The first time in a long, long time I built some decks before the tourney.
Today, I must find out that poison, miracle and dials were also banned and all my decks need at least a modification. All of them are illegal now.
These bans mean that all participants will probably use all the same 2-3 decks. IMO it was fine before the new bans and I was really looking forward to this tourney. Now it lost its attractiveness - at least for me.
Let's be honest, shut down the opportunities in a very restricted tourney has RNG-heavy consequences. I will probably take part but I liked the rules as they were yesterday.
Instead of the bans you could say "X number of Sparks have to be used in the deck".
