Jace, the Mind Sculptor is banned.

Exception: The deck list for the "War of Attrition" Event Deck will be legal in Standard if kept completely intact. That deck, which went on sale on June 10, contains two copies of Stoneforge Mystic.
On Magic Online, Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Stoneforge Mystic will both be banned in Standard as of the June 29, 2011 downtime. There will be no exceptions made for the Event Deck containing Stoneforge Mystic, as that deck will not be sold online.

| I was kind of hoping for some background legacy unbannings, as the format is a little stale.

| I agree, maybe unbanning Mystical Tutor at least would be nice. Well at least you don't have to listen to me complain about Stoneforge Mystic and Jace for the next 3 months or so in Standard.

| Now you can complain about all the Valakut decks. Splinter Twin also looks pretty good. It played Jace, but opposing Jace's could be a problem.

| Splinter twin cant actually win a game through spellskite and dismember, which valakut will be playing. Valakut is def the strongest looking deck out of the gate.
