Guys, the sky isn't falling. People were underprepared for Workshops. Yes, something probably needs to be restricted, but in the Article I'll be writing I will be writing a clear argument that it is NOT Mishra's Workshop.
Culprits: Phyrexian Revoker, Foundry Inspector, Walking Ballista, Arcbound Ravager.
Those will all be cards I talk about. Relax though, and have a good sideboard plan, and we'll get through the Shop Dominance.
Besides, let us take a look at the workshop players:
I totally agree with what you're saying about these players. They deserve their victories. These players are masters of this format and have correctly identified that Shops was practically guaranteed to be in the finals. I don't think that it proves there isn't a fairly clear issue that could be addressed. I would actually sooner count it as evidence of the opposite.
I have never been dissuaded by your abrasive mannerism to view you as anything other than an astute observer and excellent vintage magic player. I think it's hard for people to be objective and I suspect you're still riding the adrenaline high of your recent windfall. Congratulations on your performance at Eternal Weekend this year.
