Force of Negation

Format Staples Rotation

In the interest of Wotc playing attention to non-commander formats, has there ever been talk of taking away format staples for a brief period of time? As long its communucated effectively that the cards are not banned forever I'd like to see what legacy looks like without Daze for like 3 months, or modern without Force of Negation for a season or so. I like that vintage saw the unrestriction of Ponder as a way to shake up the format, and want that for other formats as well.

I have pitched the idea of a “penalty box” where cards get sidelined for a specific amount of time, but it’s never gained traction.

Color Overlap Spells

If/when on "free" spells that exile cards of a different colour? (ex. Force of Negation but it exiles a red card instead of a blue one?) Thanks Mark!

If. It would have to an overlap ability between the two colors, otherwise it would be breaking color pie.

Power Level of Free Spells

Hey Mark!I've noticed a certain trend in Modern Horizon's 1 and 2. The "free" spells clearly have blue at the best and red at the worse. Blue seems to get access to what it usually does, Force of Negation is negate and Subtlety is sort of like Hinder. Yet for red it seems like design if VERY careful to not give red direct damage. Force of Rage, two 3/1's that die at end step and Fury only hits players. I think it is pretty obvious that red is being severely bottlenecked on its power level for free spells and blue continues to be the 'best' color, why is that?

Because defensive spells are much less dangerous as free spells then offensive spells.
