Spinning Myths (RDE-031)
When this card was banned, the threat of putting a Myth into the field early in the game was reall strong. Wind players used this card to finish their games, protecting their Myth with cancel spells. But now, with the new [Revolution Order] mechanic and will producing resonators not seeing any play, we have changed our mind: this spell with a total cost of 3 without [Quickcast] is still very good, but not that good anymore for it to be on the banlist. Therefore Spinning Myths (RDE-031) is no longer banned.
The Magic Stone of the Six Sages (MSW-102)
Since this card was printed, it has been the best Magic Stone in the game. Allowing early judgments, using the [Rest] ability of some Rulers for free, doing [Revolution Order] on the first turn of the game, producing will of any attribute, and many more powerful plays: this card is fantastic. All the other Special Magic Stones that produce will of any attribute have a cost, for example paying 200 life, or needing a regalia and otherwise entering the field rested, amongst others. The cost of the Six Sages stone disappears when played with the powerful [Tag] rulers, making them even better than they are, and turns its downside into an advantage. It is time for other magic stones to shine again, so from now on The Magic Stone of the Six Sages (MSW-102) is banned.
Alecto, Unstoppable Fury (TST-024)
We have closely been watching this card. In New Frontiers, due to not having many discard options and also the lack of free draw, this resonator hasn’t been problematic. But in Wanderer, thanks to a larger card pool and using support cards of older rulers, a combo deck that plays almost all of its cards without paying their cost has appeared, which is centered around this card. Even with the new cards that can interrupt the combo momentarily, Alecto can make endless comebacks making the deck unstoppable. As we don’t want decks like that in the format, Alecto, Unstoppable Fury (TST-024) is banned (as we did to other water resonators with too much power).
And that’s all for today. We are still gathering Wanderer tournament results from all over the world. In order to do this, we would like to receive the Ruler breakdown of the events you play, even if those events are small. Every piece of data we can gather counts. So please, use the comments section of this article or send us a message every time you play a Wanderer tournament. That would help a lot 😊.
See you soon and stay safe!
