Welcome to Gaia! ::

What do you guys think will be banned come March 1st?
Ravager is getting the axe, but what? I think the artifact lands should go in T2, why? You get rid of disciple the deck is still gas, you hit ravager, it goes back to broodstar affinity, or just uses Tog, hit plating and the deck just adds shrapnel blast or something.........

On the other hand, Affinity being just that tiny bit slower would make all the difference for my rogue equipment deck, which can't quite reliably handle it otherwise...

ARE U ******** RETARDED!!!!!

BAN ALL OF MIRRODIN BLOCK..

i don't think thats plausible....poop.

there is no way to stop affinity. there are just too many cards.

but the things is, if you weaken affinity too much, you open KCI to be the best deck, it's matchups are amazing vs the field, with it having a tough time vs affinity, you get rid of ravenger, or any other card to weak affinity without hitting cards in KCI, you have the same problem, just a diffrent deck :-/

3nodding Good ridance. I'd be happy with just banning Ravager, Disciple of the Vault, and Cranial Plating...But....Plating is probably going to end up staying. Sucks....lol

Cranial Extraction is sideboard material, mostly. And yes, I know about all the marvelous combo hate it brings. Mutilate brought black its own Wrath of God, but all it really saw was BU control. Nightmares were fun (with the exception of L's Champion, who was BEAST) and that was that. Psychatog was only half black. Nantuko Shade was the best black out of Odessey, IMO. What did Onslaught get? LOTS of fun zombies and clerics but nothing competitive. Patriarch's Bidding is freakin' awesome, but saw it's major play with Goblins.

Maybe I'm just longing for the good old days I wasn't around for. Sorry, guys.

DotV is going, so is Cranial Platting, these are the cards that create the biggest problem, they win fast, DotV makes the win go twice as fast, there gone get over it.

Aether Vial isn't going anywhere, it actually slows the deck down, and prepares it for the long games, but with the core cards of raffinity gone its not as good.

Arcbound Ravager is not banned its just a nice card nothing more nothing less.

Artifact lands are not going anywhere, they are really good, but not good enough for bannings, but I wouldn't be suprised to see them go, I can guarantee that you will not see a land cycle like this again.

And I have heard this thrown around, about cards like Shrapnel Blast, Eternal Witness, and various other good cards being banned, there not, deal with it.
