Can’t wait to have fun in Standard again.
I think they hit a wide range of cards to really rebalance and shake up the format. I think that Stormchaser’s Talent probably should have gone instead of This Town, and I think Omniscience should have gone instead of Abuelo’s but I think they hit a wide range of decks with these enough and I’m glad they did it.
Beanstalk hurts because that was driving a LOT of jank and artisan decks, so that is a painful loss. However it is just far too busted with too many cards in Standard right now and it’s too much card advantage for nothing. I just am sad to lose it.
I feel like Jeskai Prowess, Golgari Roots, and Mono Black midrange are doing to start cruising though.
Ouch. Been a while since I’ve been hit by a ban
Glad about Beanstalk and Cutter though
Does anyone know when Arena will reflect these bans
the announcement says its effective as of june 30th, so i’d bet a release of arena is due out today or tomorrow that will have the change.
I can’t wait to see some Final Fantasy cards in standard now.
To be clear, not because I like FF or UB. I actually get pretty annoyed by UB. I just want to see some new decks get played.
In several years, This Town will join the glorious list of cards that make people go “why did this random draft chaff get banned?”
I think the Abuelo ban is kinda bullshit. Is their stance that enchantment reanimation well only occur at 5+ mana value for the next 4 years that Omniscience is legal?
What deck is playing omniscience fairly in main deck or sideboard? I know they mentioned some other powerful enchantments but those don’t allow you to combo off while tapped out the same turn.
I don’t even play standard, but I’ve seen it and this is amazing news
They weren’t taking any chances. Still glad though, right now it feels like it’s better to overcorrect than to not go far enough
Though I don’t think we’ve had this massive of a list in a long time, maybe this finally wakes them up to tone the power of the format down
Oh I didn’t even see the Historic changes at first, Counterspell feels like a good addition to the format
Counterspell feels like one of those cards that you’d think is legal but for some reason it’s not. With Historic’s current power level, it makes way more sense for it to be there now than when it was added to Arena with Strixhaven.
