Banned Cards: Up The Ante

by wizkida981015 on 14 August 2020

Main Deck (9 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

If you've ever looked up a banlist for an eternal format (modern, legacy, commander, etc.), you may be familiar with these lines of text:
"25 cards with the Card Type 'Conspiracy.' Click here for list."
"9 cards that reference 'playing for ante.' Click here for list."
Conspiracy is an ancillary product that wotc makes every once and a while with a "draft matters" theme, where certain cards called Conspiracies only do a thing if you drafted them.
Ante was a mechanic in the early days of Magic that was basically a betting mechanic that wotc removed because of gambling laws.

Apparently MTGVault didn't even feel the need to import the Conspiracies, so I'll leave them in the How To Play tab.

Finally, I will be starting a series where I post the banlists for the various formats. I'll try to keep them updated, but as usual, things take time.

What law does it violate?

It did violate european gambling laws in the past.
Most players were indifferent but stores had to take it seriously.
Eventually it was the price of the best cards that made people stop gambling in Denmark.
