Quote from Ghesboro »Quote from WarMachinePrime »Oko and OUAT got the ban in Standard. Will we see the same in Pioneer later today? On my personal list I'd like to see Field of the Dead get the axe as well. I agree, FOTD is a cancer.

This is your interpretation of the card, not reality.
Quote from BlazingRagnarok »Quote from WarMachinePrime »Weird that they ban an answer instead of a threat. I want heavy bans in Pioneer. Yes I'm weird. But they need to ban problematic threat cards not problematic answer cards. I'd love to see the following bans. Arclight Phoenix Supreme Verdict Teferi, Time Raveler Once Upon a Time Dig Through Time Treasure Cruise Thoughtseize Yep, I know weird picks. But this format is quickly pricing me out of it. Odd that you'd criticize the banning of non-threats and proceed to put Supreme Verdict and Thoughtseize on your personal ban-wishlist. Targeted discard and powerful sweepers are far more important to maintaining a healthy format than any protective spell. Actually, I'd argue that Veil of Summer isn't really an answer at all, at least not in the classical sense of the two cards I mentioned above. If I were to set definitions for threats as cards that win games and answers as cards that stop threats (the two are obviously not mutually exclusive), then protective spells are more threat than answer precisely because they exist primarily to stop answers. Modern Infect sure as heck doesn't run Vines of Vastwood to stop threats, and neither do decks that run Veil. I mean, how many times in pioneer has Veil been cast to stop an actual threat instead of an answer?

Quote from metalmusic_4 »Quote from jwf239 »I think the watch list for Monday is felidar guardian, smuggler's copter, teferi, time raveler, treasure cruise, dig through time, and oko, thief of crowns. If anything other than something on this list is banned I would be surprised. I agree with this list, these are certainly the cards to watch. Not all of these will end up banned, certainly not all on this Monday, but I think the most likely cards to be banned 4 Nov are felidar gaurdian and smuggler's copter, Possibly teferi and oko too, but we'll see. I've seen some talk of oath of nissa as a card to watch too.
