One of the pieces of feedback received from the Bar Cube event at CubeCon this year is that, because players' decks are 25 cards instead of 40, drafting a full 45 cards feels like a lot.

I don't know what the correct draft pool size should be, but I'm going to start by removing 1 card from each draft pack (now 5 packs of 8) and reducing pools to 40 cards.

Removing some of the problematic pieces like Brotherhood's End which just hoses the affinity deck. I am also removing mill as an archetype.

After this edit I saw I missed one card - pithing needle has also been removed to make a total of 15 :)

• Whispering Snitch was too powerful as a 1 power creature and has been errata'd to a 0/3
• Case of the Gorgon's Kiss never materialized and is replaced by Cruelclaw's Heist
• Rath's Edge has been errata'd to have to sacrifice itself to deal one damage. Sacrificing other lands was too repetitive and there is no way to destroy lands in this environment so opponents couldn't do anything to stop it.

I want to add additional cards without increasing the Cube size beyond 180, so I'm moving the scry lands from 3 each down to 2 each.

Some small balance updates.

I have also errata'd Dracoplasm to no longer have flying.
