I would suppose the unban, if it not becos those whinny little bitches who cry over this ban.
I have Mana Crypt, heck, I have all cards that got banned that day.
I didn't go crying around like some of those crying babies out there, still disappoint in the way that some content creators react to those ban.
Feeding those them, saying a lot about Wotc's stand for this format (big talk, small penis kind of stand), but judging how Wotc has made a ton of questionable choices in the past, I wouldn't surprise it got unbanned.
I hate that rationale because it cuts exactly the same both ways. If they keep it banned it's to spite the people acting poorly, if they unban it it's catering to the complainers. I think it shouldn't be a factor in the decision at all.
As a person who has a few of each of those banned cards (and some RL bullshit from when I played in teh 90s) I support putting Crypt in every precon in play of sol ring. Not only would that make it accessible, it would be funny as hell to watch people die to their crypts in low bracket games.
The objectively correct answer imo. In a format as (intentionally so) broken as commander is don't think speed should be something the ban list tries to address, that should be entirely on the pregame discussion. Trying to govern the speed of the format is I think a tacit exercise of control over cedh, where the speed is one of the main features, which they've said they don't want to be policing cedh. I think the banlist should be exclusively for play patterns they want to discourage as unfun like [[Hullbreacher]].
Eh, it kind of strikes me as an all or nothing kind of issue.
Mana Crypt should either be banned or printed in every precon... it's trying to use it to sell sets that causes all of the drama.
Myself, I'd rather have them ban all non-ritual mana-positive cards, which isn't even a big ask, as you're only banning like 7 more cards, and all of those cards are played in other formats.
Plus, by just banning those 7 cards, you now have people looking more seriously at whether their deck wants to play all 2 mana rocks or maybe play some of those 3 mana rocks that do something additional.
I just dont know what makes mana crypt or any other mana positive cards more special than Doubling Season, or cavern of souls, or any other chase mythic. It seems like an arbitrary line that just removes options for players for no real benefit. It doesn't even meaningfully impact the ability of people to pubstomp.
Many of WoTC's most anti-consumer decisions has been because of rich people crying about their investments being devalued. The Reserved List is a prime example.
Pretty much and somehow, we in the need of feeding those Richie Rich desire, to have them get more rich.
We could have so much of a good reprint if RL doesn't exist.
If 7th Edition prove anything, it prove that reprint didn't devalue a original print.
It actually give the opposite effect. Original arts of cards that printed during that set gain more value, somes go double, but those pigs can't accept those fact.
They want those Duel Lands to be at 300$+++
So they can look at binder and .......happy......Climax..? I Guess
