So today it was announced that Lion's Eye Diamond is unbanned in multiplayer Commander. What is its fate for 1v1? All the best mana rocks are banned, but is this fixed Black Lotus fixed enough to remain unbanned or will it get the axe ASAP? Specifically, I would like to know the opinions of the French 1v1 list curators.

What would you use LED in? I know the Bomber man combo from Legacy, but besides that, what else?
I really like the timing on this, with WGD being un-banned last go around and with a new set coming out that should feature at least a few new toys for grave yard based decks LED could be pretty crazy good for certain decks, especially as noted commanders who love the yard like Sharuum.
Personally I think this is a very good thing as it should hopefully help a few decks get a bit closer to being really good without instantly ruining the format in any way. I know I am excited to try and stuff this into a few lists.
I'm unbelievably excited for LED in FFA Commander. My Damia deck is all about dredging and reanimating and such and this gives it a lot of added explosiveness.
I'm more concerned than excited for it in 1v1 though. It's is unequivocally explosive and has potential to be an unhealthy influence on the format as a whole.
Doesn't at least one of the French Ban list proprietors hang around Salvation? I'd just really like to get a straight answer/response from them. A yes, a no, or a "We are contemplating its future," would suffice.

Also I toyed around with it in a Sharuum build when we were experimenting with Legacy EDH as a way to cheat out Sharuum + a Fatty quickly.

Sharuum would be the first thing that comes to mind.
