I still don't really think it interacting badly makes that much sense considering much cheaper, less color intensive combos are that card + commander and serveral of those commanders are less bad than the 5 color options. Even if a card is banned, I still think it's much more sensible to work in the same direction as banning a card, though. There should be good reason it would be banned if it were printed recently too. Assuming Coalition Victory were just printed in, say Eldritch Moon, would people be playing it and wrecking games bad enough we'd be talking about it now? I could see people freaking about it in the beginning like Blightsteel, but I doubt we'd hear much about it after it released. Seriously, graveyard hate has gotten better was good enough for Kokusho and Diamond, Staff, and Dragon came off because combo isn't policed anymore. It's a bad card almost no one would even play seems like it should apply to Coalition Victory, Worldfire and Sway. Of course, from what I saw, Worldfire was only banned because of its similarity to sway and I never actually heard or saw anyone play either card even one time before they were banned. It's like they're example bans, but no one actually wants to play them anyway. It's kind of silly to ban cards based on theorycrafting. Does anyone actually have a single story about any of the three cards in an actual game? At least with Emrakul, Gifts, Hulk, or Servant, people could try and argue that they don't want to play against the card. In this thread we're talking about a hypotheticals about a card I've never heard mentioned other than in discussions about removing it from the list.
