3 of top 4 are various forms of Eldrazi. Then, there's Affinity. So, who thinks there will be an emergency ban before SoI comes out?

AlternateNu posted:3 of top 4 are various forms of Eldrazi. Then, there's Affinity. They made a compelling argument as to why there won't be an emergency ban on the stream yesterday: There's only been one emergency ban ever... and the card they banned people were quitting the game over. Now people know that in a couple months any serious problems will be addressed, so they don't really have that problem. Edit: also, I've had to put up with like 2 years of siege rhinos in standard. You can deal with eldrazi in modern for 3 months.

Well this also comes on the heels of a really contentious banning in Modern so it's going to be very poorly received

Meatbag Esq. posted:They made a compelling argument as to why there won't be an emergency ban on the stream yesterday: The game was also a lot smaller back then, which meant people leaving the game because of something degenerate had a lot more impact than it would now. Could the Eldrazi deck warrant an immediate ban? Maybe. But as you said, likely it will not - because unless 'pro players' started leaving en masse because of it there's no public face to force their hand. A few players who stop playing for a couple months (or forever, I guess) is no skin off their back now that the game is as big as it is.

Is the eldrazi deck even that difficult to sequence? Seems to be a lot of misplays being streamed etc.

This affinity player is killing Eldrazi left and right. His sideboard tech is brutal as well. Edit: although stony silence and worship are going to crush this.

Is it just for formality that they stress that the players only have access to the other persons decklist and sideboard but only between games of the finals? I mean I'm sure everyone playing on day two were looking up what everyone was playing online once they got back to their hotel rooms that night or had their friends texting and telling them what was going on between rounds.

So ☆~price memory ~☆ is it always a thing? I thought it was mainly a problem for staple cards, not those that shoot up because of decks that are about to be banned.

Why did they make a big deal about equipping signal pest with the cranial plating after attacks? Why not suit it up and then swing?

Pest is 0 power, so it can attack under bridge, once attacks are declared you can move the plating and get some damage in. Edit: Holy beaten

Cards in Faeries all shot up because of people speculating on the deck over Bitterblossom unbanning and don't go in anything else and the deck isn't played and those cards are all still elevated.
