I mean I think I agree with you that people are overreacting about the particular cards being discussed. If someone shows up with a Tegen deck I would welcome them to the table the same way I would anyone else. And actually, I think the card design and the artwork on the cards are pretty cool.
My playgroup doesn't use a banned list at all. But we're all friends, so we make an effort to be courteous. We try to match power levels. If someone asks "No counters" or "No infinite combos" for a game or two, we will just go along with it.
This. As long as you can communicate among members of your playgroup it makes the game not need a ban list at all. Most people I've played with even outside my play group will announce ahead of time if they have some sort of truly perverse deck that's going to leave you traumatized for life. Like a deck that goes infinite with release the ants on turn one or two - and no one is banning release the ants.

They're cool cards - there I said it.
It's the model that flips me out.
