Yeah I'm not refuting the decision, just stating that it has set a new precedence on how WOTC handles ban announcements. I'm quite neutral on the subject overall, just curious on how consistent their methodologies are.

Yeah but it is usually heavily accompanied by major event paper data. There is no speak of Day 2 presence, conversion or Top 8 finishes.

I guess pure MTGO data is now a reliable source for WOTC to determine bannings.

They also seem to be using the exact same language as the community, speaking of warping formats by requiring anti-graveyard hate cards.

Not sure how I feel about it but it doesn't feel in line with their past approach.
