Let’s Talk About the Bans | Bonus Episode

This is the episode you’ve been waiting for: We’re talking about the bans. This week’s ban announcement – removing Dockside Extortionist, Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt, and Nadu from the format – took the Commander community by storm. Some people are ecstatic, others are furious, but if you engage with Magic on the Internet you know this is all anyone’s been talking about. So in this special episode, JLK and Rachel sit down to hash out their thoughts on these controversial bans (except Nadu, that one’s fine). -------- Support the show and become a Patron!
