Sneaky Alchemy/Historic updates (lemmy.ca)

Looks like they banned Fable in Alchemy ahead of rotation and Nerfed Crucias to a 3/1. Seems like a big change for both formats. Crucias now dies to Bowmasters. Will we continue to see rakdos dominate both formats?

Wow really? No announcement or anything?? I mean, I like the Crucias hit but I'm surprised to see Fable going.

I'm actually not surprised by the fable ban. It's leaving in less than 2 months. It's not worth nerfing it because they would likely then need to revert the change for historic. It shakes up the meta for the summer. All in all good call here. Might make me try some alchemy again since it just seemed like it was pre ban standard with Crucias and one ring added.

As someone who plays Historic, the Crucias nerf is welcome but it's still an annoyingly strong card, just easier to remove
