Q: Why these bans?
A: Most bans are there because they can give one player cards that they are not allowed to play. For example, Nymph's Tears generates a creature in a deck that should be full of spells and not contain any creatures at all.

I can understand the ban on NT, but why Queen? ò_ò And why Chaos Power?

[Calindu]

I can understand the ban on NT, but why Queen? ò_ò And why Chaos Power?

Also why Death Nymph? Doesn't all the nymphs have a spell as ability?

[pikachufan2164]

Queen your opponent's quanta. Oh look, 'cheating' with illegal cards if they're playing a permanent-only or spell-only deck. Chaos Power because of the ambiguity caused if I banned Chaos Seed but not Chaos Power.

Also why Death Nymph? Doesn't all the nymphs have a spell as ability?

Removed Grey Nymph from the ban list after some consideration. It's not the spell effects, but rather the ability to put potentially illegal cards in play that matters.

I don't think the queen cheat thing is something to be afraid of. It would be fairly obvious to the Organizer if that happened via a single screenshot. Chaos Power doesn't matter, it cannot be used anyways.

If putting potentially illegal cards into play is a concern, why was firefly queen allowed in tournaments where firefly itself was banned multiple times before?

[shileka]

so a flying weapon deck is also a no-go

[Helston]

Why is Aflatoxin banned? It may be a spell which can create creatures, but it requires a creature already there to do so. It's more akin to Mutation in that it modifies a creature, as opposed to Boneyard which creates one.

so a flying weapon deck is also a no-go

Correct. Flying/Animate Weapon are both allowed, but because all weapons are Permanents you would not be allowed to use spells, such as Flying/Animate Weapon.

4am... seeing as I'm already getting less sleep than I should, I probably shouldn't. *sigh* and it looks like such a good one...

[Vineroz]

I am requesting to remove Chaos Power from ban list because it instantly destroys an obviously decent strategy. Also I agree with Helston about Alfatoxin.

[juan_de_diablo]

I'm gunna have to get in on this one. Looks like a good one to pop my tourny cherry on 

[inthisroom]

Does Poison fall under the "spell" category?
