Anticipated with a mix of fear that one's decks may be bricked and a sense of novelty for a meta shift, Magic: The Gathering's December 2024 Banned and Restricted post came out just a day ago. While one of the latest posts sparked a massive controversy with bans on some of Commander's most played and expensive cards, the announcement for December 2024 is a mix of big and small bans and also a series of unbans. Lifting bans in Magic: The Gathering is no small feat, so it's good to see some cards returning to the meta as others leave.
