Historic Was Better Before Field of Dead / Please BAN in Bof1 like Nexus I have almost only been playing Historic recently because this isn't my favorite standard meta. Field of the Dead – Similar to Once Upon a Time, Field of the Dead is constraining Historic in much the same way it affected Pioneer: it's having too large of a damping effect on controlling and reactive deck options. That require the exact perfect draws to do that. I hope they unban it in standard next. Dunno, I play boardwipe tribal/mill, so it's not been much of an issue. Historic.

I play many decks, my angels list just happens to be the one i find most fun with a high win rate, but I don't want to feel forced to only play certain decks just because of 1 card. I'd really like to see a variant of Wasteland that was "destroy target land with an activated ability that isn't a mana ability". Create a problem (unban FotD) and sell you the solution (Historic Anthology II). Field of the Dead spent four months suspended in Historic. Sadly we're being introduced to the bitter taste of eternal formats: threats, answers and archetypes don't matter. Should it be banned all together? Mono white life gain is a pain in the ass.
