December 2003 DCI Banned/Restricted Announcement Announcement Date: December 1, 2003 Effective Date: January 1, 2004 Standard No changes Extended Ancient Tomb is banned Goblin Recruiter is banned Grim Monolith is banned Hermit Druid is banned Oath of Druids is banned Tinker is banned Type 1 Burning Wish is restricted Chrome Mox is restricted Lion’s Eye Diamond is restricted Type 1.5 (All cards on the Type 1 Banned and Restricted Lists are banned in Type 1.5.) Burning Wish is banned Chrome Mox is banned Lion’s Eye Diamond is banned Here is an explanation of the changes from Magic R&D: Extended Bannings Ancient Tomb Years of watching constructed metagames evolve has taught us that efficient ways to generate fast mana are always a problem. Ancient Tomb simply adds too much speed to the environment. Goblin Recruiter Goblin Recruiter’s ability to stack an arbitrarily large portion of your deck allows goblin-based combo decks to kill as early as turn 2. That’s too fast for a healthy environment and the Recruiter is one of several casualties of our effort to eliminate realistic turn 2 kills from the environment. Grim Monolith Grim Monolith has to go for essentially the same reasons as Ancient Tomb. Things happen too quickly when the available mana acceleration cards are this good. Hermit Druid The current crop of reanimator decks are winning the game by turn 2 and they all depend on dumping their entire library into the graveyard with Hermit Druid. The Druid simply does too much, too fast. Oath of Druids In our effort to make sure games last more than two or three turns, we felt we needed to get rid of Oath of Druids in addition to fast mana and combo enabling cards. Oath of Druids effectively ends the game on turn 2 against almost all creature decks, making it essentially impossible to have a healthy environment as long as this card is legal. Tinker Tinker is both a tutor and a mana accelerator, so we’ve been worried about it for years. The recent release of Mirrodin added many powerful artifacts to the environment and put Tinker decks over the top (as evidenced by Pro Tour New Orleans). Type 1 Restrictions Burning Wish Most “tutors” are restricted in Type 1 because it defeats the purpose of restricting a card if you can play four copies of an efficient way to go get it. Since the most powerful cards in Type 1 are sorceries (Yawgmoth’s Will, Timetwister, Balance, Mind Twist, etc.) it was possible to play the equivalent of four copies of any one of these simple by moving it into your sideboard. Interestingly, Cunning Wish was left off the restricted list because the one extra mana combined with the fact that Type 1 has less powerful instants than sorceries means it does not appear to be a problem. Chrome Mox Time has shown that fast mana is even more powerful in Type 1 than in other formats. Lion’s Eye Diamond Some fast mana cards are easier to abuse than others, but recent advances in deck design have shown that even the drawback on Lion’s Eye Diamond isn’t severe enough to balance a zero-mana artifact that gives you three mana. For a more in-depth explanation of the reasons behind these bannings and restrictions, tune in to Randy Buehler’s “Latest Developments” column on magicthegathering.com this Friday (December 5th). Voila le lien j'espere que ca va marcher Il fallait un peu s'en douter vue le recent pro tour etendu

pour le tinker c'est pas une surprise. la limitation du chrome mox en type 1, non plus pour le reste c'est assez logique. la limitation du diamant de l'oeil du lion me surprend, une combo a du m'echaper avec cette carte je mets le lien de la source.

la limitation du diamant de l'oeil du lion me surprend, une combo a du m'echaper avec cette carte Avec n'importe quel draw7 ca devient un black lotus, mais à part ca c'est pas très puissant ........

mouf et Lyon4 : LED, c' est limite tout simplement parce que c' est trop puissant (imagine cette carte dans madness T.1 et surtout dans un long.dec ) !!! En plus, c' est tres puissant avec une aubaine, une roue de la fortune ou bien avec un time twister !!! Ps : arreter un peu de dire que c' est un black rate parce qu' elle ouvre beaucoup d' autre possibilite ... Voila !!!

j'avais pas pensé que ct combo avec les jeux folie. mais ca reste un black raté

pour information, la base de cartes du site a été Mise a jours a propos des limitations de Janvier 2004
