WotC Hasbro CEO is going to have a Fireside Chat With Investors Over WotC

The proper counterspell wasnt included naturally, it had to be added via a direct to Modern set.

I would encourage anyone talking along this line, to look at the actual meta of Modern and realize that its Tempo, which is the real issue, not hard Uxx Control. Same as Legacy.

Top 3 look to be a Tempo deck, a linear 'gotcha' aggro deck, and a red/black disruptive (discard) aggro deck.

Control is way down the list, and outside of some very short and specific periods, has been for the last like 8 years.

Control these days doesn't always mean counterspells either.

I don't mind counterspells draw go not so much but it's been around 20 years since it was good.
