What I most care about though is that since they find SSG unfun, they also found Mystic Sanctuary unfun. They did not only banned Goryos, AD Naus, etc, they also nerfed my Blue Moon deck to oblivion, because some people find it unfun! I alread tried out various UR stuff online. They are terrible wi...

Modern's identity is "Ban the best deck(s) every year, +/- 6mo."

Whether or not SSG was a problem, no good came from its existence in the format. The fact that it was instant speed, uncounterable mana only makes the fact that it almost exclusively powered awful and unfair things look even worse. Good riddance. Reminds me of Mardu Pyromancer getting hit by collate...

Yeah, I think the only thing I'm sad about is that the bans aren't implemented fast enough. In the article, it says it's supposed to be implemented 2/15 (today), but I still see people playing both Field and Sanctuary in the practice rooms. Will sit and chill until the ban actually goes into effect,...

Very interesting to see where things go now. Tron and Amulet/Titan decks going to be the big baddies now? With Field and Sanctuary gone, land hate will be low. Tron will likely be back with force. Titan will still do Titan things, and with Dryad, they still have their cheating "0-mountain Vala...

Also, I think I glossed over this first glance through, but they also openly admit to not banning things in a timely manner. "Throughout the past year, with pandemic conditions resulting in fewer high-level tabletop tournaments, we correspondingly slowed the pace of banned and restricted list c...

I think this is probably the best possible decision they've made in a long time. Again, my only issue is that it should have been done long ago. They used a pandemic and lack of paper tournaments to basically leave Modern out to rot for nearly a year. ALL of these are great bans. Field is powerful, ...

I see they're taking a "salt the earth" policy today. Took a them long enough. https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/february-15-2021-banned-and-restricted-announcement?xkl Notably for us: Modern: Field of the Dead is banned. Mystic Sanctuary is banned. Simian Spirit Guide is ...

Cfusion you are not carefully reading what I am typing to you. I AGREE with you buddy! If it was me making the decisions I would have done things differently. Now please listen carefully: there is value in letting people play with their toys for a long time. You and I may believe this. What makes y...

@cfusionpm the money was lost. Just forgive wotc and move on. It's not just money lost. It's the continued, repeated, terrible management and design choices over the past two years. Failure after failure, yet they continue to make more money than ever. Meaning there is absolutely no recourse for th...

I've had MTGO open and ready to dump every Monday 8am since buying in. As I mentioned before, this was already a mistake. You were expecting a pre-ban announcement when there were was never going to be one, something they decided on last August. If you didn't sell out on the 8th, you probably weren...

Here is something I'm wondering. Lets say they announced the B/R list changes first and not after the secret lair drop. Wouldn't you still lose the same amount of money anyway? I've had MTGO open and ready to dump every Monday 8am since buying in. Again, I'm not mad it's banned, I'm mad it was a ra...

And that would make sense if they A) Banned Uro months ago, when it should have been. Or B) Actually announced the ban in a Ban announcement on a Monday morning. Not a random, unrelated article on a Wednesday. But again, nothing has fundamentally changed in nearly 6 months of Uro. And there have bee...

I also doubt that the Secret Lair alone drove this decision. While the Secret Lair may not have dictated WHETHER it should be banned, I believe 100% that the Secret Lair that drove this decision to happen when it did. Because it sure isn't meta share or tournament performance. If either of those we...

I know this isnt technically part of the topic but why would you knowingly sell 4x Uros at a 75% loss? Aren't they worth more in play value as staples of another format? I get that you don't play pioneer, but why not save them in case you change your mind? I don't play legacy, but I never get rid o...

Money and sales are important. A lot more people would be enraged if wotc let them buy product, then ban something from said product. Yeah, I can't imagine what that would be like! :crazy: But in case it wasn't clear, I'm not mad that Uro is banned. I'm mad that, if they were going to ban it, it sh...

But I guess technically it's better to ban now and then come out with the product. The best time to ban Uro was 3-6 months ago. At least when they let Faithless Looting rot in Modern for a year longer than it should have, there was a cataclysmic broken mess that forced their hand. Here? Absolutely ...

Unrelated? It's an article that sells a card they've decided to ban in several formats. If anything it is one of the best times to say it. If anything you're upset about your financial loss not about the health of the format, and given that you were willing to sell for a while now you've only yours...

Honestly, I've won a LOT of games and matches with Omnath Uro, having never actually cast Uro. I could see myself easily replacing Uro with 3x Growth Spiral 1x Primeval Titan and calling it a day.

Sorry you lost so much on them :( We all basically knew it was coming. Wonder how the meta will shape up now. I think that's what bothers me the most. This wasn't a B&R announcement, this wasn't a Monday "we're going to make a B&R announcement next Monday" announcement, this was a...

Yep. I just sold my Uros for $15 tix. I paid $60 tix each. Represents a 75% loss. :sick: I am happy they're doing it. But I wish they hadn't named it by name. I wish they would announce that "It may be addressed at a future B&R" to keep speculation. Lots of players just got f**ked out ...

Well, they did it. Or at least they're going to. And my entire MTGO collection is effectively worthless. Bye bye several hundred dollars flushed down the toilet, because buybots aren't even touching Uro at the moment. Glad they were able to destroy massive values in a random wednesday footnote annou...

I played Arena for a while. Even dropped $100 to build a competitive deck and really enjoyed it. Then rotation happened, and I didn't really feel like dropping another $100+. Even with Historic, it's just as "rotating" as Standard with their numerous random influxes of new cards that eithe...

I actually went to sell out of my Uro Omnath, and noticed everything was already down in value. I guess this is why (League seasons). Decided to continue to hold either way. When is the next season to start? So I can time when I want to offload?

I guess I don't always have to play money.dec lol. I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty fun to win a game with 0 permanents in play.
