PINGERS RUINED THE BEST MTG ARCHETYPE!!!
Years ago; when commander was fresh, Norin reigned supreme. Not because he was the strongest or the best-equipped. Quite the contrary, he was in mono-red before 2018 which meant he was as poorly-equipped as EDH gets. What he did have though, was pure, unbridled, unhinged chaos. The deck was fun. It was exhilarating. It brought life to the format. And then this asshole attacked. Fucking Purphoros.
Okay, sure, pingers existed. Warstorm Surge and Pandemonium were costly enchantments and the lower CMC one had big drawbacks. They didn't protect themselves and they were just another small part of the package until fucking Purph. Once that asshole burst the balloon, every set had to have a 2 drop enchantment or dwarf or something that dealt damage when a creature entered.
The fun and exciting archetype that was ETB tribal or Creaturefall became a shadow of its former self. Cards like Confusion in the Ranks fall to the wayside for boring streamlined shit like Impact Tremors? What happened?
You deserve better, MTG community. You deserve so much better.
