Even the writers can't keep track of all the banned cards...
How about we get some back on the 20th?

The writers should be professional enough to make sure whatever deck they are writing about is legal in the given format. this is just the usual sloppy writing Ive come to expect from JVL
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.

I would love to see a "How to Sideboard" article.

4x Preordain
4x Rite of Flame
4x Mental Misstep
3x Ancestral Visions

"(Modern) versions of Eminent Domain didn't have access to Ponder, but I'm sure they would have played it if they did." Really? Please check out next weeks article Why storm is not winning all the time. But hey, other than not being able to reliably find all of you pieces, this deck is passible. It's kinda like tron, except no one is expecting it.

I really hate Jacob Van Lunen and his very obvious lack of effort when it comes to every single aspect of writing this column. It's incredibly insulting. Edit: Unacceptable.

No, he doesn't playtest at all. He just makes up game scenarios.. referencing cards in the sideboard during game 1, referencing cards not even in the list, etc.
Can we have Ben Bleweiss back please?
Seconded.
