Banned

[Fellfrosch]

The March 1st banned list for Magic is more like a nuclear attack--they couldn't decide who the major culprit was in Ravager Affinity, apparently, so they just banned whatever looked suspicious. Seems like the loss of the artifact lands especially will just about destroy any affinity deck, ravager or not.

I bet you could get an affinity deck working even in tournaments without the artifact lands. They wouldn't be half as fast or powerful, but I don't think its a kill-blow to the whole mechanic's tournament viability.
