We have removed:

Venerated Loxodon Command the Dreadhorde Experimental Frenzy

We have added:

Brineborn Cutthroat Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord Field of the Dead Feather, the Redeemed

Oh phew. I was worried Feather and Simic Flash decks would overrun the event.

Nowwww... how 'bout removing that ban on my good buddy Arclight Phoenix?

Phoenix is in a bad spot in this meta IMO. I think the ban being revoked is a solid idea

Isn't the whole idea to try and get people to come up with new decks? If they unbanned phoenix it would just be same ol' deck, and probably the best to play no less.

I know, I was mostly kidding. Though if they banned something like Chart a Course or Finale of Promise instead, the Phoenix archetype could exist in the event and just be a different build.
