Wizards reversed its earlier Zeta Set Pauper ruling on September 4. Ten first-time-common Zeta cards become legal in tabletop Pauper on September 7, while Narcomoeba and Price of Progress are preemptively banned. Magic Online implementation follows September 23. Baleful Strix, Vandalblast, Dispatch, and Cut Down are explicitly on a short watchlist ahead of the October 12 and December banned-and-restricted checks.
