No changes.

[Blackhound]

Anyone think somthing should be banned ?

[Blackhound]

Or unbanned for that matter,

[Whole]

Some people keep saying JTMS and BBE should be unbanned in modern. I don't play modern much so I don't know how stupid or sensible that statement sounds.

[Kaitscralt]

The Modern banned list could definitely use some tweaking, starting with Jace. No new bans.

[Khaospawn]

I think Modern is pretty healthy.

[Mcdonalds]

With the new fetches, they probably are not going to unban anything, given the mana is now much better in the format

Prolly wouldn't unban jace regardless

[Kaitscralt]

I think we've had enough time to heal from the Jace spurn

[Platypus]

They aren't going to unban Jace without a reprint happening at the same time.

[( G_R )]

That's exactly what I think: Jace wasn't banned for being overpowered, but for being overpriced.

If GSZ and punishing fire get unbanned, sure

[Jack]

That's exactly what I think: Jace wasn't banned for being overpowered, but for being overpriced.

I think Jace was banned out of fear just because he was so overpowered in Standard, and they didn't want the same thing happening in Modern. I'm pretty sure that price is the main reason he isn't being unbanned, though. There's already a lot of bitching about rising card prices, and with all the "financiers" nowadays, Jace would become worth twice his weight in gold fairly quickly, meaning people would stop playing the format as a result of this "fix."

[Mcdonalds]

Why wouldn't he, in a format with ten fetches, he becomes even better, and he is already disgustingly good in blue midrange/control
