On February 12, the official Magic webpage announced the unbanning of “Jace, the Mind Sculptor” and “Bloodbraid Elf” for Modern format tournament play. The effective date for the physical card game is February 19, and for Magic Online play is February 14. Both cards were originally banned because they were too powerful, but now WOTC believes the format’s natural power level has increased enough to support the cards. Unlike Standard format play, which only uses the most recently released Magic sets, Modern format play allows cards from a wider variety of releases (currently it includes cards from the Core Set – 8th Edition and Mirrodin [2003] through current releases).
