October 1st Ban List Announcement

General forum

I don't see a thread about this yet, so here we are.

Effective October 1st, Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle is unbanned in Modern! This should be a nice change to the format, as long as it doesn't become too degenerate (which I doubt will happen). Also, for you very few Vintage players, Burning Wish is unrestricted! Thoughts?

ehh I never played burning wish In vintage and never saw it pop up in decks but i'm basing this off of around '05-'06ish knowledge. I however only played 1.x & Legacy as well since I was able to afford most of the cards even those damn $30 ones hah. I was pretty up to date on vintage though and never saw any wish cards outside of cunning wish in T1. Anywho I know times change and a card that wasn't used then might be usable now

Valakut should stir up Modern, especially with Cavern of Souls now. Prime Time becomes an uncounterable double Lightning Bolt. That's serious. Plus, Scapeshift will see play, and with Boseiju, it will just end the game on the spot.

I think it can be dealt with, just not with ease; there is little interaction.

I bought a set of Valakuts for 1.25 each overnight, just to trade for a small profit.

In any event, it's good that Primeval Titan can have a home again. I have to cut a foil one from my EDH deck and it's making me rage.
