Krark-Clan Ironworks

Reprint Impact Factors

If a card is banned in the format it saw heavy play, does that reduce the chances of a reprint in supplemental products? Krark-Clan Ironworks for example.

It can impact reprinting, yes.

Artifacts Ban Discussion

It seems like very few generically useful artifacts have been banned (Smuggler's Copter? Jitte in Modern?). Most banned artifacts are combo pieces (Krark-Clan Ironworks, Aetherworks Marvel, Memory Jar, etc) or go in heavy artifact decks (affinity cards). Which artifacts are you thinking of?

Most of what you list as combo pieces comboed with “other good cards in Magic”. Yes, the best deck with them might have been a combo deck, but if you banned other pieces in that combo, they just would have comboed with different cards. During original Mirrodin, for example, we had to ban eight artifacts, because banning any less than that didn’t stop the problem.
