Rogue Refiner

Artifacts Not To Blame

I still find the artifact = problem correlation weak, at least as it relates to their colourlessness. Aetherworks Marvel used a mechanic that tied it to a colour combination; it would still have been problematic if it were a UG coloured artifact, and it became a problem with the printing of Rogue Refiner, a nonartifact. Smuggler's Copter was such an obvious error every commentator it raised it as a concern on sight. Artifacts are a scapegoat for Kaladesh's flawed design, not the cause.

Artifacts aren’t to blame for Kaladesh. Or Scars of Mirrodin. Or Mirrodin. Or Antiquities. It’s the individual design of each of those sets and not the mechanical connection that binds them all together. And it’s a complete coincidence that the one set with an artifact theme that was woven into colors (Shards of Alara) is the only one not to break. : )

Gatherer Update Delay

Heads up, gatherer doesn't appear to have been updated with the latest bans. I checked Rogue Refiner and Attune with the Aether and both show as standard legal.

I’ll mention it on Monday.
