Back to the topic at hand, I do wonder what red'll do now that Dockside Extortionist is banned.

Would Cavern-Hoard Dragon be a good replacement for Dockside Extortionist?

I don't really care about Nadu

I wish the three others (and Sol Ring!) were never printed. Money aside, there's little reason not to put them in pretty much every deck you can. That's IMO a bigger point against them than the boogieman of fast turns.

Dockside Extortionist was always a broken card. Early on it gives a lot of gas, yes. But mid game you can do a bunch of recursion shenanigans with it, be it cloning or bouncing or flickering or reanimating or probably something else I'm forgetting. And late game you can use one of its nearly four hundred combos to win. And it has a stupid chicken game aspect to it, where one of the best answers to a Dockside is another Dockside (or a clone!), since then you can potentially get double the Treasures or force the original player to sac theirs. And if you're not blue then you probably can't interact with its ETB. And, and, and...

Jeweled Lotus is the weirdest one because IIRC the RC were consulted about it beforehand and gave it the go-ahead.

I feel bad for the people who work at WotC. Since EDH is the most popular format, capitalism pretty much demands that they cater to it. That leaves a decent chunk of their livelihoods at the mercy of the RC, which when you get down to it, is just a small group of customers.

I'm glad Dockside Extortionist got banned

With today's banned and restricted announcement, I have added Dockside Extortionist, Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt, and Nadu, Winged Wisdom to this list, and I shall personally add that I am very glad that I did not spend money on a copy of Mana Crypt, but I do feel sorry for anyone who actually purchased a copy of Jeweled Lotus, since those cards are now worthless.

With a rather sudden banned and restricted announcement today, the rules committee banished Mana Crypt, Jeweled Lotus, Dockside Extortionist, and Nadu from the format.

With Mana Crypt at around $180.00, Jeweled Lotus at around $90.00, and Dockside Extortionist sitting at roughly $50.00, the rules committee banned over $300.00 worth of cardboard in four bullet points.

Commander is a casual format and the banlist can be waived for playgroups who discuss it, but the formal legality of these cards is effectively gone. Many people spent a lot of money on these expensive and powerful cards with the expectation that they could cast them forever. That money is now exorbitantly lost on things effectively unusable.

Should there be ethics around banning cards? Should the rules committee be required to notify the community about what cards they are considering for a ban before doing so? What are your thoughts?

No Mana Crypts or Jeweled Lotuses for anyone! oh, and no Dockside Extortionists as well. I'm an enfranchised player, so I don't like this announcement. I just lost hundreds of dollars in value for each of my decks. Also, it slows down games considerably. When I sit down at a table, I communicate - I tell everyone what i'm running so we can have a collective experience we all want. But when a rules committee comes down from on high and decides to restrict strong and viable pieces that is very worrying. What next? Fetchlands? Original dual lands? Sol Ring? I just want to know when will all of their meddling end? I can understand banning something that is outright format warping like Paradox Engine - but Mana Crypt? It's as though the committee expects the other 3 players at the table are only playing battle cruiser decks with 0 interaction. What's worst though is Jeweled Lotus. Banning the card that was made specifically for Commander and is only a blank card in other formats. That's a very short sighted ban that I don't understand. I have rarely seen Jeweled Lotus in the wild but when I do I don't see it getting used more than once a game. I think the rules committee is blinded by their short sighted vision for commander in that it should be reduced to players stuck in forever long games using decks that have 0 interaction waiting for their battlecruiser to finally be online.

I think this is the ban that will impact people's perceived wallets the most. Quite a few people's investments into Mana Crypt's, Jeweled Lotus's and Dockside Extortionist's will be worth a lot less. Honestly I don't think it's a bad thing. I'm pretty sure the only reason The One Ring isn't banned in modern is Wizards being afraid of pissing people who dropped $100 on a card off, even though it leads towards bad experiences. Good on the rules committee for not being afraid.
