I think most of the confusion for Paradox Engine's banning is why now and not 20 months ago?
The RC/CAD is between a rock and a hard place.
Ban it early on and be criticized for not giving it a chance.
Give it a chance and be criticized for not banning it early on.
They chose the latter, which I tend to agree with.
if it took this long to realize it was a problem what game are they even playing?
there's giving things a chance, and then there's not doing anything. the card's been out so long its rotated out of standard... that should have been plenty of time to say hey wait a minute, even in decks that use it "fairly" its degenerate.
i don't think servant should've been on the list to begin with.
i also don't agree with the iona ban. sure, she sucks if you're in monocolor, but you need to be prepared for her, that promotes creative deck building, creative deck building is good, answers are good. sure, unbanning servant and then sticking iona is a blowout... but if you're able to do that consistently good for you i guess? its not as easy as people would think.
anyway, engine's ban should've happened about a year ago. card is ******* dumb. just. ******* dumb. it has created more OOPS I WIN scenarios than any other card i've experienced in the past 10 years. people who say they run it fairly oops into a win almost every time too. its degenerate as **** all.
