Now you just get to choose what color to splash while playing humans. red for burn or green for gav township and mayor. Hooray, format diversity.

I agree with banning Lingering Souls. It was kind of becoming the "play it or lose" card and Wizards played it safe and nipped it in the bud. I disagree with Intangible Virtue...but for selfish reasons. It killed my burgeoning B/W vampire deck using Bloodline Keeper  and Sorin, Lord of Innistrad

Wait, I'm confused... People actually play block constructed? Since when?

Since always, but I think it's probably played more online.

I get the feeling there's something that they arn't telling us because it concerns as of yet 'un-released' cards.
Perhaps there are cards in Avacyn Restored that would just push a token strategy too far for block constructed. If my guess is correct then it would mean there are cards outside of Innistrad Block, that would help keep any new super token strategy from going over the top.
Erik has clearly communicated why they banned them. Why can't I just take things for face value???

A weak block gets curbstomped by Zerg Rush?
No freakin way!
Seriously, what happened?
Lack of cheap sweepers? Not enough cardboard weenies?

There are a few roadblocks you can throw in the way of these spirit token decks (Blasphemous Act, Sever The Bloodline) but the problem is that as soon as you wipe them out, they have a whole new set of mid-size flying vigilant tokens within a turn or two.
With the next couple Pro Tour events being Block Constructed, it was best to nip this now before we have another Tempered Steel environment.
