Last Friday in a surprise turn of events, Wizards of the Coast announced the banning of format staple Splinter Twin alongside the more predictable Summer Bloom. Kessler and Ben dissect why this ban happened, what this means for the future of Modern, and how Modern can avoid heavy ban hammer moments in the future. Then analysis on what cards and decks will likely become stronger with the banning.
