Tarn anywhere. it's a shame that the names of the Darkslick Shores cycle don't really suit Zendikar because I feel like they'd be an excellent and timely reprint. of course if the Phyrexians showed up on Zendikar, that'd kinda allow it =P You don't really need phyre...

An alternative would be a Unified Will type of card, "Exile target creature if you control more creatures than it's controller. I think White could do with something like a 2 cmc version of swords to plowshares . Might not deal with Uro well, but it would be good in some situations and decks t...

Pioneer seems unplayably bad right now. Top decks are all combos that are difficult or impossible to interact with: Inverter, Lotus Breach, and Heliod. Seems miserable. Probably why online events are apparently not even firing, because nobody wants to play that format. I don't have any stake in Pio...

wotc should not be vague on this. They should show it, so that people could see if it's actually offensive. While I agree it would be nice to see exactly what the problem is so we could judge ourselves. I fully understand why wizards aren't posting something they deem against their code of conduct ...

I've read the posts on twitter, and up to now it's still a mystery to me what exactly is the offending content she posted? It's probably just wizards overreacting to some soccer mom complaints or something who couldn't handle their kids seeing stuff that is sexy, even all the important parts are co...

Thought Manifestation u Creature - Illusion Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, you may have Thought Manifestation phase out, if you do, target tapped land you control doesn't untap during your next untap step. Whenever Thought Manifestation phases in, put a detail counter on it. If Thou...

A quick look at some of the stuff from Jumpstart that isn't modern legal that I or others haven't been commonly listing that seems like it could maybe see some theoretical modern use, if nothing else, in some budget decks perhaps, or some weird future fringe cases reliant on theoretical future cards...

Archivist of Mysteries 2ww Creature - Human Priest Prowess, Lifelink When Archivist of Mysteries enters the battlefield, you may return target artifact, enchantment or land from your graveyard to your hand. 2/5 Archmage of Archaeology 2uu Creature - Human Wizard Prowess, Flying When Archmage of Arc...

Inspiring Youth w Creature - Human Soldier Vigilance, Reach If Inspiring Youth died the previous turn, create a 1/2 white soldier creature token with vigilance and Reach at the start of the upkeep. 1/2 Vibrant Wisp w Creature - Spirit As you cast Vibrant Wisp, choose a color or colorless. Flying Vi...

The feminist vs trans issue get ZERO press coverage in the US. Feminist voices have been quite effectively suppressed. All the years of fighting for pro-female legislation gets torn down in a blink of an eye. As it turns out, if men want to take away female opportunities all they need to do is clai...

The "bulk of prejudiced people" you refer to make up less than 1% of our society. But who gives a %$#% about that? Let's burn the whole damn thing down because of those pieces of garbage. Sorry, I don't buy it. It's just a flimsy excuse to justify injustice and we see right though it. The...

Depends on what country you live in. I'm pretty sure in parts of Europe both the far right and the far left would probably be eager to kill the Romani, if for different reasons. Europe, Asia, the America's, Australasia... And it is a defining trait of the Far Right. They hate everyone who is not li...

Well, one literally would want to kill me for being 1/8th Romani and mentally ill, the other would not. :thinking: Depends on what country you live in. I'm pretty sure in parts of Europe both the far right and the far left would probably be eager to kill the Romani, if for different reasons. And si...

I really don't get why people with political views they should know are controversial make their views matters of easily confirmed public record by engaging with them through social media. It's just asking to make enemies.

Would crystal vein be too good for modern?

Almost certainly, especially as long as Tron and Eldrazi Temple are legal.

would these cards be legal in pioneer and modern? No, the new cards will only be legal in legacy, vintage, and commander (and the commons in pauper, presumably?). Jumpstart is basically a faster way of doing draft/sealed like decks. You just open two different jumpstart packs and jam them together,...

Also, dogs of our neighbor sometimes bark at me for no reason.. maybe they know I like cats. lol Dogs barking isn't always aggression, it's often just calls for attention, or to try to communicate the presence of something the dog noticed. I'll admit it can be scary if the dog has loud barks. Of co...

Why is it appropriate for WOTC to be ashamed but not the song companies that sell hate filled songs? Art is SUPPOSED to be allowed to be offensive, it is one of our fundamental principles. We can dislike the art and condemn it as awful garbage, but you do not censor it. The reason I used the word '...

Since we are censoring art that is offensive, how about we stop selling any songs that have lyrics with homophobic or racial slurs in them? What about the songs that speak about raping and abusing women? Why are these things allowed to not only exist, but (gasp) be sold to the common consumer for a...

Complete nasty %$#%$#%. Invoke Prejudice is supposed to be a cautionary tale AGAINST racism. Banning the card is a measure of cowardice and takes away the intention of the card. Fear-mongering should not rule this world, and Wizards of the Coast is pandering to a garbage demographic. Not from the p...

That's some super twisted logic. You should re-read my above post, because I literally explain why Twin wasn't predicted as a serious ban candidate. ktkenshinx can correct me for sure! Twin being put out into the unlikely bans together with Tronlands, Goryos, or some super unlikely suggestions make...

https://modernnexus.com/modern-banlist-predictions-for-january-18-2016/ Re-read your article you linked, it proves you wrong, Twin is literally listed in the unlikely bans, the reasoning given that it is unlikely, but it was still brought up at all, meaning it wasn't completely out of left field, p...
