MODERN HORIZONS 3 HISTORIC AND BRAWL PRE-BANS

HISTORIC

Harbinger of the Seas
Winter Moon
Endurance
Fury
Grief
Subtlety
Solitude
Flare of Fortitude
Flare of Denial
Flare of Malice
Flare of Duplication
Flare of Cultivation
Enemy fetch lands

Modern Horizons 3 introduces the largest change to Historic to date when it comes to card power. We want to take as many cards as possible in the format while keeping true to our typical banning strategy. We have been cautious of cards that can be cast for free with alternative payments as we believe they are too fast for this format. So, it should not be surprising that we are banning the Evoke Elementals and Flare cycle for Modern Horizons 3, but they will be playable in Timeless.

We believe the other two cards, Winter Moon and Harbinger of the Seas, are above the power level threshold for Historic. Both cards affect the opponent's lands in a way we are cautious of in this format and will likely slow the game down.

BRAWL

Disruptor Flute

Finally, we want to prevent cards in Brawl that can shut down a player's commander completely, so Disruptor Flute is banned in Brawl.
