The metagame at Arena Championship 6 breaks down as follows, excluding one deck submission that consisted of basic lands only.

Godspeed to this hero

Looks like Boros might be overpowered. Seems likely that Phlage is the suspect, given that it powers all the Jeskai decks as well

I think Guide of Souls is the real issue here. Ocelot Pride and Phlage are certainly pushing it over the top, but Guide of Souls is just an insane card for 1 mana and I don't see how it doesn't get nerfed in Historic at some point.

Yeah, Guide of Souls is deceptively innocuous at first. I forgot about paper cards getting nerfs in Historic. I'd much rather they just ban things than create an entirely new copy of a card that doesn't refund any wildcards.
