Can't wait to have fun in Standard again.

Ouch. Been a while since I've been hit by a ban

Glad about Beanstalk and Cutter though

I think they hit a wide range of cards to really rebalance and shake up the format. I think that Stormchaser's Talent probably should have gone instead of This Town, and I think Omniscience should have gone instead of Abuelo's but I think they hit a wide range of decks with these enough and I'm glad they did it.

Beanstalk hurts because that was driving a LOT of jank and artisan decks, so that is a painful loss. However it is just far too busted with too many cards in Standard right now and it's too much card advantage for nothing. I just am sad to lose it.

I feel like Jeskai Prowess, Golgari Roots, and Mono Black midrange are doing to start cruising though.

In several years, This Town will join the glorious list of cards that make people go "why did this random draft chaff get banned?"

I don't even play standard, but I've seen it and this is amazing news

They weren't taking any chances. Still glad though, right now it feels like it's better to overcorrect than to not go far enough

Though I don't think we've had this massive of a list in a long time, maybe this finally wakes them up to tone the power of the format down

Oh I didn't even see the Historic changes at first, Counterspell feels like a good addition to the format

I think the Abuelo ban is kinda bullshit. Is their stance that enchantment reanimation well only occur at 5+ mana value for the next 4 years that Omniscience is legal?

What deck is playing omniscience fairly in main deck or sideboard? I know they mentioned some other powerful enchantments but those don’t allow you to combo off while tapped out the same turn.
