Banned and Restricted Update, June 1, 2020: Agent, Fires Banned, Companion Mechanic Change
Wizards has released the latest Banned and Restricted Announcement! Effective June 1st (tabletop, Magic Online bans) and June 4th (MTG Arena, Magic Online companion change):
Standard
- Agent of Treachery is banned.
- Fires of Invention is banned.
Historic
- Agent of Treachery is suspended.
- Fires of Invention is suspended.
Companion rule change:
Once per game, any time you could cast a sorcery (during your main phase when the stack is empty), you can pay 3 generic mana to put your companion from your sideboard into your hand. This is a special action, not an activated ability. It happens immediately and can't be responded to. It can't be countered or stopped by cards like Phyrexian Revoker.
