    I think giving players a week notice before making the announcement is more responsible than saying nothing and then just 'boom, banned, you bought your cards and now can't play them.' This way people on the fence about purchasing will likely hold off, rather than speculating about 'when will they address this'? It isn't perfect, but it's better than cold turkey.
    I am fairly sure that they are dealing with the online-first formats intentionally, because Modern is still a Grand Prix format so it still has relevance in paper, while the relevant results from their perspective for Legacy is pretty much Magic Online.

    Of course, right now paper Magic is virtually irrelevant for data purposes, so the cynical answer is that they need to sell Lurrus in paper.

    ayy, assuming Lurrus does get booted on Monday I did for once do everything right in deciding to wait it out this time and quit Legacy entirely until the inevitable ban. Last time I actually bought the Breaches and Freezes and never got to play them before the hammer hit. At least they were cheap...

    There is nothing stopping them from converting all Modern GP's into Pioneer GP's, especially once they get Pioneer developed into Arena. I don't know if that is literally their plan, but it would make perfect sense. Modern has become another Legacy for them: a problematic older format to manage. MTGO will continue to exist for Vintage/Legacy/Modern but Arena will be Standard/Pioneer.

    Hell, they could even use covid19 as their excuse for converting all planned Modern GP's into Pioneer. Never let a good crisis go to waste!

    They want to sell Modern Horizons-like sets, otherwise the audience is just the Commander players and a more direct product serves that purpose better.

    Absolutely priceless. Particularly enjoyed this one:

    We go back and forth subverting the usual rules of Magic the Gathering. Luckily the two 15-cost creatures in my hand can be played for free on prime number turns, keeping his attacks at bay. My Guardevore the Evergrowing is a 12/13, as it gets */+1 for each Companion in the game. Both these creatures have ETBs of some description.

    Followed by this:

    People only remember interaction between cards they play, but no one remembers certain cards can interact between players.

    Small sample, only 8 decks, latest legacy prelim has got 75% of decks with Lurrus, including Elves.

    It's kind of funny that the "Most Played Cards" section below those decks for whatever reason doesn't take into account companions

    I got a very good laugh at this!

    Are you trying to imply that Homelands wasn't the best expansion ever? Shame on you.

    Just for "Fun" - what would be the best deck if you can run as many companions as you wanted? Some sort of Lurrus Yorion Zirda nightmare?

    Edit - actually, doubt that would work. The best way to abuse Yorion includes Strix and Ice-Fang. . . probably just Lurrus Yorion then . . .

    I would never deprive Fallen Empires of it's rightful title.
    But I meant on a wordplay level. Pioneers leave their homeland.
