This blog is about all things Commander and other casual formats for Magic, The Gathering. I will offer up deck lists, new strategies, and try to provide newer players to the game with helpful advice.

Sylvan Primordial Banning

     As many of you are already probably aware, Sylvan Primordial was recently added to the commander ban list. Many people feel as if this was needed and that it was well deserved. Now i can understand where these people are coming from but personally I don 't agree with it at all.
   I feel as if there were several things that deserved to be banned before Sylvan Primordial, such as Omniscience or Consecrated Sphinx. These cards are broken entirely on their own and will win the game if left unchecked. Whereas with Sylvan you need to abuse it a little more to actually break the card. Whether its being reanimated or cloned. Although I will say that an early sylvan can really ruin the game for your opponents. It slows them down dramatically, while it accelerates you ridiculously.
   I am fully aware of how strong of a card that Sylvan is, I just feel that others things are a lot less healthy for the format. As mainly a green mage I can't help but feel like were getting screwed. First Primeval Titan gets banned and now Sylvan, while blue is still allowed to have Omniscience, its ridiculous to me.
