Everyone is talking about Rakdos being the strongest atm and what to ban from it, but can we also just talk about the lack of adequate sideboard tools to disrupt Red and Black?
Everyone seems to agree that something from Rakdos Midrange / Aggro needs to go (which I wholeheartedly agree) but seemingly as Wizards has once again managed to find this format dominated by not 1 this time but TWO different iterations of decks using Red and Black (Rakdos Demons / Rakdos Prowess), rather than them doing the unenviable decision of having to ban a card from each, can we just talk about the fact that [[Celestial Purge]] isn’t even in the format?
In M20, every colour got an upgraded Colour hate spell and rather than printing into Pioneer the tried, tested and true, Wizards gave us this unplayable garbage instead: [[Devout Decree]].
Now in Foundations, they had a chance to amend their mistakes when they reprinted another cycle of colour hate spells, some members of the cycle being ORIGINAL members of the same cycle that CPurge came with way back in M10 like Flashfreeze, but instead they reprinted Devout Decree AGAIN.
Like seriously wizards, WTF??
