Episode 244: To Ban or Not to Ban, Scam is the Question
No one fully understands the timing of the upcoming B&R announcement, but public opinion in Modern is swelling around Scam. Is it time to make a change to Modern? We look at the deck's performance, play patterns, and popularity to consider Wizard's options.
The Dive Down boys are divided. Some of us like the deck! But it's insanely popular right now, and the Grief play patterns can be pretty annoying. Messing with the ban list seems a bit awkward during the Modern RCQ season, but maybe saving people from the turn one Scam play would be a welcome change?
The Dive Down: Luv2Grief
The Dive Down, cont: More of a Dauthi head myself
The Dive Down, still cont: This discussion isn't dead after all
