Why WotC Should Ban Nadu [Opinion] (thelogicknot.com)

Kazi Baker's really great write-up on why they think Nadu should be banned in Modern after the PT MH3 showing last weekend.

Nadu, Winged Wisdom just posted one of the best showings at a Pro Tour of any new card(s) ever. The deck is comparable to decks (and seasoned) headlined by both Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis and Eye of Ugin Eldrazi in terms of conversion rate to Day 2, and slightly behind Eldrazi and significantly ahead of Hogaak (although for context, Hogaak had not received its power up from a ban yet) in terms of top 8 finishes at its first Pro Tour.

But how did this happen, and how did it happen so quickly?

It likely should. I just swapped it in as my commander for my group hug simic deck that has no wincon.. And 2 cards in the deck that actually work with Nadu. Just because of the memes.

And just in case anyone was wondering about simic group hug.. I give people card draw, lands, and symmetrical combo pieces. The plan is to make a 5+ person game not take 3 hours.
