Comparing it to previous MTG bannings, it seems likely that the beloved monkey Ragavan will be banned in Legacy but not in Modern.Īround 2014, Deathrite Shaman was banned in Magic's Modern format due to having too much late-game power. In a world where it was the only pushed card, it would probably get banned immediately, but the case gets much more complicated when considering the changes to the metagame. At one mana, Ragavan probably couldn’t get much more efficient, but there are also answers like Prismatic Ending and Unholy Heat that do deal with it the turn it’s the most effective. Opposed to the most popular Magic cards of 2020 being older staples, these new MTG cards were released in June 2021 and have changed both Modern and Legacy dramatically.

Perhaps, but the situation becomes a bit more confusing than that given Modern Horizons 2 as a whole only came out less than a year ago. Now that newly-printed cards can be pushed past Standard’s power level, longtime players are having to overhaul their decks and spend more than ever to keep up with the constant flux of what’s tier one. In the past, the Legacy and Modern metagames changed more naturally and at a slower pace. Each non-Standard MTG set seems to radically shake up older formats and causing decks to be prohibitively powerful and expensive. Recently, Wizards of the Coast has been criticized for the number of sets it’s been releasing the past few years.
