Hi everyone,
The Archon Council decided to put a change up for vote. You can vote on the following change:
Unban Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath as a Commander in Archon?
You can head over to our discord to cast your vote! You have time to do so until 15-07-2025 20:00 CET.
Here are the reasoning for the proposed change:
Uro has been banned in Archon for his ability to outclass both control and aggro decks, due to his recurring nature and nearly unstoppable resource advantage, making him a dominant force that warps the meta around him.
While these advantages of Uro didn’t magically disappear, Magic has changed a lot while the Giant has been sitting on the bench. The format has gotten significantly faster and threats have become more self-sufficient and game warping. Testing showed us that Uro isn’t capable to outrace modern aggro decks by default anymore and has to put in work to get the upper hand. Simic falls short of on-board interaction, which leads Uro to be exposed to resolved threats as well as defaulting to more prolonged games means there is always room to come back for the opponent.
While he undeniably still is a powerful Magic card, he’s much more in line with the powerlevel of more recent command zones we see. Since Uro has been banned for being above the powerlevel of the format as a commander initially and this not holding up anymore, we propose the unbanning of Uro as a Commander in Archon
