1 wow theyve only ever banned 190 people
2 if you commit a crime, however heinous, but it does not have anything to do with magic (like selling coke) or playing magic (or anything adjacent to the magic community/magic affiliated events) does that put you in danger of ban?
2a is it visibility to the magic community that would be enough for a ban? when pharmabro was going down for securities fraud he was publicly liquidating his assets into reserved list cards-- is that enough to eat a ban?
3 both 2 and 2a are questions in jest because the dci suspended membership list is at the discretion of wotc and can just be understood as unsporting conduct, grounds for immediate dci sanctions

interesting when you look at the lifetime bans. most of them are Literally Whos, who I assume were banned either for cheating or for doing something flagrantly out of bounds at an event, but i recognize Zach Jesse (raped a girl in college), Jeremy Hambly (organized a harassment campaign against cosplayers), Alex Bertoncini (Patron Saint of Cheaters). who else?

it's very context sensitive, since pat chapin dealt enough drugs to do hard time and possibly/probably had someone murdered but he's never been sanctioned for it

You basically need to assault someone at an event to be banned for life, or defraud WotC out of money. I know a guy who was on the lifetime ban list because, at a GP when they had those lovely carbon copy credit card swipers, knowingly used a fake credit card to buy hundreds of dollars of product. His ban lifetime kept getting bounced around from "Lifetime" to far-off years like 2068 or something, but eventually he was taken off altogether.

Conley Woods beat a girl after consulting with the internet how to get away with it. Unsurprisingly, a bunch of not lawyers handed out dumb rear end advice which Conley took as gospel and the cops just laughed at his excuse for beating said girl and took him away in cuffs.

Turns out that the old "50 shades" defense is just as capable of holding legal water as a pasta strainer, as it should be.

So it looks like they want to encourage monocolor draft decks in Eldraine. That allows you to play 4 different quad-hybrid cards easily, as well as always be Adamant.

Googling his name pops up the latest in the Conley saga, plus related hit of Intruder Alarm Infinite Combo.

It might only have legs in modern, but that appears to be the breakout card for the set so far. So many decks get nuked by a 1 CMC enchantment (basically, anything that resembles a spells or combo deck right now) that I can't help but think it's going to show up in almost every sideboard of a deck that can support it.

Humans is already a tough matchup. I play 4 creatures, and short of a generous gift this would just down flashing back souls + another spell. Board presence hard to maintain while chumping until I can get strong board.

They've spent a card (and a turn, if it's early on) not putting any pressure on you in order to play it though, so it doesn't really seem like the hugest deal if you're playing a deck that only draws one card a turn? You still get to advance the board on your turn and Path/Push the opponent's creature on their turn.

Not planned as in pre meditating his violent physical reaction to improperly warmed sketti-o's, planned as in chuds telling him "if you hit a woman and she calls the cops just say it was kinky time" and him accepting that as the same as consensual kink when literally nobody else but abusive weirdos do

Protected from assassin's trophy, tyrant's scorn, bedevil, mortify, can't be blocked by multicolor creatures, can't be bounced by teferi, destroyed by new garruk. Seems dope for any deck. Doesn't even cost 2X, just X. Pretty much any deck can play it on curve and have it be useful. Sometimes a 2/2 reach protection from multicolor can be enough for an aggro deck. And then there's proliferate stuff.
