Hey fam!

Sooo announcement! A few friends and I are starting an online tournament series. If you wanna join the server, you’ll get updates as they come! Super excited about this project and all the work that has gone into it.

These bans are gonna ruin the tour.

[Higher 🐟🐟Fishbowl VII @HigherMTG]

Is this a new CEDH RC? No.
Is this a way to begin bringing folks from around the world together to play a game we all love? Yes.
Is this also a way to learn how to play cedh? Yes.
Want to add input? WE WANT IT.

We want you to add your work, your decklists, add comments about your meta. Something I've always wanted to know was the meta in areas vastly under represented. What are they cooking in new Zealand? Or Botswana? Or Morocco? What does cedh look like in iceland?

This is about the collective. You can be apart of that.

Maaaan. If the cEDH RC would have been announced now, there would have be ASTOUNDING support.

Unfortunately timing for everything cEDH in the past month

IMHO CEDH should completely ignore this new ban from the RC issued today. Play with the banlist as it existed Sept 22nd. And begin working as a community towards a carefully crafted CEDH RC of sorts. We don't need to rush this. But, NOW I believe we are forced to break off.

The actual real winner today is the MTG shitposter.

[Tolarian Community College @TolarianCollege]

There's a lot of Magic players who aren't on social media who are very excited for how low they were able to snap up a Jeweled Lotus for this morning.

[MTG Insider @themtginsider]

Our Recommendation to the @mtgcommander rules committee after today's banning:

There are massive financial implications for players who spent time and money saving or trading for Commander chase rares. Today's ban, whether good or bad for the format, has had serious impacts on players' wallets.

This ban comes just a year after MTG marketed Jeweled Lotus as the premier chase rare of Commander Masters
Not only that, Mana Crypt was a chase showcase rare of Ixalan only a year ago, with multiple versions and treatments that were highly collectible.

Today, tens of thousands of MTG players, and LGS, woke up to find their chase rare cards have lost 50-75% of its value. There was no warning that this banning was imminent. Players were buying Jeweled Lotus at full price only a week ago, without the chance to ever play them. Now, the card does literally nothing.

We are reading stories of MTG players devastated that their collections have lost a massive amount of value.
Ouch, imagine you were the above player?

MTG players deserve more communication prior to bans of this level of financial impact. These bans should not come as a surprise.

My recommendation to the Commander Rules Committee is as follows:

1. Given that the Rules Committee has stated that these bans are not snap decisions, and are given plenty of time for due process, players should be informed ahead of time when a card is subject to ban discussion. This gives players a chance to rethink their $100 purchases of cards that could be banned soon. It also notifies all players at the same time that a card is under ban consideration. The period between when a card is up for "ban discussion" and then "banned" shouldn't be where the MTG community is in the dark, and potentially blowing money on things like Commander Masters Collector boxes or Neon Foil Ink Mana Crypts a week before they are banned.
2. During the above period, players should have time to submit input on why or why not they would like a card banned. Don't limit the majority of a decision to a handful of select people. The MTG Commander community is wide and diverse, and more people should be given the chance to input, especially when they are investing their time and money into the cards that may get banned.
3. We need a restated set of guidelines or expectations around what else could be banned. Are tutors safe from bans? Are fast mana lands like Gaea's Cradle or Ancient Tomb safe from bans? Why should a player today go out and buy an expensive powerful card, if it could be banned out of the blue?

Today's decision to ban premier chase cards may have been discussed for years and were carefully thought out, but from the perspective of players who are buying and playing with these cards, it appears rash and thoughtless in consideration. Could Gaea's Cradle be banned tomorrow? Who knows? At least a more careful and transparant process can bring greater confidence to players. The reaction from the MTG community today is clear that something more is needed.
