There was lot of discussion on here about potential bannings at that time, you just weren't paying attention. http://classic.magictraders.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/024948.html

I agree that pyromancer's Ascension is the only card that would potentially get banned. You have the pyromancer shell and can turn it into splinter twin via SB or have it mainboard. However, GY hate is plenty and there is also trinisphere, which helps against zoo as well. As a result it won't get touched.

I think the solution should be unbanning as opposed to banning. Too many cards are literal "do nothings" on the banned list currently.

I'd see Splinter Twin getting banned before Vesuva but even then they would ban Deceiver Exarch before banning Splinter Twin as big cards don't work well without the common/uncommon cards that fuel the combos such as Vesuva not being banned but Cloudpost and Glimmerpost would get banned before Vesuva.

that would still leave pestermite and kiki-jiki. That combo is fine to have around and just needs to be made less consistent. They can do that by banning some blue card filtering spells, but there are so many of them I'm not sure if they want to ban them all.The other approach that might be taken is to make a subtle change and then see if the format can correct itself via metagaming. Not sure how likely that is to happen though. Survival got banned because people wouldn't run leyline of the void.

err...i just read the thread. the only discussion that took place was that Jace is a good card. not a single person actually thought it would be banned. IN FACT, the only comments on there was that it WONT be banned. by posting this thread actually helps my arguement....that no one actually thought they would ban jace. you're pretty bad at lawyering. but props to trying. EDIT - i'll give u a second chance to redeem your embarassment. go and find me a single thread where ANYONE actually makes the prediction - "I think Jace will be banned. Mark my words" or to that effect.

Either a bad troll or naturally not very bright. Cards like chrome mox + sword of the meek + JTMS are literally awful in the current metagame. I have no idea why we need ancestral visions on the banned list when the earliest you can cast it is turn 5...yet combo decks are killing EVERYONE turn 3-4. The biggest mistake wizards made was saying they didn't want control to dominate. The old triangle where combo beats aggro, aggro beats control, control beats combo? Remove the control pillar and...you have a bunch of aggro decks playing with decks that don't care what their opponents do and just untapping and killing them. I believe reintroducing control into the format would allow the metagame to develop successfully (at least healthier than now). It will take cards like JTMS, ancestral visions, maybe even misstep, but we need to allow a decent control deck to be built that can combat combo in it's current form.

A quicker and easier way is to just ban Islands. Blue is usually the culprit behind these combos.  ~Revenger __________________

Actually, it would be right after. The Grand Prix this past weekend had a top 8 of 6 with Jace TMS and Stoneforge/Hawk, 1 with just Jace TMS and 1 with just Stoneforge/Hawk. Even though they are rotating soon, it would be good for the game to see Jace TMS and Stoneforge leave Type 2 July 1 in my opinion.

I think you are going to see something out of the deck banned July 1. I don't think WOTC wants to see another repeat of the last two Standard GPs for Nationals and another GP.
