Thank fucking god for the Bowmasters nerf, X/1’s are no longer pseudo-banned from Historic anymore. The Ring nerf doesn’t seem that bad, it does slow you down a turn rather than being able to just drop it turn 4 and blank an opponent and draw a bunch of cards. We’ll see if Historic is fast enough to handle it now

Wow I love these nerfs, really good upgrades and I think this is a great thing for the format as a whole. This kind of stuff makes me happy to play Historic and continue with it. I think it’s one of the most fun formats in Magic, and I don’t think either of these downgrades will make me stop playing the cards. What they will do is stop making them so over the top oppresive. Even the one mana on The One Ring is a big difference. It can’t replace itself so easily to the opponents removal next turn.
