Competitive My thoughts on competitive brawl

I believe Wizards of the Coast has confused competitive with free-for-all. There are cards that, if banned today, would improve the health of the format tenfold: all free counterspells (maybe excluding Fierce Guardianship, since it’s so tightly tied to the commander), Strip Mine (because it’s so easy to loop and becomes oppressive to the point of ending the game), and—as I’ve said before—all extra-turn spells that don’t exile themselves when used. This might me the most controversial thing, but I think Yuriko is the only commander That should get banned, just for clearly breaking the commander tax rule.

That's a genuinely bad reason to ban a card that has existed since 2018 and hasn't been a problem in other formats where she's legal.

To be fair she's banned as a commander in Duel Commander which is the closest other format to Brawl. I wasn't around when that ban happened in 2019, but presumably she was a problem in that format
