Ponder / Preordain While the easiest explanation for Ponder and Preordain being on the Modern banned list is that they made Storm too good, and while it's true that Storm was near the top of the format when they were unbanned, in no small part thanks to the power of the one-mana cantrips, the better explanation is that they are simply too good and were keeping Modern from developing its own identity as a format
Its a good tool to have in graveyard decks, and it's not the worst card to cast either
And remember, in order to keep the cards in good condition during the games, it is enough to use high-quality playmats to ensure the cards will not get damaged during the game and protective sleeves

Plus, its always good to remember that just because youre a weak card doesnt mean you have to look like it
