I’m talking particularly about Ragavan and Wrenn and Six – both of those cards will win a fair amount of games on their own on the play while often being significantly less impactful in the same situation on the draw. For those of you who are familiar with my content and stance on Magic as a whole, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that my biggest gripe with Magic’s gameplay for a long time has been the disparity between going first and second, and any card that exacerbates it in a drastic fashion is a decent candidate for being banned in my opinion. The power level of the format is fairly well-balanced, without any one deck, or subset of similar decks, dominating the field. Let me start this discussion by saying that nothing NEEDS to be banned in Modern right now. Wouldn’t be surprised at a Grief ban but also it’s not that big of a deal. Grief/ Fury: Fury is fine, Grief + undying is pretty miserable to play against though and leads to non-games which is not what magic is about.Orcish Bowmasters: Not even close to being bannable, it’s a pretty meh card that interacts in a cool way to counteract the ring and act as a dynamic black card to answer Ragavan.It’s also pretty broken in Tron and allows them to play the game easily without assembling Tron, which shouldn’t be allowed. The protection timewalk can be a boring/frustrating play pattern for many decks and drawing into another copy to essentially stop the lifeloss from getting out of hand is pretty miserable to play against. The One Ring: while I don’t think the power level of the card is bannable, the fact that it is colourless and can seemingly be slotted into almost any deck makes it a contender for a banning. ![]() I think that generally the format is fine and the decks are relatively balanced.
