Eggs is a pretty ridiculous deck, but I find it way too fragile right now to make a ban for something in it necessary.
No but when rounds are lasting 20 min+ after their 5 turns it gets a little silly. Eggs only needs one turn so they can wait til the last possible second then combo forever.

I guess that's true, someone brought it to a FNM I was at one night and that happened. The guy running the tournament flipped out and told him not to bring that deck again.
I think Mental misstep would be interesting, given that there is less of a emphasis on CMC1 spells in modern I don't think it would be completely degenerate, but the fact that it would still be an auto 4-of in every deck is not really indicative of a healthy format.
And holy viewers batman, 105 looking at this thread O.o
I was thinking about the whole healthy format thing as an argument against Misstep. The thing is, its a 4 of auto include in legacy and modern. Since legacy is suppose to be a faster format, I don't look for it to ever come off there. That said, for modern, where slower decks are suppose to rein, I think just the possibility of someone playing it could alter the format. Is that good or bad, I have know idea, but its an interesting thought.

We already know Goyf is in MM and only cards not on the ban list legal in Modern will be in MM. Many factors are going ot weigh on the decision of what gets banned or not. MM, PTQ season, whats coming up in Dragon Maze. Some people are asking for some real over the top bans.
Can we stop with the MM unban comments it won't slow the meta down it will just turn into whoever has more MM in their opener wins just like it was before.

This isn't legacy where all my opponent's important spells have a CMC of 1.
Decks like Burn are going to care about misstep?

What's the big deal? You could have played multiple Righteous Avengers for years now.
MM's target 9/10 times will be an inquisition or thoughtseize. This will make decks such as Twin and Storm much stronger. I don't think WoTC wants combo to get "free" protection spells.

This has been said, but they would rather want to play Lingering Souls
