Rite of Flame

Storm Mechanic Evaluation

I don't really understand why storm is a 10 on the storm scale. Storm really isn't a broken mechanic if there are no cheap rituals in the format. Its pretty simple really. Last time it was in standard with seething song, rite of flame and lotus bloom so it was really good. Its like saying hyopnotic specter is overpowered because you can play it turn 1 off of a dark ritual.

Don’t let Storm sweet talk you. It’s not as harmless as it says it is.

Modern Restriction List

MaRo why is there no restriction list for Modern? I mean if you can weaken cards like the mox's just by restricting them, then surely restricting cards like Cloudpost or Rite of Flame would weaken them enough for modern?

We consider the restriction list a necessary evil in Vintage. It majorly cranks up the variance.
