August 26, 2024 Banned & Restricted Announcement Was Insane! | Magic: The Gathering | #mtg #shorts

The comments would like to let you know frogs are not reptiles . 😅

[jasonkorf]

Apparently Psychic Frog should be banned from all formats for confusing Content Creators on what an amphibian is and what a reptile is, lol.

[Renamawn]

Frog is fine. I'm more worried about boros/mardu energy being the bully of modern... amped raptor putting stuff on the board for free is strong.

[rajamicitrenti]

Grief would have been fine if it's discard effect had an "If this was cast" clause.

[veme]

Parricipating in letting you know frogs are amphibians, not reptiles :)

[darkehowl]

EDH is the only constructed I play...I used to enjoy limited formats but after drafter boosters went away...I'm not really excited to play any magic at this point.

[Aaron-llg]

Ultimately none of this matters. The Commander Master Race has Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast firmly in their clutches.

Idk where that reptile is going but that amphibian is sure to go places!

[AmazingAlec]

I think what really irritated me the most is they admit commander influenced the change to Nadu and subsequent lack of testing…why are you letting commander dictate your modern set. Idc that commander sells, it just helped ruin a pro tour and rcq season.

[sonichujfs]

Wizards admitted that nadu was a mistake with no play tome is probably the truthful thy have been with us lol

[Kyl_ben]

So glad the bird is banned, but as usual the Commander banlist continues to sit on its hands.

So, I was a pro-grief player, I enjoyed the card and understand how much of a pain it can be to play against. I’m curious on why it was banned over the one rings? The one ring is more universally used because it is 4 colorless mana. According to MTGTOP8, Grief was being used in 11800ish decks. Where TOR was in 11900ish decks. It is also harder to get rid of.

I’m just wanting a better understanding of why.

I’m about to start playing Pioneer for the first time and chose Boros Heroic as my deck, happy to see I didn’t get preemptively hit with the Pioneer bans

[Timelord]

You mean to tell me that WOTC actually banned the problem card? And not cards that supported it?

Does that mean Bridge and Altar can be unbanned?

[shaden]

Pshycic frog isn't a reptile it's an amphibian

[nathanorwick]

If it isn't banned, One Ring is going to continue to be a staple. Grief and Nadu getting the axe are unilaterally good decisions and a step in the right direction, but until One Ring is officially banned, I'm still gonna stick to ambivalence

[shadowofseattle]

It's still legal in brawl and I'm still pissedabout that bird

Ban the bird, or rebalanced it to 5 mana

[Obermaster]

No bans for pauper.. some cards might get cheaper for my commander decks tho so thats nice

[walkmanstudios]

I pulled so many retro border psychic frogs now i can sell them lol

[coryheistad]

i am excited to play constructed modern now we can have fun without having grief striping 2 cards in my hand on turn 1
