The Meathook Massacre Banned In Standard, Diviner Of Fates Rebalanced In Alchemy
The banning of The Meathook Massacre in Standard goes into effect tomorrow. WotC is also taking action of Diviner of Fates in Alchemy, rebalancing the card by removing two points of toughness from the creature. Making it a 2/1 will allow more interaction to be viable against the card-advantage creature.
