WotC. WotC never changes. The end of Historic occurred pretty much as we had predicted. Too many cards, not enough money or wildcards to go around. The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons, as always, purely human ones.

Do people just use wrenn and six *instead* of Bob now? I dont see Bob showing up on Jund lists, yet he’s still up to $75. Or are people running both... or is he key in another deck? I haven’t been playing Modern for about a year

Price memory is a hell of a drug. Most Jund builds I've seen run at least 2 W6 and the usual cut is Bob.

It's the haste that sells it for me. Without it I'd be way down on it, but with it, your worst case is Draw 1, gain 3, eat removal on their turn, which seems fine. Well, unless you play it into open black mana, in which case you silly.

Tl;dr: he got a game loss r1 for submitting is _preliminary non final deck list_ 15 minutes late. Then had a game restarted due to crash when opponent was dead on board next turn. Lost the restart because the draws were different.

15 minutes late 2 weeks in advance, so they could iron out any potential card interactions. WotC digital :swoon:

Williams is and always has been a bit of a diva. He taints the narrative with the whining about the decklist penalty, which is 100% on him.

I just enjoy the idea that they need it two weeks in advance so they can make extra sure that particular card combinations don't blow up the client on camera. Off camera? Meh, who cares.

How much of Standard needs to be oko+krasis for Blightbeetle to be good?

Even if 100% of standard was oko+krasis, Blightbeetle wouldn't be super useful. A two mana 1/1 needs to do more than removing a counter from Oko every turn to be good. Preventing Krasis from landing is only dealing with half the problem and in many match ups, the last impactful half of it.
