MTG Banned and Restricted announcement shakes up Modern and Pioneer meta

A Magic: The Gathering Banned and Restricted announcement dropped on Aug. 26, removing overpowered cards like Nadu, Winged Wisdom, Grief, Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, and Amalia Benavides Aguirre.

The anticipation for the August MTG Banned and Restricted announcement was intense, with many players calling for a ban on Nadu, Winged Wisdom from the Modern format. The Modern Horizons 3 card rose to ban status following the final Pro Tour tournament of the 2023-2024 season through the Bant Nadu deck and has continued to dominate the Modern format into the 2024-2025 season. Nadu was removed from the Modern format through the Aug. 26 MTG Banned and Restricted announcement, along with Grief. Multiple other Magic formats were also hit with bans, including Pioneer, Legacy, Vintage, and Explorer.
