This might not surprise most of the community. With the release of the latest set, we found a new card that needs to be removed from the format ASAP. We are talking about the Jeweled Lotus. WotC designed this card for a multiplayer commander and it is not intended for 1v1 games.
This is the first time the committee ever has to do an Emergency Ban and believe it is necessary for the health of the format. As a group, we hope there are no further Emergency Bans needed. However, should the need arise again in the future, such announcements will appear on the first Monday after the Wizards have shown us the entire set.
Banned as Card
Jeweled Lotus
Auto include in 99% if not in all decks the format offers. Fast mana that can tilt the board in favor of the player that draws it first, adding just variance to the format. We try to push the game to be skill-based as far as it's possible and this kind of card won't help to achieve that goal. We also hope this message reaches the community fast enough before players proceed to buy it and add it to their decks. This is another reason we don't want to wait till the next ban list update.
Date of entry of changes: 13/11/2020
As always we are looking forward to your feedback.
