Here is a full breakdown of when to expect the next ban.\u00a0 Is there an upcoming MTG Banned and Restricted announcement? As confirmed by WotC, the next MTG Banned and Restricted announcement is scheduled for Dec. 16. Big changes were applied to the MTG Modern and Pioneer formats in the Aug. 26 Banned & Restricted announcement. WotC also addressed scheduling concerns, as the Modern RCQ season began three weeks before banning cards like Nadu and Grief. Starting in December, MTG Banned & Restricted announcements will prioritize timing for organized play over set releases. What is new about MTG Banned and Restricted announcements? A set schedule was applied to MTG Banned and Restricted announcements at the same time that the legality of an MTG card in Standard was increased to three years. The purpose of the change was to provide players with one large annual Banned and Restricted announcement a year while having slots throughout the year where WotC could choose to ban a card or leave all formats as is.\u00a0Starting in December, though, organized play will take priority over set releases. A Banned and Restricted window slot doesn't mean any bans or unbans will happen in December. The window is there in case a card slips through the design cracks and warps an MTG format or meta almost immediately. The window can also be used to ban or unban a card within a format once the Banned and Restricted team has had time to process data and community reactions from the previous Standard-legal set. All MTG Banned and Restricted announcements in 2023-2024 season The most recent Banned and Restricted announcement targeted the Modern and Pioneer formats, removing meta-warping cards like Nadu, Winged Wisdom, Grief, Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, and Amalia Benavides Aguirre. We've put together a list of all the Banned and Restricted announcements during the MTG 2023-2024 season to help you keep track.\u00a0And if you're looking for every MTG card that has ever been banned throughout the TCG history, we have that too. August 2024 Banned and Restricted announcement MTG format MTG cards banned or restrictedModern Nadu, Winged Wisdom banned Grief banned Pioneer Amalia Benavides Aguirre banned Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord banned Legacy Grief banned Vintage Urza\u2019s Saga restricted Vexing Bauble restricted Explorer Amalia Benavides Aguirre banned Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord banned Standard No changes Alchemy No changes Historic No changes Timeless No changes Brawl No changes May 2024 Banned and Restricted announcement Pauper: All That Glitters Pauper, Vintage, and Legacy: All Sticker and Attraction cards were banned from competitive play March 2024 Banned and Restricted announcement Standard: No changes Pioneer: No changes Modern: Violent Outburst Legacy: No changes Vintage: Ponder removed from restricted list Explorer: No changes Pauper: No changes December 2023 Banned and Restricted announcement All changes went into effect on Dec. 4 for tabletop and Dec. 5 for MTG Arena.\u00a0 Standard: No changes Pioneer: Karn, the Great Creator and Geological Appraiser banned Pioneer: Smuggler's Copter unbanned Modern: Fury and Up the Beanstalk banned Legacy: No changes Vintage: No changes Explorer: Karnm the Great Creator and Geological Appraiser banned Pauper: Monastery Swiftspear banned The next MTG Banned and Restricted announcement window is about one week after the launch of MH3.

Here is a full breakdown of when to expect the next ban.\u00a0 Is there an upcoming MTG Banned and Restricted announcement? As confirmed by WotC, the next MTG Banned and Restricted announcement is scheduled for Dec. 16. Big changes were applied to the MTG Modern and Pioneer formats in the Aug. 26 Banned & Restricted announcement. WotC also addressed scheduling concerns, as the Modern RCQ season began three weeks before banning cards like Nadu and Grief. Starting in December, MTG Banned & Restricted announcements will prioritize timing for organized play over set releases. What is new about MTG Banned and Restricted announcements? A set schedule was applied to MTG Banned and Restricted announcements at the same time that the legality of an MTG card in Standard was increased to three years. The purpose of the change was to provide players with one large annual Banned and Restricted announcement a year while having slots throughout the year where WotC could choose to ban a card or leave all formats as is.\u00a0Starting in December, though, organized play will take priority over set releases. A Banned and Restricted window slot doesn't mean any bans or unbans will happen in December. The window is there in case a card slips through the design cracks and warps an MTG format or meta almost immediately. The window can also be used to ban or unban a card within a format once the Banned and Restricted team has had time to process data and community reactions from the previous Standard-legal set. All MTG Banned and Restricted announcements in 2023-2024 season The most recent Banned and Restricted announcement targeted the Modern and Pioneer formats, removing meta-warping cards like Nadu, Winged Wisdom, Grief, Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, and Amalia Benavides Aguirre. We've put together a list of all the Banned and Restricted announcements during the MTG 2023-2024 season to help you keep track.\u00a0And if you're looking for every MTG card that has ever been banned throughout the TCG history, we have that too.
