Let's ban SoG but not NJ.
I nominate Mayhem and New Jerusalem.Mayhem is a powerful card at all times, as are most dominants, but when it's drawn in your opening hand and you go first, your opponent will lose the game most of the time just from that one card. Besides that it's a major boon to speed and I despise speed NJ is pretty obvious, but the main point is that it both contributes to soul drought by allowing you to get rid of 3 of your 7 cards, as well as removes almost all incentive to run anything but a speed deck (since SoG+NJ gets you 40% of the game all at once).

Good way to slow them down as well.
Thaddeus - Stops opponent from using his cards. Also makes Disciples decks pretty cookie-cutter.

AoC isnt so bad anymore. There's enough ways around it now.
I would like to highlight that banning cards effectively regresses the game back to a simpler state of being. Reason: when the most powerful cards are banned then there will be new powerful cards (and human ingenuity will find new powerful combos). Ultimately, are you guys wanting the game to be reduced back to simple math? My 4/4 Mark is battling your 6/6 Judas. It is for this reason that I will continue to stand against banning both of the official and unofficial kind. To me, talking about banning is just a pool of negativity and complaint. Look to the positive of powerful cards...the further development of this great game! I welcome the -1 punishment that I will inevitably receive from you. I will stand EVEN IF I have to stand alone!!111!!!one!!11!!
