As a quick question, is this the single largest B&R announcement in Magic history? Bans/restrictions in 4 of the 5 major formats (Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Vintage), each hitting serious meta decks? I'm a relatively newer player, so I don't know if they've ever shaken up so many formats at once.

It's certainly up there.

The standard banning which hit the NEO meta, and the banning of the Mirrordin artifact lands are all up there too, but were I think more format specific.

@meant2live218 @MysticKetchup some of the Mirrodin block bans were similarly wide sweeping, but had to hit more cards in each deck.
