This card was key at every stage of the game, as it provided major converted mana cost discounts on already cheap-to-cast cards like Eldrazi Mimic. WotC announced today that one of the most important cards in the Eldrazi deck, Eye of Ugin, was to be banned from Modern. Today though, the reign of the Eldrazi decks may be over.
Reactions to the Banned and Restricted have been mixed in the past, especially for the recent bannings of Splinter Twin and Summer Bloom, which WotC say they did to “ in the interest of competitive diversity” – a somewhat humorous statement in retrospect, after devastation that the Eldrazi decks did in not only the Modern format, but in Legacy as well. Changes to this list can really wreck a player’s day – sometimes the bans are minor, like the banning of Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time in Modern and Legacy, and their restriction in Vintage other times the bans are absolutely crippling to certain decks, rendering them completely unplayable, such as the case with Birthing Pod, Splinter Twin, and Summer Bloom. With every new Magic: The Gathering (MtG) set released by Wizards of the Coast (WotC), there also comes changes to its Banned and Restricted list, which governs the cards one cannot play in formats like Modern, Legacy, and Vintage.
