BANNED! Both cards will be banned from the Standard format effective July1 1st!

Finally, what shuts me down every tournament, a Stonforge dropping a Batterskull on my face turn 3 are now over.

I don't have to worry about Jace controlling hat i'm gonna have in life.

I'm so happy about this beautiful day.

Jace never really bothered me (probably because hes in every deck i own that runs blue, so its really jsut a race to see who gets theirs first lol)
but im stoked about stoneforge mystic being banned. tired of seeing 8 Cawblades to every 9 decks at a tournament.

Noone ran black discard or red damage? WIth Bolt being replaced by Shock, something needed to be done about the Sculptor. Just discard or counter any threats to said Sculptor. Personally, Id be running green with Mold Shambler and Beast Within. Perhaps I could Summoning Trap my Terastodon, kek kek ;)

Just counter the Sculptor if you run blue, Exclusion Ritual is good in white, or just keep playing aggro creatures to make Jace continuously use up its counters.

It's not the individual cards that caused the problem. It was both of them together in the same deck that created the problem. At any rate all this means is I can kick my torpor orbs for 2 more black sun's zenith and call it a day.

Look, It may be a bummer that stoneforge dies on the 1st (Standard-wise anyway.) and trying to cope with it by saying she only hit's banned on the 29th doesn't help. But look on the brightside. She will still be a powerhouse and no less playable in casual match-ups. I personally only ran her in my EDH Deck featuring Khemba as a general. Stoneforge was a good card, too good. So don't be bummed, instead be happy you own a card so powerful she hit the banned list. The same to you Jace the mind sculptor folks. These two are going down in MTG history alongside affinity (Hell they've seen more play than affinity according to the reports.) as cards so powerful they had to be banned. And sure you've paid a lot of money for both, but now it's more meaningful, because now you own a piece of MTG history.

@dyingjester

sorry? XD ..
i just hated not being able to play competitively...
i had a really good white lifegain, and a really good R/G tokens deck...
but the only reason i couldnt play it in tournaments was because i couldnt stand up to jace or stoneforge...

and yeah,

you guys hear about "modern format" ...?
its like, the original mirrodin set and up.

its supposed to act like a legacy "replacement" since legacy is so expensive...

jace and stoneforge are gonna be used alot in it...

@Morbid

I know how you feel Morbid, but there are people who really wanted to win who saved up paycheck after paycheck for the cards they would need to compete in the environment only to find out they wasted so much money.

I didn't mean it in a very serious tone, though, so please don't take offense. I just wanted to make sure the people who spent money on it will feel a little bit better about losing their shot at a tournament victory.

i get that,
but the fact that its so expensive to be competitive makes it hard for the people who dont have much money to play... :S
