I'll just say it, hooray! Adding stickers/attractions to black border was a mistake and WotC finally realized this and took the nuclear option.

Glad to see a hit to Affinity in Pauper but it'll just shift to another version like usual

Yeah, there's been an Affinity deck in Pauper for as long as the format has existed. I have no concerns that banning All That Glitters, a relatively recent addition, might change that.

Very good bans here

So are Attractions banned in Commander or just Brawl? Gatherer says no; the article is unclear.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There are no Attractions legal in Brawl since it never got Unfinity. They're still legal in Commander, they were only banned in competitive 60 card formats

Given how much of a glass cannon a Myra deck is in Commander, I don’t think it needs a ban. I think mine is like at 25% win rate.

@thesmokingman @MysticKetchup The ban is for logistical reasons. They were never a good idea for tournaments.
