Banned and Restricted Update, June 1st 2020

01 Jun
by MTGStocks

Not only do we see bannings (suspensions) in Standard & Historic, but the companion rules have changed.

New Companion Rule

Once per game, any time you could cast a sorcery (during your main phase when the stack is empty), you can pay to put your companion from your sideboard into your hand. This is a special action, not an activated ability.

Standard
Historic

These changes will be effective from June 1st 2020 for tabletop.

For the full explanation, refer to the official announcement by WotC.

Based on these changes, what cards do you think we'll see on the top of the Interests tomorrow?

Agent of Treachery
Fires of Invention
