Banned and Restricted List Updated
Aetherworks Marvel gets the boot.
From Wizards:
"The Aetherworks Marvel deck that has been the largest part of the competitive Standard metagame since the release of Amonkhet is not a fundamentally broken deck in the traditional sense—its win percentages against other decks in the metagame doesn't paint the picture of true dominance (despite some prevailing opinions). ...
...But win rate and metagame share aren't all we consider. We've spoken with a variety of Standard players in recent weeks, from pros to local grinders, on the merits of banning versus not banning, and here, at least, there was a virtual consensus—the card Aetherworks Marvel is not healthy or fun for Standard."
