Jesus. Sounds like a cheaper Vintage.

That's pretty much pauper since day one. It was always 2-3 decks making up +80% of the field and the rest an assorted collection of misfits. After bannings the format opened-up but quickly came back to its usual self. There has been steady variation on what the 2-3 decks at the top are (for ex, UR / U / UB alternate regularly). Affinity was always there or there about and Tron also finds it's way to the top every now and then, most often after bannings.
TL;DR: No news.
Re: All B/R update speculation.
Hey, at least they managed to ban the cards that can permanently modify a commander without jumping through too many hoops in Historic Brawl.
That has to count for something, right?
Other than they don't do shit about basically every format at this point.
Re: All B/R update speculation.

3. U/R
4. Lands
5. U/R
The day before's:
1. U/R
2. Doomsday
3. U/R
4. Lands
5. Lands

Format is full return to monke.
Hilarious.
I like how nobody plays even a full set of Delvers anymore, one list had none.
Might as well unban Mental Misstep to fight the monkes.

If you ain't using the monkey now, sell it while you can.

It's so surprising that a 1 mana does everything card is broken.
Who could have known?
At least it's legendary which is a downside and therefore it's totally balanced.
Re: All B/R update speculation.
Seeing as Wrenn and Six was allowed to run amok for 5 months and Oko got a generous 16 months before they figured out one card combos might be a thing, I'd expect some rumblings for a Legacy update sometime late spring next year, at the earliest.
They don't care about Legacy

Yeah, and that's exactly why they decided to make it 2/1 for 1 to make up for the legendary drawback :wink::laugh:

Maybe if enough people get behind the 60 island plan.
Someone could make another sign for their parking lot.

He could have had hast to be fair.
Since, I'm so out of the loop, is modern also full monke or is he not as strong there?
Re: All B/R update speculation.
Modern does not have Daze, so it is not possible for them to parasitize and inflame first player advantage.

Chatterstorm is banned.
Sojourner's Companion is banned.
60 islands seems to be the way to go.
It seems stupid to ban Sojourner and leave Enforcer but here we are.

I feel like letting a monke loose in the building is a more focused message, chimping out, defecating everywhere, letting them feel our pain.
Although it comes with the risk of it being promoted to head of R&D.
Re: All B/R update speculation.
The monkey is still legal

Looking at the numbers, he seems to be in about 25% of decks in both formats.

Ban probability is bell shaped.
If a card gets too prevalent it's a "pillar".

What % of paper MH2 have they sold so far? (lagged paper demand from Pestilence)
Once they've hit their profit targets, then they can ban it before the secondary market can profit too much off MH2.
Re: All B/R update speculation.
People are lobbying heavily to get Daze banned, what do you think?
