First of all:
I dont think we need changes, right now
Ban watchlist:
Back to Basics
Blood Moon
The "i should have a non greedy Mana Base or i will get shut down by these cards" enables 2 Color Decks to find a place in the Format. Do NOT ban this!!!
Demonic Tutor
Few years ago some decks just splashed black to play this card. This days, decks who play DT tend to have black as a "main" color.
His powerlevel scales with the archetyp im playing. So i find it hard to evaluate it format wise. Banning this probably means other "hard to hate/easy to lose" cards will have to go too.
I personaly like playing with and against it: Do not ban this
Dig Through Time/Treasure Cruise
Even though i love to resolve them, the ability to reduce the mana cost for such effects is to powerfull. But removing them both might hurt the blue decks to much. Maybe ban one of them and leave the other around?
Entomb/Imperial Seal
Everyone did know where these would go, and what those card would do for the decks playing them. I was a great a fan of the unban, and sill am.
Mana Drain
If your opponent can curve out with it, it is harder to deal with, than an early Natural Order.
Oath of Druids
Enables a few decktyps (which is good). But the format has enough ways to beat this decks.
Tainted Pact
It's not the card, it's the decks that can play this. Those Decks tend to have the best answers (and questions) of all colors and this card is another way to find them. The unbanning of Imperial Seal make me think, no ban needed. But this should go if either B2B, BloodMoon or DT gets banned.
Tolarian Academy
i'm not to familiar playing against this card. Field of Ruins recently got printed and that's another answer everyone could play. But to be true probably they play Acafdemy the turn the go off. The matches i had agains academy alway where clos, and it did not feel more unfair than the stuff, that other Combo Decks can do.
Yawgmoth's Will
Only few decks play this card, and in this decks this card is very powerful. Still it does not push this cards over the top.
For me, this is a clear Not Ban.
