Oh Lordy, Lordy- Kokusho's free at last.
As of Sept. 20th, the Commander banlist has been updated.
For me, the biggest move here was getting Kokusho back in decks. You can't play him as a General, but hey- he was never good out in the open anyway.
The other big notable move was banning Primeval Titan. Yeah. If you didn't see this coming, well, you must really like the spiderhole you've been hiding out in. Probably for the best. I've been abusing this card for months, and I have to say this will be better.
The last ban was for Worldfire. Now, I know what you're thinking. This card was meant to be cast with our huge piles of mana. So why'd it get the axe in Commander?
According to Sheldon Mennery, father of EDH and part of the Official Rules Committee, the banning of Worldfire is mostly due to the unfortunate mechanics that it inhibits.
It was felt by the rules committee that because a General could be cast with mana floating after cleansing a board, this card was really no better than Sway of the Stars or Biorhythm, both of which are already on the banlist.
So yeah. Prime Time's not Prime anymore. The World won't set on fire, and the Evening Star is on the rise.
Super excited for legit Kokusho. Start playing yours.
Peace. Love. Land drops.
