Good bans. I still hate long standard but not much to be done about that.
They keep reinventing Extended every four to six years, which was the old rotation schedule of Extended lmao. They would solve a lot of problems if they brought the format back and actually maintained a banlist. The format died due to U/B Faeries followed by Stoneblade pushing everything else out.
I‘ve actually started to like long standard, but imo this calls for more supensions (Not necessarily bans) keeping the 4-5 S-Tier decks in check to leverage on the huge card pool and take a chance at a really good meta with more variance than ever.
The format balance is healthy but it’s just boring seeing the engine/staple cards for so long. Beans and Rage are perfectly fine power-wise but they just set the deck types way too much and everything has to conform to those cards. Sure, the threats have changed but the framework is stagnant
