Now of course, Desire seems like a really powerful card. this week! Mind's Desire is now a completely and utterly legal card to play as a 4-of in Legacy. Thus, when Legacy became independent in 2004, Mind's Desire never came off the banned list and remained banned. On June 1st, 2003 a Banned and Restricted Announcement was issued restricting the card in Type 1 (a mere six days after its release), which in turn banned the card in Type 1.5 (due to how Type 1.5 bans worked). Mind's Desire was released as part of the set Scourge on (so while Legacy was part of Type 1 as Type 1.5). This status quo continued until 2004 when Legacy became independent in Vintage and cards that were already banned in Type 1.5 mostly continued to be banned in the new format. The format at that time was pretty weird, given that it had no restricted cards like Type 1 and its banned list was the sum of all cards that were either restricted or banned in Vintage or Standard. Legacy originally started life in MTG as a sub type (named Type 1.5) of the original two formats in the game (Type 1 being Vintage and Type 2 being Standard) in 1996. We got an unban! And it's for a card that's. Still, I don't think what we got out of this was actually on many Legacy player's radar. You can find the link to this BnR update here. This past week was a very interesting Banned and Restricted announcement, the first of Wizards' attempt at a yearly cadence for BnR for Standard and other formats, with a clarification that other formats can receive more frequent looks at BnR updates. It's a wild one, so let's strap in and get right to it! August 7 Banned and Restricted Announcement - Mind's Desire UNBANNED IN LEGACY Howdy folks!
