The Finisher
This week was so action packed with Twitter drama, social media shade, response articles, callouts, shoutouts, dropouts, mudslinging, tea drinking, policy updates and official announcements that we didn't even touch on Monday's Banned & Restricted announcement! And of course the reason is because... no changes. Thank the DCI gods that no new drama was added to stir the pot, but if you could have made one change to Wizards of the Coast's Banned & Restricted list, what would you change and why?
