Today’s Banned and Restricted Magic: The Gathering announcement removed three cards from the Historic format and rebalanced five digital-only MTG Arena cards, with no bans in the Standard format.
Effective Oct. 14 in MTG Arena, Tibalt’s Trickery and Brainstorm (previously suspended) will be banned in the Historic format. Memory Lapse is also getting removed, as a suspension. No bans were issued for the Standard format, but WotC is monitoring Alrund’s Epiphany and Esika’s Chariot until after the release of Innistrad: Crimson Vow in Nov.
The MTG Banned and Restricted announcement also included a total of five digital-only Magic Arena cards that were rebalanced.
- The third ability from Davriel, Soul Broker and the card Davreil’s Withering can now only target a creature that an opponent controls.
- Faceless agent had its stats changed from 2/2 to 2/1
- The second ability on Sarkhan, Wanderer to Shiv was changed from +1 to +0
- The mana cost on Subversive Acolyte was changed from BB to 1B and its stats were adjusted from 2/2 to 2/3. The toughness increased from becoming human or phyrexian was reduced by one.
