Legality of Goblin Warchief in Modern

Modern Deck Help forum

Posted on April 25, 2017, 2:29 p.m. by Lenacius

I usually play with the Goblin Warchief in my actual deck, but when I looked at the legality of my deck here (on TappedOut), it was not legal because of warchief and other minor cards.I was looking in the official Ban List published by the Wizards and he wasn't there... I want to know why he is banned here and not on the Wizards's ban list?

It has not had a printing in a modern legal set. So it can not be played in modern. It needs to be printed in a standard legal set since 8th edition. and it has not been.

Card is too old for Modern. You can tell by the border on the original printing.

The banlist for modern includes cards that are from a modern-legal sets, but which are banned from use. Cards from set made earlier than 8th/mirrodin are automatically excluded, and therefore not on the list.
