Episode 462 - History of the Banhammer, Pt 1

With the weird out-of-sequence Felidar Guardian ban that just went down, we thought it would be a good time to look at the history of the Banned & Restricted Lists in Magic. Joining us for this adventure is none other than SCG writer, brewer, and longtime player Chris Lansdell! We're starting at the very beginning, waaaay back in 1994, with the first B&R update that predated even the existence of formats! We'll weave our way through the now-obvious and now-ridiculous additions to the list, giving you some historical reasons whenever we can.  Timeline of DCI bans & restrictions: http://mtg.gamepedia.com/Timeline_of_DCI_bans_and_restrictions Check out Chris Lansdell's articles: http://www.starcitygames.com/tags/ChrisLansdell    Support us on Patreon! – https://www.patreon.com/themanapool Intro & Outro Music – Diamond by Swift – https://myspace.com/swiftband This episode's post: http://themanapool.com/podcast/episode-462 Check out our archive at http://themanapool.com/category/podcast Email us at [email protected] Follow us on Twitter at @TheManaPool Like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheManaPool Subscribe to us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheManaPool Follow us on Twitch at http://www.twitch.tv/themanapool TMP Steam Group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/themanapool Subscribe to our RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/themanapool Brought to you by Mana Pool Productions
