@likeClockwork7 3 года назад

I agree with CGB's assessment that WotC has shifted to printing cards in standard that they fully intend to ban later. We went from bans almost never to bans basically constantly in a fairly short amount of time in standard; it's not coincidence, it's not a run of bad luck. It's a shift in priorities. Secret Lair: The Walking Dead is further indicative of this shift in priorities, I feel.
