Surprised they aren't banning Ugin's Labrynth in Historic.

There are a ton of cards in MH3 that we'll be watching closely, but, wherever possible, we prefer to let the meta prove something is a problem, rather than assume.

Prebans are mostly about cards that are against the character of a format (free spells & fast mana in Historic, Pithing Needles in Brawl, etc.).

Explorer is intended to become Pioneer, but we see both Timeless and Historic as their own formats. Neither is intended to match any tabletop format.
