So why should we believe it's going to be different now?
We shouldn't.
As a content creator, I often emphasize that we shouldn't press the panic button or overreact to what comes out in the Spoiler Season before we test and play with the card and see how its deck works and see if the format can adapt to the archetype before calling the card broken or asking for a ban. But Storm has compelling precedents at Pauper, it has only lost Gitaxian Probe over the past eight years, earned new toys and its base remains entirely intact while the other decks don't really have enough to stop it. Recently, we saw Storm cards going into Historic like Grapeshot and Mind's Desire through Mystical Archives, and players thought they were going to break the format, but the archetype is not even among Tier 2 decks because the format lacks the elements needed to make Storm work. Pauper, on the other hand, has plenty of it:

. Particularly, I fear that Storm will continue to be too efficient for the format and, even though it has more answers now, the combination of Chatterstorm with First Day of Class is powerful and could cause the format to totally change its way of building decks, needing to consider the rebirth of a threat that had been buried for the past eight years: Storm decks.Ad
