My votes:

- Artifact lands, GSZ, Pod and Preordain. I believe all these unbans are long overdue and the last time Pod was playable in Modern was when Siege Rhino was a good card.

Unban Splinter Twin, Birthing Pod, and Green Sun's Zenith. Twin is a pretty obvious one, so I won't go into more detail. Pod is easily interacted with, but possibly problematic power-level-wise. I'd also settle for a GSZ unban -- Finale of Devastation is arguably better anyways when it can search for non-green creatures, get them from the graveyard, and even win on its own with the infinite mana combo. The mana efficiency of Zenith would diversify options in the Druid combo shell and other more fringe toolbox strats.

This is all assuming a Veil ban and hopefully something from Urza too, my pick being Urza himself.

Continues to be a complete laugh that GSZ is banned in this format.

******UNBAN TWIN!******UNBAN BRIDGE!******

****BAN SOMETHING FROM THE URZA DECK!***

Twin ban was unfounded to begin with. The Bridge ban was completely wrong, hogaak was the problem and now with faithless looting banned too bridge is even less threatening than it was before hogaak was printed.

To those voting for Green Sun's Zenith, I hope you are preparing yourselves for SFM-levels of disappointment.

Even Twin or Pod at this point would pale in comparison to the degenerate lunacy that has come to define this format over the past year.

Without multiple additional bans, any reasonable unban would proceed to do absolutely nothing.

I'm okay with disappointment. I voted for Bridge from Below, Pod, Twin, Green Sun's, and Preordain.

In today's meta, removed from the constraints of any other bans?

Twin alone.

#UNBANTWIN in #MTG MODERN


Everyone should tweet directly to @mtgaaron. If we are serious then we have to push the people in power for change.

I love the way the talk of unban twin is precluded by what needs to go Oko, Veil so that temur twin is not too strong. This is why stuff gets banned, including Gsz, Pod etc. not for power at any one time, but for potential in the future with the cards they are pushing the envelope with, and boy are they pushing. I think grave troll taught them a lesson not to unban without reason. Selling packs with Jace in is a reason (for them, obviously). I am struggling to see the upside for them in unbanning, no packs to sell either way and they don't want more combo in the format unless it involves selling packs.

The ban talk also shows why a suspend list and banned list works better.

What should happen is we suspend cards for 6 months rolling on six months theteafter as needed or ban them for life.

Predictions-
I don't think Twin will be unbanned in Jan.
I don't think gsz will be unbanned in Jan.
I don't think Bridge will be unbanned in Jan.
I think any unbans will happen around April, and I don't see Twin or Pod even then. Gsz maybe.

I think there may be an Oko ban. I don't think Veil will go this Jan, might be wrong.

I honestly think preordain is probably fine, it's not like storm is putting up results. Might help GDS a bit but that's not horrible either. Green suns and splinter are well overdue.
