    Well, I guess I have not been to Standard FNM in awhile to know the age group. But, if they make Standard more like Legacy, I'm more inclined to play it.

    On top of that, the more Standard...

    That's right. Clear out the rubbish. Let's open the way for Combo Winter 2.0!

    Well, I was totally wrong. Looks like we're in for COMBO KALADESH STANDARD!

    I, for one, could not be happier!

    Yeah, because control is a bad archetype and should be banned.

    See, now, Kaladesh is actually making me seriously consider playing Standard precisely because, from the spoiler, it looks a lot like legacy. A bunch of combo decks and control decks trying to do...

    Not just that, but WotC has to let traditional U/W control be good in SOME format, doesn't it?

    Yeah, and someone at Wizards would be looking for work.

    I guarantee Divine Intervention would be banned if it had the same casting cost as Scheherazade (Sharazad lol).

    Let's be fair here. The principal of the banned list really should be that a card is legal unless there is a specific, evidenced reason why allowing it to be played does bad things to Magic...
