Welcome to the newest MTG format called Traditional. There is no ban list, just a restricted list. So far I have not done any testing of the format to determine what cards need to be restricted, however I will be making a restricted list based on that of the Modern banned list. It will be modified as time goes on around the time of a new set release to coincide with Wizards own Banned and Restricted updates.
This is not a sanctioned format but hopefully one day it will be.
The reason I present this format is because like vintage there needs to be a format where you have a smaller restriction on your cards that you can play and you can still use powerful cards and have powerful interactions without fear that the cards will be banned.
A little bit more detail about the format.
All sets that are Modern Legal are Traditional Legal.
