Breach is a card that should have never been printed.

I have no fucking idea how it got past playtesting. Yawgmoth's Will was, for a long time, the strongest non-power card in Vintage.

Daze, Reanimate, and Entomb existed for years without being a problem. Banning them would IMO be a sign R&D screwed up somewhere else.

I too would like to see Bowmasters gone, along with The One Ring, mostly so I can save my store credit. I'd rather drop $200 on ABUR duals than a playset of cards that can be reprinted or always have the banhammer looming over them.

Completely agree. I also think THB wasn't tested outside of limited, and I think nothing was starting with WAR.
