So wife got me a Dominaria bundle when she was at barnes and noble today. Stopped opening packs halfway through the 10 because pack four and five didn't have a rare/mythic in them.....
One had 4 uncommons and a foil common and the other had 4 uncommons and a foil uncommon cast down. Seems to me that the foils replaced the rare/mythics

I'm watching the Dominaria Pro Tour right now, and I can't tell if I love Fight with Fire or hate it. I love that once red players hit 9 mana you aren't safe at 10 life or below, but it really seems like a giant RNG-fest in the draft games.

There's 28 of them in the Top8 of the PT. 7 R/b or mono red aggro lists and 1 Esper control deck.

It's almost like RDW was competitively viable with garbage cards in standard for decades, off of the raw advantage of being a proactive low to the ground deck that punishes stumbles in a format that is traditionally a bit higher CMC and more stumble-prone (due to inferior mana-bases/card-selection); and then they started giving it non-garbage cards.
The reduction/powering-down of face-burn was accompanied with an extreme increase in average creature power-level for the color.

I mean.. you aren't wrong, but the problem is more the diversity and resiliency of the threats. Scrapheap scrounger, heart of kiran, bomat courier, Chandra and (to a lesser extent) walking ballista are the problems. Otherwise, control would feast on these decks with sweepers. Fumigate does almost nothing against most of those cards, and you can play around settle. The RDW looks like the exception in the top 8, it's the R/B decks that really crushed. A random aggro deck always has a chance to just highroll it's way to top 8.
