Memory Jar: As was mentioned in the March 1 anouncement, several cards were banned in order remove fast "Combination Decks" from dominating the Standard environment. However, Urza's Legacy has introduced another card, Memory Jar, that lends itself towards that same deck archetype. Many players have brought to our attention that this card, while perhaps not as strong as some of the other cards that were banned, is nonetheless strong enough that its presence diminishes the tournament environment.
