Cancel Save. Universal Conquest Wiki. This list is a work in progress. Click here for the list. Currently, only the Vintage format uses a restricted list. This format lets you dive deeper into Magic 's history, allowing cards from Eighth edition to today. The following cards are restricted, which means you can only have one of them in your main deck and sideboard combined:.
Block play requires a Constructed deck, which must contain a minimum of sixty cards. All cards in your deck must be from a single block of Magic releases.
The following cards are banned in Brawl and cannot be included in your deck or used as your commander:. Note: The regular Standard banned list does not apply to Brawl. If a card from a Standard-legal set isn't listed here, it's fine to use.
Suspending cards is our way to incorporate Magic's history of using bans and restrictions to address issues with the current meta while allowing greater flexibility to adjust as a digital-first format.
For gameplay purposes, a suspension works like a ban, in that the card will not be legal to use in the format while it is suspended. But unlike how we handle banning cards, we plan to use the flexibility that a digital format provides to move cards onto and off the suspension list on a regular basis.
Suspension isn't a final verdict; it's an indication that we think this card may be causing issues, and we'd like to see what the meta looks like without that influence. Another challenge with this list is one of cost.
However, your playgroup may be fine with proxy or gold border versions, which largely removes the cost factor. Some groups are fine with it, others not. The presence of fast mana in a deck can dictate what power level a deck plays at. If we use the scale, then fast mana is most commonly found in decks in the range. This can make the waters murky, as players try to correctly evaluate the power of their decks.
Mana Crypt has been banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage, but it can be acceptable in a Boros Commander deck. That same Mana Crypt has potential to supercharge a Sultai deck, and be what it needs to take the game over early.
Fast mana can pick up more of the slack in non-green decks, but it can get out of hand in base-green decks. Navigating the relationship between fast mana, and what your deck plans to do with it, is critical for a fair evaluation.
Conceivably, you could have two decks on the same power level, but have only one use fast mana. Over the past few years in card design, Green has gotten a substantial push. It has been bolstered by more card draw, ways to interact, and most of all ramp effects. Even Rumbling Baloth grew up to become Questing Beast.
With this push came the rise of green-based value engine decks. Wizards of the Coast began to notice the increase in Commander players, and began designing legendary creatures that slotted right into the format. These provide extra card advantage right out of the command zone. Commander has and always will be a format that favors decks that can go the distance, and scale well into the late-game.
As it stands now, green decks are the strongest at accelerating their mana, making them more likely to land those game-altering plays before others at the table. There are more playable ramp spells than slots to fit them. To combat this, the other colors have to rely on nonland permanents to supplement their strategy.
These non-green decks have the most to gain from fast mana like Sol Ring. Fast mana in non-green decks allows them to get a foothold early, to disrupt the methodical ramp power of a green deck.
But this strategy has its flaws. Nonland permanents get blown up by many board wipes in the format, allowing a green player to naturally get ahead—whether they cast the sweeper or not. Due to the social contract, mass land destruction is tacitly written out of the format. While Armageddon is the poster child for these spells, it also extends to cards like Global Ruin and Ruination. For casual play, there are few ways to truly keep ramp strategies in check.
