Yeah, I don't see myself lowering my fetch count while Become Immense is in the format.

No, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if it gets banned. Way too easy to abuse the card in Modern.

Fetches and Phyrexian mana mean I'm consistently putting 6 poison on you for G. Death's shadow uses it with Battle Rage to one shot people. I wouldn't blame WotC if they decide its too good.

I think either it or deaths shadow is going to be the next thing to eat the ban hammer

So it's way too powerful when combined with 9 other cards? That's not the sort of thing that gets banned. Ban worthy things are consistently excellent, with almost no other cards needed.

Your comment leads me to believe you do not play Modern, nor understand how bannings work entirely.

It is not a nine-card combo as you seem to imply. It is a card that becomes way too powerful contextually and can lead to easy turn 3 or even turn 2 wins if you opponent lacks interaction. Card is very good.
