@mtgaaron@twoduckcubed@Murk_Lurker A+ announcement. One big ban update a year is a huge improvement. When bannings are frequent too much discussion about competitive formats is about how could the format be changed to be "perfect", at some point players have to engage with the formats as they are.
@mtgaaron@twoduckcubed On bannings: I think normalisation of bannings has done a lot of damage to competitive formats. I believe a meaningful factor in metagames stagnating recently is due to a player base being trained to just wait for the top deck to get banned rather than trying to develop answers

@PocketJacesCast@VoxyTwitch "This mana can only be used to cast artifact spells or activate abilities". Is a bit weaker because you couldn't pay for something like a Mana Leak but is actually readable.
