I'm curious what we see on August 7th's ban announcement. I can't imagine anything is going to be touched in Modern, definitely not Standard. I could see Historic nerfing The One Ring by making it have text saying "Only 1 copy can be in your deck" which would be a fantastic upgrade in my opinion. I could also see Historic nerfing Orcish Bowmasters but I don't think they're going to hit that one right now. It's a shame because of how many decks suffer from the ping but I don't think that's enough to warrant changing anything right now. Elves suffer, soul sisters/lifegain kinda suffers, those combo decks with Yawgmoth may or may not suffer much. Aggro is already difficult to play but I don't think it's that hard to overcome.

@mike

The announcement for the yearly (plus post-PT) B&R updates only mentioned paper formats but it seems like as good a time as any to update the arena-only formats too.
