When Should Cards Be Banned?
On September 23rd 2024, the Commander Rules Committee announced Mana Crypt, Jeweled Lotus, Dockside Extortionist, and Nadu, Winged Wisdom are banned in the Commander format. These were some of the most powerful cards in the format, some being playable since the format's inception. This event has divided the community with some calling for the Rules Committee to be dissolved. Join us as we discuss the justification (or lack thereof) for these bans and what we think might be next for the Commander format.
