The March 9, 2020 Banned and Restricted announcement is live! Here's the full list of cards in every format.

Field of the Dead

Legacy:

We should expect a significant metagame shakeup due to these changes, as well as significant drops on Underworld Breach and Once Upon a Time. It is notable that Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista were mentioned by name in the section regarding Pioneer's lack of changes, but it's not yet clear if we will see these banned in the future.
