Yeah I think this is pretty much how the vast majority of the player base feels right now, the question is whether Wizards will do it
Friends were discussing whether they might do the cop out again and ban some of the enabler cards, mostly [[Shuko]]
There's a decent argument that Shuko and anything else that can be activated an unlimited number of times should be banned, because this isn't the first time a combo like this has come around. But I think this article does a good job making the case that Nadu is broken even apart from that. (That doesn't mean Wizards won't hide behind a Shuko ban anyway....)
Yeah for sure, in the context I've learned that Shuko has been tearing up other formats for a long time too.
I'd expect that Nadu would still be nuts with other utility if they stick to the Shuko ban. So yeah, curious to see what happens
