November 1st, 2024 – Bans, Unbans, Trails and cards to watch

Changes to the present banned list, effective 15.11.2024:

Banned:

None.

Unbanned:

None.

Unban Trial:

None.

Explanation:

Following extensive discussions we ultimately decided to leave the banned list in its current states. We do not see any major offenders in the allowed cards and the meta diversity is in a good shape. This can be seen in the various small-scale tournaments (for example FNMs) as well as the larger events that took place this year. Recent events (BBQ Masters Erfurt, Ylämaa III) feature aggro, tempo, midrange, combo and control decks in their top8s and good color diversity. While unban trials were discussed, no consensus was found what would be the best card for an unban trial. We look forward to continued discussion for the next announcement

Cards to watch:

None.

New Council Member: Henri Särkkä (5 for join, 0 against, 2 abstain)

With Henri Särkkä we are sure that we have gained a discussion-loving and committed member who will bring a new perspective to the Council. We warmly welcome Henri Särkkä to the council.
