We had a hoor who did that in Legend of the Five Rings tournaments at conventions when I was a kid, didn't realize it was what she was doing until I was older and looked back on it. 9-10 year old me just ignoring her and taking provinces while she was spilling out of her get-up.

Looting Ban is going to change the shape of the format a lot. Doubt it becomes a 4 turn format again tho, so lol Stoneforge Mystic.

Well knew Stoneforge would get unbanned at some point. Amazed faithless going banned, since it what let a lot of decks on the spectrum even be a viable deck.

Rampaging Ferocidon unbanned is fucking dumb lol because of how much time it has left. But it does fuck with scapeshift a bit and help dinos.

I've been out of the loop for vintage so don't know the why on the restrictions but I can see what Karn and the Forge would get it.

I mean dredge and shops are generally the best decks in vintage so it makes sense. faithless looting is close to ancestral recall with flashback in the decks that want it so i'm sort of surprised it took this long. I get that it's not just powerlevel though, sometimes you keep busted shit around because it enables archetypes that you want. Stoneforge might see some play but if that's the powerful shit you're doing nobody is going to give a shit.

i kind of figured they'd try banning some of the side pieces before going straight for Hogaak.

I would play Modern again if my Nahiri Emrakul deck or some other similar Jeskai midrange control deck was good again.

Well you better start shopping for some new sleeves, Because with the looting ban and Stoneforge being unbanned no way Jeskai doesnt come back hard.

I mean the format is still going to have many very fast decks, there just won't be as many graveyard decks. Dredge is still a deck though and if less people play GY hate it'll be a thing.
