someone accused a person of being a sex offender with absolutely zero evidence. your contribution to the discourse was saying you agreed despite also having zero evidence and not even being aware of any accusations. if the problem here isn't immediately obvious i don't know what to tell you

OK so, A, yes, do not throw around that accusation casually (although the first was phrased as a question and could have been a confusion for some other person I guess), and B, please export discussion of shitheads (or non-shitheads) in the industry to the industry thread and not here, thank you.

Why would they ban it in a week if they just decided not to do it until Crimson Vow?

Currently, we are restricting these changes to digital-only cards, where there will be no conflict between a digital and printed version of a card. We would like to expand beyond this (for example, by rebalancing previously banned cards so they can be safely returned to play in digital formats only). There are multiple clarity and communication problems we will need to solve before we can consider those types of changes. This is something we plan to work on in the coming months and, since it bears repeating, would only affect digital formats.

Currently only rebalancing the digital-only cards, but they want to do it to more cards later.

And unlike the past eras of power level errata, the current rebalances include random tweaks rather than "this thing is way too good in a way we didn't intend"

IDK, why did they say they were going to wait and see on cat combo and then ban it 3 days later?

The rest is an exercise for you, dear reader

You're not wrong, but Cat Combo was a lot more dominant, and IIRC that was back when they did scheduled bans, right? The situation is different enough that I suspect they're just going to wait for CV. It's soon enough that there's no reason to not just wait I guess.

Jund Food is a miserable experience to play against in Historic too and the only saving grace is watching the entire deck grind to a halt when you have Yasharn and the backside of Reidane out.

Don't worry, 83 days from now they'll ban it and we'll all get paid. It's important that they take their time in making sure the most obnoxious card in the most powerful deck in the format needs to go.

I mean ,that was the point of digital cards.

The revelations about their plans to "patch" banned cards for arena is a bad idea, imo. It confirms for me their intent to make arena a casual and digital only format. I definitely expect digital-only standard cards within the next few releases.

they seem like they want to do things with *historic* as a digital only format (since it is) but I really doubt they will bleed that over into formats that you can play in paper, like standard

Also triggers Blood Artist infinitely.

The real lovely move though is if you're on the ropes and you can do the combo without interaction on an empty board you Draw the game.
