You can't tell me these random ass legendarys aren't leftovers from the quick pivot away from Aftermath boosters after no-one bought. They read like precon face cards lmao. Also, this is a really sweet design mechanically. Lastly, glad to see one person forgo the Cowboy hat.

I like that Modern and Pioneer are getting changes. I'm not going to discuss changes I'd like. What I do NOT like is that they are doing this weird pseudo-announcement of format-warping bans, but not actually pulling the trigger. This means that the formats are dead for ~a week.

***disclaimer: I am a Hammer stan*** I've seen a lot of different "ban" takes in modern, and it's interesting that Boseiju doesn't come up much. The fact that it is mostly free for Cascade decks, Amulet, and Yawg to have answers to the best hate pieces is kinda wild 🤷.

I still find this mind set to be old & out dated held by people who can't adapt. if 24 hours kills your tourney performance then you weren't going to win. if a ban forces you to buy a new deck that you can't afford, you shouldn't play magic in a competative way.
