So America, you take your 33 1/3 tariff, minus my 25% tariff and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning with a Tariff. But then you take my 75% tariff, if we go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 tariff. See USA, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you in 2025.

Flashback to the time I realized "The Impression That I Get" was not about knocking on wood.

Facebook status from September 18, 2018 that says, "I am just now, in this moment, at the age of 33 years old, realizing that the Mighty Mighty Bosstones are not singing a song about how they have never knocked on wood before."

"For 21 years.
21 years I thought they were bragging about never knocking on wood.

And why it just NOW occurred to me that is not the point and that they've never done these bad things - knock on wood! - is making me feel so many different ways."

Someone replies, "Wait. Wut." I reply to them,

""Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse?"
Well I've never had to (feel a pain so powerful, but let me) knock on wood (as a superstitious preventative measure)
But I know someone who has (dealt with that pain)
Which makes me wonder if I could (deal with that pain)"

Coming up on the 25th anniversary of Dark Ritual being banned in Extended. How will YOU celebrate this important Magic: The Gathering anniversary?

DCI Banned and Restricted List Announcement
Announcement Date: March 1, 2000
Effective Date: April 1, 2000
Standard
No changes
Extended
Dark Ritual is banned
Mana Vault is banned
DCI

(All cards on the Type 1 Banned and Restricted Lists are banned in Type 1.5)
Watch List Update
All cards have been removed from the watch list.
Explanation of Banned and Restricted List Changes
In considering the Extended format, we took into account the proliferation of certain combo decks, suc increasingly popular Necro-Donate deck. Data was analyzed from Pro Tour™ - Chicago, recent Qualifier ments and Grand Prix events. Although many cards were considered (including Necropotence, Donate, a Demonic Consultation), it was decided that it was more important to deal with the core of the problem mana. Dark Ritual and Mana Vault both provide mana too easily, allowing certain combo decks to win r too quickly. Removing these two cards from the environment allows combo decks to exist, but decrease speed at which they can win, balancing the decks in relation to the rest of the field. This decision also other interesting, balanced deck types to exist within the format.
