Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EternalDurdlesTCGPLAYER AFFILIATE LINK:https://partner.tcgplayer.com/OexAAnWith recent changes to the Premodern ban list, Zac and Phil take a full-format look at every banned card and ask a simple question:Does this still belong here?This episode isn’t about hot takes or knee-jerk unbans. It’s about format identity, historical context, and whether any of these cards would actually improve Premodern—or just make it worse.We cover:Why Brainstorm, Force of Will, and Tendrils of Agony are banned for vibes, not powerWhether iconic cards like Balance, Necropotence, Entomb, and Land Tax could realistically returnWhat happens if you remove ante text from old-school cards like Jeweled Bird, Bronze Tablet, and Amulet of QuozWhy some cards are “broken everywhere” but strangely tame in PremodernThe difference between interesting experiments and format-warping mistakesWhy Premodern’s ban list is smaller — and healthier — than Legacy’sIf you’re new to Premodern, this episode is a guided tour of why the format looks the way it does.If you’re a longtime player, it’s a reality check on which sacred cows should stay sacred.Let us know in the comments:👉 Is there any card on the Premodern ban list you’d like to see tested again?Support the show and help us keep making long-form Eternal Magic content:patreon.com/eternaldurdlesJOIN US ON DISCORD: https://discord.gg/hrC7PxQZTEProudly supported by Three For One Trading: shop.threeforonetrading.comCardmillhttps://cardmill.com/EternalDurdlesMOXFIELDEternal Durdles Moxfield: https://www.moxfield.com/users/EternalDurdleshttps://www.moxfield.com/users/Durdlemagushttps://www.moxfield.com/users/ForceofPhil
