Just an idea, which could help wotc get real and actual data from a proposed bannings/unbannings as well as help them sculpt 'coverage'...all while not impacting the format until post PT....or perhaps then making adjustments to the 'proposed bans' too... Could actually allow wotc to use the PT as 'testing' and experimental event for a better grasp and understanding of how to best move forward without impacting the format.
The problem is that the Pro Tour is frequently not representative of what the overall meta is like. It's not anywhere near as inbred as the World Championships are, but there's still that element of trying to "next level" the rest of the field.
Even worse, a large chunk of what decides the top decks are how well the players do in draft, which is a completely different thing from Modern.
thoughts?

Normally this sort of post would get a warning, but we are being lenient over the next few days
