You’d expect that to happen as potential interactions increase, I assume. I’ve always wanted to learn how to use a modelling tool like TLA+ or something to find breaking issues in games - like first turn wins (that isn’t just Exodia in Yugioh)
Many of the recent bannings haven’t been accidental combos though, they’ve just been power creep. Wizards is in a tough spot these days because Commander players and people playing cube want a constant stream of new cards that have to be usable in an eternal format.
One good result of this power creep, if anything, has been that Wizards is increasingly willing to _unban_ cards which are no longer overpowered.
Read up on the Power Nine sometime. They mostly look innocent but would lead to first turn win decks.
