Hey guys, check out the new restricted and banned list, here at: http://www.wizards.com/sideboard/article.asp?sb19990901a
I've only taken a quick look at it, but 2 things jumped out at me right away. First thing is the things banned and unbanned from 1.5 as a result of the Type 1 changes. You can now play 4 Ivory Towers in your 1.5 deck, or 4 Underwear Dreams.
Wow.
The second thing is the changes they made to Extended. I don't remember anything being said back at the time they dreamed up the format (when they tried to replace 1.5 with it) about it being their intention to rotate out older expansions (or basic sets either, apparently). Does anyone else?
My favorite part, though, comes when they say that by the time they do this again, they'll have created a new format, and they're planning to make it a CASUAL format! Can you believe that! A CASUAL format!
Now they want to try to control how casual players play too!
