The stuff, they banned it in Standard.
The single funniest thing about the Uro ban is that it pushed people into trying Omnath in the Temur Adventures shell - which it turns out is an even higher power deck than the previous Omnath Ramp...
Uro and Fabled Passage at the minimum need to go. Winota and Ugin can take a hike as well. I'm just assuming that everything in Zendikar is off limits for bans right now. Those four plus Lucky...
Goodbye W6, yet another non-blue card sacrificed to the altar of Brainstorm.
Standard has been to various degrees fucked for awhile, and it's always due to the same reasons: lack of safety valves and lack of answers.
Remember when Red was so bad that they had to ban...
I think Stirrings gets hit because Tron has a ready replacement in Once Upon a Time, and Tron is the only deck that consistently has kept its head above water through both Urza/Emry/Outcome and...
Those are guesses, the announcement isn't out yet. There is no way on earth they hit Oko while they're still selling Throne.
After looking over the Mythic Championship results, this is my final guess for the B&R announcement today:
Standard Bans:
Field of the Dead
Nissa, Who Shakes the World
Hydroid Krasis
Modern...
Cards that beat down Field of the Dead before Throne of Eldraine rotation happened:
Alpine Moon, Blood Sun, Field of Ruin, Rampaging Ferocidon
Commonly played cards that hurt the Golos/Field...
The problem with Golos Field in standard is there's literally no way to interact with the deck, and you can't go under it or over the top of it. So it's got a huge win% vs. everything but itself. ...
Emergency ban incoming on standard and modern, B&R announcement moved from Nov. 18 to Oct. 21st.
Field of the Dead is gone in Standard (how they thought this would still be an ok card after all...
No, I meant Emrak and Brand in Modern. People forget, but before Phoenix and Hogaak made various GY hate cards the most played stuff in the format, there were a lot of stupid Modern decks based...
I'm amazed that Ancient Stirrings didn't get hit. That card has never been in anything resembling a "fair" deck, its the single best cantrip in Modern, bar none now. That plus the London Mulligan...
Sometimes I wonder how much the printing of the Storm mechanic had to do with the rise to dominance of Blue/Brainstorm decks.
Before Storm decks combo decks were exactly that, a combination of...
Color aside, no. Color factored, yes, because the fuck up the format. If you don't have to leave blue to get the best creatures, then you don't have to leave blue at all, and given the power of...
If they'd just admit they screwed up in giving blue in Legacy the best creatures AND best spells, and kill all of Snapcaster/Delver/TNN/Leovold, the format would still be brainstorm centric, but at...
Stompy lists would never run it, they avoid all 1cc spells as part of their design.
Turbo Depths honestly should have been running it, and would have started to given enough time.
I think they should ban Delver of Secrets.
Yeah, I've said it for awhile now, just ban stuff until Wild Nacatl is playable. Or until Goblins is Tier One again. I mean, that's basically the same thing.
I think the printing of Delver more...
For example, Astral Slide is much more likely to be playable in a format without fetchlands. And I think that's something we can all agree is a good thing.
I think it's their aversion to universal answers. The problem is that all threats are always universal.
The main thing i've taken away from development in playing a bunch of standard on Arena is that making wraths cost 5 and rampant growths cost 3 is really shitty for the game overall.
Just in general I think we should ban everything until Zoo and Rock are both playable again.
I'd love to see fetches banned. I just know arguing for that is pointless because it's not going to happen.
