Banlist Update > Lord of the Rings Edition <
As always, we do ban cards that give extra turns:there is also one of these cards in the new LotR Expansion.
Lost Isle Calling gets banned.
Also, though they were not a recurring and always dominating problem, we like to ban two massdiscard cards just to stay in line.
Another card which is totally messing up with our meta is Conduit of Worlds. While we already banned the predecessor which is a lot weaker, Crucible of Worlds, the problem with every round recurring lands makes Landdestruction impossible. While we do not like LD per se, we see the emminant need of destroying game determing lands. (Diamond Valley, Phyrexian Tower, …). The other possibility would just be allowing mass land destruction or banning all special lands which are way too powerful.
We do think that the game alters fast, it is difficult to adjust every card, and old combo cards may get unbanned as they are not that powerful or dominating anymore. We will closely reevaluate in the future. An example may be Orcish Bowmasters.
The following cards are newly banned:
- Lost Isle Calling (Extra Turn)
- Sheoldred (Discards 3+ Cards)
- Cruel Ultimatum (Discards 3+ Cards)
- Conduit of Worlds
The following cards are unbanned:
- none
