Creature — Goblin Pirate

When this enters, create X Treasure tokens, where X is the number of artifacts and enchantments your opponents control. (Treasure tokens are artifacts with ", Sacrifice this artifact: Gain one mana of any colour.")

they should unban Dockside Extortionist. what other format are people gonna play it in? the mana is temporary and its only a big boost in the late game. any deck with green can have permanent ramp early on.

unban emrakul. if someone can get to 15 mana, they've earned the win and the game has probably dragged on long enough at that point.

Golos, Tireless Pilgrim: unban it. you need some way of manipulating the top of your library to even justify the 7 mana it's effect needs, as well as multiple forms of color fixing ramp and/or dual lands. if someone can do all that and nobody is using removal on their ramp, they've earned the win.

Sylvan Primordial: unban. so you go from 7 mana to 10. 7 is already enough to cast most spells, and green has more mana ramp anyway.

Trade Secrets: unban it. letting an opponent draw 2 so you can draw 4 seems fair.

theNeroTurtle I think that Red has a bit more going for it than just that. I would chuck multiple combat steps under the "damage amplification" umbrella alongside effects like Torbran, Thane of Red Fell and Fiery Emancipation.

Over the past couple of years Red has received more cards that ping opponents when a creature enters, making goblin spam more deadly.

Red is also the primary colour for Goad effects, which gives it an interesting control angle that it can play.

The banning of Dockside Extortionist was a real blow to Red though.

You might want to pull the banned cards.

(As I type this, Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt, and Dockside Extortionist are all banned in Commander) ...

legendofa on Commander bans, a year later

In a few days, it will be one year since Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt, and Dockside Extortionist were banned in Commander. I'm not here to discuss the immediate results of that, I think I made my feelings clear when it happened. But I do want to put a couple thoughts out there, now that some time has passed.

First, and more specifically, some content creators were theorizing that WotC would immediately unban these cards, or print something at or even above their power and efficiency level. I think it's safe to say that that didn't happen. Have those creators revisited this topic at all? I don't really follow a lot of this sort of content, so I'm interested in hearing their thoughts now.

Second, and more generally, have you and your group adapted, stopped playing, or just ignored the bans? In the spirit of EDH, I'm going to say that all of these are valid responses, as long as it makes the most fun for you and doesn't hurt anyone else's experience. Or did the bans just not affect you and nothing changed for you? Any other thoughts?

TheoryCrafter I can see a Bracket 6 that basically acts as the banlist/anything goes area, but some of the stuff on the banlist makes Dockside Extortionist and Jeweled Lotus look like Strike it Rich and Chromatic Star. Even in the rarefied airs of Bracket 5, what would happen?

Usual disclaimer that I don't cEDH at all, but something like Oloro + Lotus + Lurrus (even in the 99--tutors ahoy!), or Temur Tolarian Moxen 'n' Treasures into copy-spammed Tinker and Upheaval with a side of Fastbond, sounds eye-rendingly miserable to my Bracket-3-or-less-dwelling carcass.

greyninja on Animar enthusiasts!

Last night the three new cards that I put into my Animar deck were:

I took out Elvish Visionary and finallyy took out two banned cards Mana Crypt and Dockside Extortionist which feels bad.

I figure that Elvish Visionary is trying to find cards like Shocking Sharpshooter anyway so I might as well run that in its place, and Outcaster Trailblazer can pay for itself once you're in a Cloudstone Curio or Hullbreaker Horror loop with Animar, Soul of Elements in play
