They said they were going to fix it and the best we can do is take what we can get right now. I'm literally not even playing standard or anything and spending the time getting deckbuilding fodder like Clever Impersonator, Purphoros, God of the Forge, Guild Signets, possibly the Mirrodin talismans I've been holding off buying, etc. There are still modern level cards in the giant pile of garbage that is the incoming Hour of Devastation, and the entire set is basically EDH the gathering so we got that much going for it at least.
I may be negative about Magic the Gathering in terms of support for non-rotating formats, but when wizards declares they are doing something about an issue they are damn well doing something about the issue even if we can't see it. If they fail to start addressing our concerns in Ixalan, then it's time to start bringing out the pitchforks and torches.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
Yeah, I don't care. It can't be too difficult to make a Limited format that isn't completely ripped in half by a card like Doom Blade.
Limited is my specialty. I can say for a fact that doom blade and the likes NEVER made draft unfun or unfair. But Billy got 3-4 doom blades in his deck I cannot beat that. Well your table should not have passed that many to him in the first place. How is there that many doom blades present at the table and no one didn't cut cut or splash? Seriously these arguments were the epitome of stupid. Maybe he opened them. Well luck is a thing and you cannot beat luck I don't care what your skill level is. Its a factor of the draft. Accept it and play or don't and play something else.
