Howdy gamers!

I look forward to the day that we will be covering multiple formats in these updates including Saga, Alliance, Ancients, and more. For now, we will give one last Ancients update ahead of the Into the Accordlands launch.

Ancients

In the last update we touched on format philosophy and speculative bangers from Into the Accordlands. It holds true now as it did then that any issues that presented by new cards will need to first arise, second prove resilient to correcting factors such as format adaptation and additional new cards, and third egregiously break format rules. As far as the existing Ancients card pool, the format seems overall to be in good health. Diversity in the field of playable and competitively viable cards and decks is a major indicator health, and through that lens we grant the Ancients Format another three months without interruption.
