Mental Mistep, now legal in like 1 format. Normally, I'm pretty supportive of Wizards decisions, but it seems we've had so many bannings lately. I mean yeesh.

Lulz. This is hilarious. You banned Green Sun's Zenith(i literally lol'd at that one). And now with all the new bannings I shall get popcorn and await the nerd rage!
I like fun, but competitive decks. So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.

Well, mine is more of the nerd general discontent.

GSZ ban is interesting, but I'm on board with everything here.

Why did they ban Ponder and Preordain?

I'm fine with the bannings as well. (Might have banned Emrakul over Cloudpost, but this works too.) Rite of Flame in particular needed the banhammer. That said, I'm not sure how much banning Ponder and Preordain actually does. Serum Visions  and Sleight of Hand  are just fine cards themselves, so this is a very minor effect on blue-based combo decks.

Only card I'm sad to see banned is Green Sun. Also a little surprised to note see Emrakul get the axe. But yea, side from that, not shocked about the bans. Why did they ban Ponder and Preordain?
They help fuel combo decks way to much. Personally I think Ponder could have been left, but they are being heavy handed atm since they would rather be safe then sorry.

So...you killed the core land of a big deck...Blue Utility is TOO GOOD and combo decks need to wait a turn.
Ok I guess...I mean, I'm fine with it as it def slows the format down but I can tell people are going to be piiiiiiiiissssssed.
