    A deck without DRS? I am sceptical this is a thing. Who won?

    I woke up early to watch this, but I am already done with it. Watching the same deck/45 cards round after round gets boring. That's probably why at 5 am PST there were over 12,000 viewers and now it is down to 7,000 viewers.

    I still say the way to fix the format is to ban stuff until Slide and Zoo are playable.

    And honestly, the best way to do that is to hit the blue creatures and every card with the word "storm" on it.

    That was a pretty disappointing day of Magic, to be honest. It felt like Leovold vs Delver and NOTHING ELSE (except we had Sneak that one time).

    I'm not one to advocate for bans; and I even play 4c Pile myself, but I am starting to get on board with the "DRS gotta go" train :(

    Please day 2 have some cool stuff to watch.

    As much as I love Astral Slide, I am so glad the Source is not the arbiter of the legacy banned list.

    Well, Mr. Morgan_coke manages to mention his love for astral slide in virtually every post. Devotion.

    I’m certainly no better. I recently found myself wondering how long the trip would be to Alabama for this event. Typical American, I suppose.

    There was one exciting thing in this match: the grixis delver guy was playing bomat courrier main :)

    I'm ok with not banning anything in grixis delver as long as they are required to run 4 md bomat courier.

    People having to go to work might be a major factor.

    A few interesting rounds, but there is way too much Grixis Delver and Czech Pile on camera. Is that the actual metagame at Birmingham? Is it what WotC thinks we want to see? I'm hoping it's the latter. The last few major events haven't been nearly as inbred as this looks to be.

This will be both an economically feasible AND sensible move.

    Why not ban delver since all of the delver decks have coalesced into one deck? I feel like it's low risk and high upside

    I was hoping to see talk about if Lands was played not what to ban. I thought we had a thread for that.
