Weird they didn't mention the Mystical Dispute bug, still going on btw
Should be fixed in our May build; didn't make it in time for this one
Just ban Paradise Druid, then people can play spot removal for Pridemates and Empyrean Eagles...
Which is the problem, a 1/1 for 1? Or the Hexproof creature, pumped up to be a 10/10 or whatever, that is literally impossible to interact with?
Hawk is non-interactive in its own ways. A large Paradise Druid can be answered in ways a large Hawk can't - say, with a Foulmire Knight to block or a bunch of tokens to attack around it and race.
To be clear, all three of the decks I named were at levels that could justify some kind of action. We would prefer to hit a single enabler that crossed many problematic archetypes than do individual cards for each. This was an opportunity to do some good in a lot of places with (relatively) minimal upheaval.
Why there's nothing from the Cycling deck getting banned? Cycle deck will easily dominate this event after being showcased by SaffronOlive.
We don't love doing preemptive bans, and this was locked in well before Ikoria even came out, let alone any specific piece of content. If this deck is as prevalent as the general expectation, there will be some action for next time.

Last time we ran an Artisan event, Hawk had a very high win rate and play rate. We were pretty surprised to see it, so we dug in a bit more, and it turns out it was a meaningful component of multiple top-performing decks: lifegain, enchantments, and flyers. The numbers were extreme enough that we thought it warranted action.
@MTGfan2000#07562:Read more@Some Rando#19759:There is a huge link to that page from the forum homepage. It's the first thing you should check when something's wrong with Arena. Also, if you check official WotC posts in forums, which are sorted in chronological order, link available from forum homepage, you see Lexie mentioning about daily deals and also sharing the status page link.
