Cards I wouldn’t unban: Eye of Ugin, Gitaxian Probe, Mental Misstep, Nadu, Mox Opal I like the idea of unbanning the rest with an expectation that things will get banned again. Would also be fine with any portion of the graveyard stuff staying banned

Is Splinter Twin a playable card in Modern? (Will it 5-0 a league in February—for the purpose of this poll, taking this as how “playable” is measured)

Sam Black (@samuelhblack) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Follow up poll, is Splinter Twin a good card in Modern? For this question, good will be measured as will it see play in 5% of decks throughout February or will a deck with it have a greater than 48% win rate throughout February

Some people seem to think I don’t like Mox Opal because I’ve advocated for its banning. That is absolutely not the case. My opinion on Opal is “how are they letting me get away with this?”and I’m certainly looking forward to casting it more.
