What did we get from the latest BR update?
I know it's early but the bans apart from being very badly timed (middle of season, no time for new cards to arrive) what was even the point of this bloodbath?
They banned Phlange seemingly without amy consideration for Jeskai Blink and Domain Zoo that relied on him. Yes boros energy will survive but the rest of the phlange decks won't.
Summary: they killed 2 decks to tone down boros energy, did it even need another meef in the first place? ...
And then Lotus Field .. titan is probably a low tier deck now... I know some people hated this deck and are happy about this, yet others loved it and spented temenderous amounts of effort to master it. People seem to think it has some infinite layers of brokeness and can recover from any amount of bans... It doesn't. Valakut wad good 3 years ago, not anymore. Even titans aren't that big nowadays.
My experience? Less attendance at the rcq, the domain, jeskai and amulet players didn't show at all, only half of boros players came.
As for the meta it seems that we lost 3 decks and replaced it with more prowess and affinity...
