CAPTAIN'S LOG: DAY 2

when they let the Italian Americans talk about bans

HAHAHA fuck I fuckin knew someone was gonna say something about my hands

excited to add some more interesting cards in place of the banned cards/clones and to revisit old favs like these two:

my first reaction was being super bummed out about mana crypt but after thinking about it a while I think it will be much healthier long term, making fewer t1 land+ mana crypt+rhystic/wheel hands that slingshot one so much ahead in mana and cards

I’m gonna moving into bant and Sultai (ishai/thrasios - Tasigur/Glarb) but if they can’t deal with the incoming increase in RogSi then I just pivot to RogSi like everyone else lol

dockside was easily the most strong card in the format, I think even if the RC did ban from comp balance perspective that would have to go sucks that that held a lot of fringe decks together too, but such a warping card can't be healthy for the format

Honestly im more sad about nadu going than i am excited about new stuff, but if i had to pick im gonna give Tayam another try. That was my baby before Nadu and now i can run my OG foil wall of roots again

It feels like the meta will shrink, with clear winners like Kinnan and rog/si being way ahead.

The problem is rogsi really didn’t get hit from this and every other turbo deck did, rogsi Is going to be the undisputed king in terms of turbo and just win

I honestly can't wait to hear your guys's opinions on the recent bannings. I am curious what all the dockside decks will do now, if they are just dead or if they will pivot to something like... Sticker goblin I guess?
