Like it or not, a looting ban would drastically hurt modern

Oh, you mean how keeping Looting would hurt modern pre-MH1 because of how hated the Dredge-Phoenix meta was? Hogaak has quickly given us Stockholm Syndrome, just end the problem now before this card keeps warping the format even more.

Pod, DTT, and TC getting banned in one go put a lot more people out of decks in one go than Faithless Looting would. Modern survived. Twin and Bloom getting banned hurt the legitimacy of modern because people thought that it meant modern would become a format with pseudo-rotation where T1 decks get banned every year. Modern survived then, and it would survive now. Getting banned out of decks suck and people quit over it. Health of a format should take precedence over people relying on broken decks to keep playing the format. Looting has been a problematic card for too long and the sooner we ban it the better, since the problem is just getting worse.
