Are DH + Bears and Dryads too strong?

Seems like its a good build for every matchup.

Bears are probably the best t3 melee in the game because they double as casters (its almost like a 6 food unit since it can fight and heal DH and roar).

Dryads are spell immune and basically a better human sorc since they dont die as easily and can actually add dps to the army.

Granted all the other elf units are mediocre to bad, and NE doesnt have any great 2nd hero to support the DH.

Jitte shows how WOTC and the MTG community are way too conservative about unbannings.

Jitte should've been unbanned 10 years ago. It would've been a niche card then but maybe somewhat playable given format power level.

WOTC literally waited until its been so throughly power crept out of the format before unbanning.

That was not necessary at all, even in 2016, Jitte was barely used in legacy, modern would've been a good format for it, and it was still some slow 4 drop that took many turns before it ran away with the game.

I hope to see way more cards off the banlist. Bring back dreadr return, glimpse of nature, punishing fire (why is it even there, its so slow, no one will even play it), and dark depth (when was knight of reliquary a good card?)

bring back artifact lands even. Maybe they'll be strong with Saga, but its not played in legacy and theres plenty of card advantage gaining anti artifact hate anyways.

Keep banlist for actual broken cards thats impossible to fix (gitaxian probe, tor), or enable bad play patterns (grief, second sunrise).

But cards that were banned for power level reasons (amped raptor) should periodically get reviewed and unbanned after significant power creeps or format shakeup. I personally think amped raptor could see unbanning after phlage ban, and birthing pod could see unbanning eventually.
