Once Upon a Time, Field of the Dead, Veil of Summer, and Oko, Thief of Crowns are "suspended" in Historic #MTG #MTGHistoric

The good news: there doesn't appear to be a dominant deck in Historic. #MTG
The cards added through the Historic Anthology 1 are appearing in 20% of high-level decks. #MTG
However, Historic hasn't been as popular has Wizards expected. And there was a 3x play rate in the Best-of-1 release event than are the Best-of-3 competitive queues, which Wizards sees as evidence that players prefer Bo1. #MTG
Wizards is calling these "suspensions" instead of bans because they believe that the digital nature of Historic gives them more flexibility to add these cards back into the format at a later date. #MTG
Wizards hopes to use the Historic Anthologies to add answers to problematic cards in Historic rather than suspending cards...or even permanently banning them. #MTG
Dominaria will be returning from January 3–16 as a Historic Ranked Draft format. #MTG
There will also be a high-stakes Constructed tournament January 11–13 that will award a top prize of 40 Historic packs "and more."
