Yeah, well, as a non-Jund player I like the change. DRS just did to much, it's not broken or oppressive, but it's almost a one mana Planeswalker.
Keeping an attrition deck like Jund as the dominant deck does preclude innovation for sure, so I think that they've done the right thing. But given that DRS isn't broken by design, it's a card that can be unbanned in the future, maybe when all other colors/strategies have access to 1-mana super-enablers like it.
Jund took a hit, but I wouldn't call it dead. I expect Twin to rise a bit, Zoo (big and small) to come back and the meta will be more balanced. I expected DRS banned and Nacatl back, but Bitterblossom was I surprise (I wanted a control card like Jace back). Don't you guys think Blossom is a perfect fit for Jund? I think you should give it a try.
I disagree. I see unbanning Zoo to be much worse for innovation. Because unless your deck pass the "zoo test" you can't play it. I also consider Faeries to be as grindy as Jund and much more furstrating to play againest.
The ban makes no sense, because jund was not dominating at all, if anything affinity was more consistant in getting to T8. I see people leaving modern in droves if zoo becomes rampant. The deck plays itself and is not fun to play against.
Forcing the deck to run firespourt to combat is going to be terrible. Alot of times it's not fast enough to beat Affinity or other aggro decks like infect.
I'm going to have to see how the format goes. If it's zoo zoo affinity zoo I'm done with modern. Sick of t3-4 aggro decks in the format
I have no idea why BB is worth anything over $5 ever(post standard). I don't think it's played anywhere except EDH. Even if it was unbanned it's a t1.5(maybe even t2) deck at best.

Faeries no

Infraction for format bashing. Criticizing Modern is fine, but keep it constructive
