Shawn and Taylor talk about the official ban list and the curated ban list they use in their playgroup for a "Rule 7" deck. Disclaimer: we've got no sway over the RC, so we're not getting anything banned or un-banned, but you should always have conversations with your playgroup about what you do and don't like to see across the table in the games you play.
