I am gonna tell you right now, that objective framing public statements like what the RC did in this ban, are hogwash. I know this because I have been involved professionally with a ton of product dev/design statements and changelogs.
But hey, you can take this as a simp and be okay with it - and that is fine. It is why these statements are made and why things are explained as they are... people eat it up and are okay with a lay statement, but that doesn't mean there is complete conviction or logic behind it.

No kidding! In the past 5 years they've banned 0-2 cards every year, for a huge total of SEVEN CARDS! That is outrageous! Like, how am I supposed to keep up with this?!
I mean, you can be cheeky all you want - but the rules committee clearly doesn't actually believe in any of the ***** they say. The justifications for leaving the other predatory cards similar to Hullbreacher are absolutely comical.
The reason the bans are out of control is because the format is inherently self regulating up to the point in which a governing body does not believe it to be so. Which is ironic considering how much weight they put on the idea of 'social games' and 'social groups'.
Anyways, as I said, the format is better off without Hullbreacher.

But these bannings are f***ing out of control. Cards like these should find their way out of the meta via group discussions - not the whim of a rules committee. The problem is that it is easier to squeeze cards out of play groups by simple discussion without impacting other groups where LGS postings of a default banned list often override the notion of social contracts. Mass land destruction is kind of a testament to that, as is often times Stax.
