Banlist Update November 15 2024

 Hello Tiny Players!

MTG foundations releases today which means it's time for another B&R check in! Forth Eorlingas! is banned Ajani, Nacatl Pariah is Banned as Commander only White Plume Adventurer is Watchlisted Flawless Maneuver is Watchlisted Forth is an extremely powerful card which can often win a game by itself. Not only does it very efficiently create stats on board, it also comes with the powerful Monarch ability (a mechanic we have previously banned in Court of Cunning) Forth was watchlisted in a previous B&R update because we were hearing/seeing problems from the card, but not seeing them in a density that we were worried about. It seems like our players took this message as a challenge. Since then the card’s popularity spiked and has resulted in a somewhat homogenous meta of RW decks (... again). Combined with new pieces of power from MH3, it was finally time to take action against the RW “I win” button card. Speaking of RW Modern Horizons 3 cards: Ajani. Everyone's favourite kitty cat has been making big splashes in competitive metagames across formats and has proved to be a powerful card indeed. His aggressive statline and easy flip-condition make him a strong candidate for decks built around abusing it. Combined with the overall dominance of the RW deck we feel confident taking action against him. While strong, Ajani’s abilities are not actually incredibly broken once taken out of their build-around, so we feel fine leaving a powerful card available in the 49.
