Default December Banned List Update

From EDH Forums:

Grindstone is UNBANNED

Painter’s Servant is BANNED

No Other Changes

Painter’s Servant has been the fuel for unpleasant combos, most notably with Grindstone and Iona, Shield of Emeria. The latter two cards occupy some interesting design/deckbuilding space, so we’d like to see them in the format. Swapping Grindstone/Painter’s Servant seemed like a natural fit to bring back a decent card and get rid of the true offender.

Calling Painter's Servant the "true offender" and implying that Grindstone has any potential without it are pretty blatantly wrong, but I appreciate that they want to keep their banlist as small as possible, and I'm glad something was done about the Iona/Servant lock.

What about Painter's Servant with Teysa, Orzhov Scion?

I think it was mostly the release of Iona, Shield of Emeria that sealed the fate of Painters Servant in EDH.

Degenerate combo's that shut all players out of the game seem to ruin things for all but the caster...
