  • This deck isn't living past March 31. The question is, what's going, Breach or Opal?

    • Six copies in the top 8 -- that's one more than Nadu did, if I'm not mistaken.

      If something gets banned, my guess would be Opal. If Breach is banned then Opal can go on to enable any number of other broken decks, but the reverse isn't as true.

      Having to re-ban Opal just a few months after un-banning it will be an embarrassment, but I'd wager they'll still do it.

      • I feel like the opposite, while Opal was the straw that broke the camel's back here, there are a lot of less powerful decks that heavily depend on it (Affinity, Asmo Food, Lantern Control, Hardened Scales, Hammer Time) whereas Breach is really only necessary in Breach combo decks. It occasionally gets used in Prowess or Ruby Storm but more as a flex card. It's also just a busted card banned in several places anyways, it's not like it's a fair card taking the fall for something else.

        I feel like it worthwhile to at least see if Opal can stay unbanned without Breach in the format, and if it continues to be a problem hit it on the next list
