    I quit the format because I got fed up with the rules committee and their banlist consisting if whatever they lost to the day before. Prices on cards just shooting up and down based on arbitrary bans/unbans. The format being infested with scrubs drove my spike brain bananas.

      Oh yeah, local banlists are cancer. I got super lucky with a proxy-cool LG as I couldn’t afford that shit. I still play Vintage too though; modern and EDH just updated their ban-list actually lmfao.

      I think Urza’s Saga got banned from something but I can’t quite remember.

        Saga and the new anti-zero CMC artifact just got restricted. Grief was banned in both Modern and Legacy. Nadu ate a ban in Modern.

        I’m so jelly you get to play Vintage on paper. We have a lot of Legacy players in my area, but we mostly play between rounds of Limited or Standard/Modern. It’s hard getting people into older formats because they just get intimidated by the sheer amount of decks in those formats.

          Wizards: “Nadu was a mistake and we didn’t play-test them.” - from the actual website

            I quit Modern when they announced Modern Horizons 1. I didn’t sell my cards, though, because I thought maybe it wouldn’t be that bad. Nope. It’s only gotten worse lmao. Nadu was such an obvious “WTF.”

            WotC: “This is for EDH.”

            Everyone during spoilers: “Keeping track of the triggers is a logistical nightmare and one of the most commonly played cards is Lightning Greaves.”

            WotC: “Literally no way of knowing how good cards are.”

            And of course Maro is out doing damage control by strawmanning everyone’s complaints.
