Candelabra Is Gone. The Problem Isn't.

The Banned & Restricted announcement is here...

...and we're left with more questions than answers.

In this emergency episode, Zac and Phil react to Candelabra of Tawnos being banned in Legacy, discuss why Planar Nexus and Fantasticar remain legal, and break down Wizards' reasoning behind one of the most surprising B&R announcements in recent memory.

We discuss:

• Why Candelabra of Tawnos was chosen
• Is Planar Nexus still the real problem?
• Why Fantasticar survived another B&R
• Wizards' explanation for Legacy's current health
• Flow State vs. Expressive Iteration
• The future of Colorless Tron
• What this means for Eternal Weekend
• How Legacy should be curated going forward

Do you agree with Wizards' decision, or did they ban around the real issue?

Let us know in the comments.
