What will be banned? Maybe we will see unbans?
I play only Explorer, so I hope for [[Karn, the Great Creator]] ban. Without wishboard MonoG will need to have answers in maindeck, so [[Storm the Festival]] won’t be as consistent as now. Midrange deck, that have combo-finisher ( with [[Pestilent Cauldron]] ) and can loop [[The Stone Brain]], seems too strong right now.
About unbans. I don’t know about 2 cards:
- [[Nexus of Fate]]
- [[Leyline of Abundance]]
Will they break current Pioneer? The rest can’t be unbanned.
Nexus of fate can absolutely not come off of the ban list, it’s a miserable card now as much as it was back then. Leyline of abundance is also not really unbannable I think. The Crew3 podcast did a nice rundown on which cards they’d like to see banned in explorer/pioneer, and which cards they think can be unbanned. I’m personally hoping for a Karn and Fable ban in pioneer and explorer.
