I don't think 4c Blood needs any of its own cards banned to weaken it but, perhaps as lowman said, other cards can be unbanned to make other decks stronger.
In CMS Season 1, RDW won 10/52 events and Azorius 9/52.
Season 2, RDW won 11/52.
Season 3, 4c Blood has won 8/43 while White aggro has won seven. In terms of percentage of the metagame, 4c is much lower than RDW was. In terms of match win rate, 4c is much higher. As mentioned before, most commonly only one copy of 4c exists per event. Frequently, not a single copy is played. Maybe on two occasions, there is more than one player using the deck.

ML: The phrase you're looking for is 'rub salt in a wound'
Is there a way to know the new mtgo edh metagame since the last banlist?
This is very difficult. You two imperfect choices:
1) Look at the challenge results. Pro: 32 un-curated decklists. Con: Only has decks whose pilots can carve out Saturdays 15:30-21:30 to play an event, which is a horrible time for AustralAsia.
2) Look a the recent 5-0 league decks. Pro: Updated daily. Con: If two decks share 91 cards then it will only be listed once. Only shows 5-0 decks, won't show the X-1 decks.
Again no door prize this time. Players keep dropping if they lost early. Even with 12 or 13 players usually just 2 or 3 are eligible,I think 5 was a rare maximum. This time, the only eligible one for not dropping had won the door prize this month before...
Maybe, we should raise the winners prize to 5 instead, and cancel the door prize ? There are 2 events, that pay out regularly 10 tix to the winners, some others 7 tix, 5 was definitely the lowest main prize before our prize reform to 4 tix for the winner. So, it may be rather cosmetically, but it could be better to have 5 tix for the winner,too, to attract more players and be on the same level as Heirloom and other smaller events. What do you think?
Can we keep the door prize and decrease the X-1's prize pool by 1 to make the winner 5 tix?

I mean with VS you can finish a league and get 4-8 treasure chests in an hour.
With Breya/Tasi and the additional wait time to get paired, it can take twice as long.
He just decided to spend his time elsewhere
