See the announcement below for the full explanation as to why.

Announcement ----> Banned and Restricted List Explanation

This basically puts a hinder into any token deck in this format, Souls was just way too powerful it seems, it's not even 2 months old and already got banned from one format, what's next, who knows. Virtue also got the ban hammer due to the fact it's enabler was very over powered, for a 2 drop enchantment that plays mostly white, this plus Honor of the Pure basically meant 3/3 flying, vigilance tokens would always hit, no matter what and it was driving people mad i suppose.

The Effective Date this starts is April 2nd, 2012 and it starts on Magic Online on March 28th, 2012 so enjoy playing those tokens on MTGO for a little while longer, you've got 8 days to play, well that's it for this edition of the emporium, so until next time this is vergil signing off.
