That makes a lot of sense. I follow the lichen growth on my fence more than type 2, so I wasn't aware of the discontent. I watched a little of the carnage of the modern chimpdrazi invasion. I do think banning a bunch of mythics over time will eventually hurt type 2. A kid pulling/buying a $30 mythic then being told to shove it up his ass a month later is miserable.
