Ep. 41 - Why Do Cards Get Banned?

The Hobbies + Happiness Podcast

Today we have a pretty different(ish) and very interesting conversation for you all! Today we're talking about why cards get banned in different card games? If you're not involved in the Magic: The Gathering scene, Wizards of the Coast just recently made a banned and restricted announcement. We thought this would be a really good opportunity to discuss why these types of announcements occur, and why cards get banned generally speaking. This conversation is centered around Magic, but this topic and concepts apply to just about all competitive card games. We hope you enjoy!
