Id love chat added but i would swiftly be banned for calling people nigger faggots. After buying gems playing the game just for daily wins seems pointless and stupid so i havent played since i finished foundations. Ill be ready tomorrow for pioneer masters though. The draft format seems pretty good.

Standard is hot dogshit even Bo3 is just various flavors of Screaming Nemesis Mouse piles. Unironically they need a banlist pretty soon it's quite bad and the same is true for paper.

It needs to be something like

Monsterous Banned (red has turn inside out now they don't need 1 mana +3/+1 Trample)

Manifold Mouse Banned (best performing Mouse and the biggest issue in the package in reality)

Beanstalk Banned (this card has been a problem in other STRONGER formats, we don't need it stinking up standard still. It has unfun play patterns with the overlords and is making cheating 7 cost spells EVEN BETTER)

Sunfall Banned (there are a billion boardwipes in white, one that gets around death triggers AND gives you a big ass guy has been shitty for like a year now)

Jace Banned (This is mostly to hit Azorious Control's biggest wincon rn so that they don't take over everything. Without Jace they need a better win con and can't just mill you for 45 on turn 9)

Deep Cavern Bat banned (Black is hard to hit rn they don't have any CRACKED cards individually just a very annoying package. Given everyone hates this fucking bat anyway easy ban that makes Blacks Turn 2 pretty worse)

Doing this would make aggro unplayable, and UW control is already unplayable. Beanstalk and sunfall are the only ones in this list that you could remotely argue for banning.

Mono Red can 100% live without monsterous and manifold.

The other mice still exist, Nemesis still exists and frankly Red has amazing tools they aren't even USING because the low to the ground strategy is still so damn good. Squee for example is still in standard. If you think Mouse and Monsterous are so important then frankly you haven't been paying attention to the evolution of red aggro.

I'd also point out Monsterous specifically is the cause of both Mono R AND Gruul Aggro being big decks in paper and mtga in bo3. Monsterous has proven to be far too efficient and Manifold Mouse is close behind, maybe even more of an issue. These bans would give red a huge pool still, it's just banning the tools that are so good they are defining multiple decks in the meta.

I'm mainly talking about monstrous rage, which every red aggro deck runs. Manifold doesn't really matter because it rarely sees play in bo1. It's far from the best red creature and imo you should be asking for either sell-sword or slickshot to be banned instead.
The low to the ground strategy is not good and loses to removal which is omnipresent atm, and banning their best card would make the deck t4 garbo

I think that Monsterous being banned would not remove red from the meta, they were still a deck before it and would still be after. Acting like we can't hit good cards in top decks because it would hurt them is retarded, yes it WOULD make red worse. It wouldn't make it unplayable.

Can't tutor it and I don't care about playing non-instants/sorceries anyways.
Big concern is card draw, as I've found myself otherwise able to combo but not having any cards to discard. Thinking of adding brainstorm instead of spell pierce.
