well, lingering souls is by and far the best card out of DKA, and another card that makes the best card better at a cheap price is also worthy of being banned.

I speak in sarcasm because calling people ******* ******** is not allowed.
I'm glad there weren't any Modern changes. The format is actually healthy for the first time since its creation so it's nice to actually get to keep the status quo this time.
Just sold all my Sorins on MTGO since this will obviously affect his price dramatically now that his main use is gone. I feel bad for anyone who isn't aware of the announcement and buys any Sorins tonight.
When used together, they can be pretty devastating. Don't mind me, I'm just paying 5 mana for 4 2/2 vigilant flyers.
I understand banning one, but I don't get why they had to ban both. There must be something in Avacyn Restored that really takes advantage of the 2.

Probably a good idea. Lingering Souls is probably one of the 5 most powerful cards of the past 10 years. It's on the same power level as Stoneforge, Jace, and Bloodbraid Elf.

They might be trying to play it safe. If they only banned one, the other could've still been grossly problematic.

I don't think so. Souls didn't see as much standard play as either of the other cards.

It did, however, immediately show up in a GP-winning Legacy deck. It's the best card in its set- it's just a bit oddly positioned in Standard right now.
Well that deck is still pretty damn strong in Block Constructed; Gather, Doomsayer, Midnight Haunting, Hellrider... Boros Tokens can still be disgusting.

I once farted during the final match for prizes at an FNM. It was a tense moment, everything was quiet, control vs control, I was about to mana leak, thought about it.. and farted. Then mana leaked.
Just wanted to say that I don't think that they are banning IV and Lingering Souls to kill token builds. The intent is not to cripple decks, but to encourage innovation.

If the store owner says that I can't trade in the premises, I'll just go outside. If he says that I can't trade within 10m of his premises, I'll go to 11 meters. If he says that he doesn't want to see me trading, I will put a basket over his head and continue trading.
Yes, he's a local legend. He's only known to take his clothes off before he goes into the Ladies' Lockerroom. Nobody knows what he does in there because he's invisible, but it's almost certainly tons of masturbating.

ridiculous, no standard top 8 will feature 30 copies of lingering souls, you can quote me on this.

We'll see. 16 copies in top 8 last weekend of SCG: Sacramento. The card is getting jammed into control, aggro, and combo decks. I think it's safe to say it's pretty absurd.

Pop quiz: What is the other enchantment to have been banned from block constructed?
What are the other two sorceries to have been banned from block constructed?
I don't think so. Souls didn't see as much standard play as either of the other cards.

This might be one of the dumbest comments I've read in a long time.
Souls just came out..of course it wouldn't see as much Standard play.
UB UB control (bad, but at least I crush control)

Squandered Resources is the enchantment, Time Spiral and Windfall are the sorceries. What do I win??
No shake ups in other formats is interesting. I slightly expected one in Legacy, at minimum an unbanning.
This effects no one but the MTGO crowd so i'll post it there too.

BG Garruk should be fine as well.
Every blue deck is still is garbage.
Guess this means that AVR doesn't have the correct answers for tokens. The banning is probably to prevent PT: Tokens.
