B&R Update
Modern - Second Sunrise is banned.
Vintage - Regrowth is unrestricted.
Second Sunrise being banned is good for Tournament Organizers, and for the format in general.  We lost one of the big baddies (eggs) which is nice.  I am exited to see eggs go, as storm is now the fastest combo deck again.  I know very little about Vintage, but I like seeing the restricted list loosen up.
