I wouldn't put it past WotC's website to have access to articles based on your system's clock :laugh:
Guess that would explain why everything's upside down at that company.Quote:

Saw all of that coming. I am not disappointed.
We have all these ridiculous decks, and here I am just innocently wanting to play tier III decks with my Earthcrafts and Frantic Searches. Thwarted once again.
Yeah, I think this is a good call, all around.Quote:

Bummed that Misstep dodged a bullet, but this is otherwise a solid announcement.
Workshop restriction would have been a travesty, but Thorn is a good hit. As someone buying into White Eldrazi it's not great for me personally, but Thorn's a bullshit card (and White Eldrazi can always try out Wingmare or some extra Thalia THC). Sphere can be more powerful, but I find Thorn to usually be one-sided.
Mentor needed to go. I suspect the deck will still be Tier 1 if they just replace 3 Mentors with Pyromancers.
Now that I type that out, I'm not sure this announcement is enough to actually change the Shops v Mentor dynamic . . .
Sure, but Pyromancer is a linear growth plan, which is a lot less explosive and easier to deal with (especially since -1/-1 effects wipes Pyro and the tokens).Quote:

I am a Stax player, I think that is fairly well known by now, and I can not see a flaw in this other than thinking Sphere should have taken the hit over Thorn. But hell, it is what it is, I am more interested to see what happens next. I am thinking about trying to build with Clamp and Genesis Chamber again. This is not a bad thing for Vintage.
For Legacy I think that was the right call to not ban anything, brainstorm is the ultimate spell of the format, but since Legacy is the only BS format, I think it will be very hard to take a strike. BS is just so good, it is a cantrip that also gives you virtual card advantage by shuffling away two cards that are not good at the moment, all at instant speed, its just so strong, I would like to see someday the format without it, but I don't know how people would react to it. Anyway without BS it would power down both delver and 4c control the 2 top decks, probably delver more, but still it would change a lot in the format, so I understand them not moving before the protour, and I think its right to wait.
What I really wanted was to see some unbans on Legacy, there are things that will be part of only tier 2 decks, so why not unban and bring some diversity up on the format.
