Channel, Demonic Tutor and Tibalt’s Trickery are the only cards banned in the upcoming Historic All-Access event
No complaints here. Channel and Trickery were easily the worst offenders in the last event. I try not to be judgemental about what people play, but I really don’t get the appeal of digging for a single card that is the only wincon. Seems boring to play with and is certainly boring to play against.
I only wonder that if you start banning cards how long until it just becomes historic? Maybe restricting them could be interesting. Either way, I had an absolute blast with the event last time playing a UR Tempo deck so I’m happy to play again.
