You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
A new modern would be cute, but it would splinter the community. As for the changes, if you don't like them, tell Wizards, it is never too late.
Wizards honestly doesn't care. People have been protesting things that they do for years and with the exception of the Modern Pro Tour, very little has changed.
Part of me wonders, what if they restricted TC, instead of outright banning it, in Modern, would it still be as absolutely bonkers, or less so - even if slightly?
(pardon the stupid question, just getting into modern, I'm not exactly sure if Modern either has a restricted list like Legacy and Vintage, or if it does, actually utilizes it)

Complaining plus unsavory results got Treasure Cruise banned, and complaining gave us a Modern Pro Tour, in the end we are the consumers, and what we say goes. Don't like the changes? Don't go play modern. If the attendance goes down that is the worst nightmare for Wizards, especially with Modern Masters 2 coming out soon.
Well done polls friend, I am glad not to see a linear poll of "was this good or bad" it was thought out with a few different options, the ability o say I like the bans but not the unbans or the unbans but not the bans is great.

If attendance goes down, Wizards will just ban more cards.
people cry for months about Treasure Cruising being too powerful, then it gets banned and everyone cries again. magic players, never change
The difference is that different people are complaining. You make it seem like the people who were calling for the ban are complaining that it happened.
my criticism is that people are always *****ing WOTC, when in reality it's the players who brought this on themselves. People complained about cruise, people played with cruise, hence those who feel insulted by the bannings should complain to other members of the community, NOT wizards of the coast. I really hate this attitude. people are always willing to ***** about those people in position who actually try to keep the formats healthy and balanced.

Technically, aren't we doing that by posting on a forum with other players?

Guess this explains the people voting against the bans.

To be fair most people agree with the ban list update according to the poll but you know the saying about vocal minorities.
