Nobody ever 'hears something' early regarding bannings. Its all speculation. And bannings only happen every 3 months, so the earliest it will happen is March. Standard will change with the release of Dark ascencion long before then.

Let me think about this.

No.

I see no reason for it to be banned. It's not broken at all. It's just pure card advantage and if you're going to ban that, you should ban brainstorm way before SCM.

(note, I'm not above banning creatures, I just don't think SCM should get the axe just yet).

Maybe before but now that they decided to print cage in dark ascension, it's doubtful that they are going to ban snapcaster.

Cards that get played around snapcaster would get banned before snapcaster itself thus making snapcaster played less.

don't think its going to happen but the fact that 7 of the top 8 standard decks at SCG/DC where U/W with Snapcaster makes you wonder.

The format changes next week. Let it settle before we start making irrational ban threads.

Pretty sure delver would come way before snapcaster. Delver is fairly annoying to play against.

I think the fact that he has flash makes it possible because of the additional power that gives the card, I do think it's a wait and see thing, but I do think he is right on the edge of possibly being banned, think about how many people wanted BBE banned in it's time and snapcaster is better, after all he has popped up alot in legacy that should tell you something about the power of this card. IS there another 2 drop close to this power level in standard?

I think WotC should have a poll on their site so that the players can have a say on dubious bannings, such as the banning Snapcaster would be. It would be nice if we had a voice regarding what cards we play with.

I think the bannings are good for the game. Just not good for the wallet when you see value plummet.
