[[Nicol Bolas, Dragon God]] gonna also be a sad lil' lizard like normal planeswalkers. "You forgot me..."

(Also, thanks for your daily-shop posts, you saved me the trouble so I can pass on today's one)

We sent Bolas and [[Chandra, Fire Artisan]] to their rooms with everyone else. They do *technically* have passives, but they really aren't going to work the way players would want, so we thought we'd save folks a little pain.

And, uh, it looks like [[Jace, Arcane Strategist]] got hit with the banstick despite having a viable passive? That's an error on our part, but at this point, we're probably gonna let it ride. Sorry about that. :|

Don't know the best way to send feedback on the event, so here's this comment. Thanks for the event, awesome change if pace and I had a valid reason to play an not that great WBR Knights deck. Also cool to see some of the other decks people used, especially since I didn't run into too much meta outside of RDW.

Looking forward to the next one.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
