Happy about Eye (not Temple) ban. Slept on Visions and Thopter. Oops. Golem seems a bit harsh right after Chalice but I'm not a Shops player.

Bummer about Lodestone. I haven't played Vintage since last summer, but Shops was my deck when I did.
Still, on days like today it feels good to play Legacy.
I just bought a playset of Jace vs Chandra duel decks just for the Ancestrals. That feels awful.

That is awful... Enjoy your 100 Islands and Mountains. :tongue:Quote:

Restricting Golem was a really shitty move. Super disappointed.
Jesus Christ... today was a financially good day to be hitting F5. Swords and Foundrys sold out, too.
Potentially a competitive Enchantress deck. It's like the Stage/Depths combo - not very interesting in a vacuum, but it just so happens to enable a unique deck which is interesting and does contribute to format diversity.Quote:

The real question is whether or not 4/10 possible common taxing lock pieces [4x sphere, 4x thorn, 1x lode, 1x 3ball] moving to Sphere of Resistance is too much for the mana base to sustain (honestly it might be with the reemergence of crucible/standstill decks). I don't think it's all doom and gloom for shops in the long run, yes it's probably too severe in the short run, but I'm thinking a restriction like this opens the door for R&D to print a different type of taxing artifact (that will get restricted, but will ultimately help define the optimal/healthy number of viable taxers for the shops archetype).Quote:
