I don't know much about Commander, but I do see a Sol Ring in every deck. Being a staple in Commander and Brawl being Standard Commander, do you think Sol Ring'll get printed in a Standard set?

There's a better chance of power 9 being reprinted in a masters set than a standard sol ring reprint. And that's supposed to be impossible.

Sol Ring is bad enough in EDH proper.

They will never print Sol Ring in any set that's standard legal (apart from the inventions) It's way too powerfull if any deck could play four of them and it would end up being banned in standard in modern in no time. EG: Your opponent plays turn one Sol Ring, you dont have one in hand and dont draw one. Your opponent is up 2 mana at this point. If your opponent has two in hand plus a spell or two they can cast you are screwed.

In commander turn one Sol Ring can be hard to keep up with. And that's a highlander format. The problem is that it's ramp. For the little cost of 1.

I definitely think Sol Ring will be printed in standard. I can't see any problems with 4xSol Ring in every deck. I mean how busted could it be?

April Fools Day is tomorrow. Your post is early. Unless you're from the future!

And on the slight chance you're serious, not a chance. It's quite possibly the most powerful card ever printed. It ain't coming to standard.

Between this and the ancestral/time walk thread a week or two ago, there seems to be an increase in the number of people in commander who don't understand how broken these old cards are.

WotC is nervous to reprint rampant growth in standard. That should give you an idea of how likely sol ring is.

If any card in standard other than a basic land was as popular as Sol Ring is in multiplayer Commander, it would be banned, no question. It's in 78% of the decks on edhrec. Wizards tends to ban a card in any competitive format if that card becomes an auto-include in most decks. That's why Smuggler's Copter was banned in Standard. You started to see it in everything. Sol Ring is banned in French Duel Commander. I'm not even sure why Sol Ring is legal in multiplayer Commander. I guess because the rationale for the ban list is based on what is and isn't fun for everyone at the table?

I would have said that there was more chance of Sol Ring coming back before Trump being elected President. I do know that Sol Ring would single highhandedly kill Magic, so it is never coming back in Standard.

No, and that is a good thing, EDH Proper already has an issue with there being a few "must have" cards in every deck.

I love Sol Ring to death, and have an Unlimited One I have had in my Scion deck since Commander first became a thing, but It getting banned in Commander is something I would not lose any tears over.
