👁️ 👀 Our team has been keeping an eye on recent gameplay and discussion, noting that a few play patterns have proven more powerful than intended.

It turns out keeping the Old Gods in check isn't easy. To curb some of the madness, we're temporarily banning Reincarnate in Wild and Divergence, Bat Mask, and Reach Equilibrium in Standard.
