The restrictions imposed on the use of some cards in Magic: the Gathering tournaments are controversial. What do you think about these restrictions?
Magic: the Gathering is a trading card game created by Richard Garfield and marketed by Wizards of the Coast in 1993. This highly successful card game has had already 16 editions and more than 50 expansion sets. However the DCI, the official body for competitive play imposes restrictions on the cards that can be used in most tournaments. Usually only the latest editions and expansions are allowed in tournaments. This rule introduces dynamism in competition because players need to constantly update their card games and strategies, but also frustration because previous investments in cards become obsolete.

I understand that banning some cards is a way to limit the chances of some decks that show to be superior to others. However I think they could avoid that same effect by simply including a simple rule that brings some more randomness to the game. Like that you can use whatever cards you want in the game but that at the beginning of each play both players may discard (without looking at them 10 cards from their decks). That could make no deck unbeatable and could allow you keep on playing with all cards.

In Magic the Gathering there are various formats and sanctioned tournaments. The truth is that there are a very few cards that cannot see game in none of the formats there are, mostly the ones that changes the "ante" during a game, because the ante was removed from the game long ago.
