Since the inception of the Modern format, Birthing Pod has been a favorite of many players as it was fun to play, intricate for those who like challenges, and had the tools for players with experience with the deck to play the game at a level that I can only hope R&D dreams for its cards. It was the most played deck and it was not because of it's power. It was a joy to pilot a deck with so many lines and options. By banning Birthing Pod, you are removing a big reason that many people play Modern. Along with the recent changes to the Pro Tour structure, we as a community are left to wonder if you are truly doing the right thing for a format by banning such a beloved card. We love Birthing Pod not for its power, but for the style of play that it allows. Please reconsider your banning of Birthing Pod for the love of our game and your players. Thank you.
