Wizards of the Coast announced significant bans across multiple Magic: The Gathering formats, including banning Vivi Ornitier in Standard to curb deck dominance, along with bans on Proft’s Eidetic Memory, Screaming Nemesis, and others to promote diversity and balance. Additionally, they banned Entomb and Nadu in Legacy, and re-banned High Tide in Pauper due to problematic gameplay. Several pre-bans were also issued in Historic and Brawl, reflecting a focus on maintaining format health. The next bans are scheduled for February 9th, with hopes for a more balanced metagame.
Wizards of the Coast is considering changing the rules for Hybrid Mana cards in Commander from an 'and' to an 'or', which could significantly expand deckbuilding options and increase the playability of nearly 500 cards, though the proposal is still under feedback and not finalized.
Vivi Ornitier, a popular and dominant card in MTG's Standard format, is experiencing a significant price decline due to speculation about an upcoming ban by Wizards of the Coast, with market reactions intensifying after an official statement suggesting potential action in November. Despite the price drop, the card retains value through its popularity in Commander and other formats, providing a safety net if banned.

The artwork is praised, but overall, the set offers a mix of high-impact and mediocre reprints.
Recent bans in Magic: The Gathering's Standard format aimed to curb problematic strategies, but new threats like Tinybones Joins Up and persistent decks like Orzhov Pixie and Dimir Midrange are emerging as dominant forces, indicating the bans may not fully resolve the meta's issues and could lead to ongoing shifts in deck strategies.
A major Magic: The Gathering ban announcement is expected to target cards like Cori-Steel Cutter and Monstrous Rage in Standard and Pioneer, with potential restrictions on Lurrus and Stock Up in Vintage, while other formats like Legacy and Pauper are unlikely to see changes.
Today's deals focus on trading card game preorders, including Marvel's Spider-Man and Final Fantasy MTG sets, with available discounts on TCGPlayer and exclusive merchandise.

Leaked cards from the upcoming Final Fantasy MTG set, especially Golbez, have caused a surge in market activity, with Golbez's powerful abilities and potential synergies making it a popular choice among players. The card Mirko, Obsessive Theorist, is also gaining attention as a promising speculative investment due to increased sales driven by Golbez leaks, though its price has not yet spiked significantly.
The new MTG set, Foundations (FDN), features a mix of 50% reprints and 50% new cards, with no new mechanics, offering a stable environment for players.
