Ather Vial needs to be banned as well in my opinion, it is very under costed for it's ability, esp in 1.x

It's nice in some situations, but really tell me how good it is for you when you only have one card in your hand on turn 7 and six mana. It's conveniant for me only if I have better things to spend my mana on, which for my decks in the long run doesn't mean too much.

Pre-Mirrodin was never focused on artifacts, and the Mirrodin block was obviously artifacts moment in the sun(all five of them suns at that). I say they can cramp affinity to a point where it no longer dominates, but I would still appreciate leaving enough of it to say that it still can be a useful deck in a tournament. Not a powerhouse, but still a capable deck...

Anyone notice that Darksteel has a card banned in every format?

Standard: Arcbound Ravager & Darksteel Citadel (and Skullclamp)
Extended: Skullclamp
Type 1: Trinisphere

I think it qualifies for the first "WTF was the FFL thinking" award since Urza's Destiny!

Nah, that's not the big thing. If multiple cards had been taken out of multiple formats each, then it would've been that bad. As is, it's just a "You should have tested those a little more thuroughly." However, your post inspired a rather funny mental image...

Skullclamp: "It sucks. Let's make it insanely broken and not test it." *ALERT! ALERT!*

Trinisphere: "Well, if it hits too early, it's game, so we should make it cost just within range of the fifth most commonly played nonbasic land in Type I!" *ALERT! ALERT!*

Ravager: "Eh, it's really strong with those modular creatures, but other than this one, they all cost too much, so it shouldn't be too powerful..." *ALERT! ALERT!*

Darksteel Citadel: "Let's make ANOTHER artifact land!" *ALERT! ALERT!*
