Better just preprint it
Lol, carrying around BoW during FNM playtesting must be a nightmare.
I got to see someone make day 2 of gp richmond with BoW. The deck was sweet, double sleeved, and mostly foiled
I saw someone testing it when M13 was standard. He had it double sleeved and carried it around in a fat pack box.
If only I had the money for the wits deck,, what a dream
It's also notable that Modern dailies don't count at all. What actually matters are paper tournaments.
We can thank Dickman for that lol! Also I say that Ascendancy wins it

The first Post-Khans modern tourney is this weekend. We should find out the future of the metagame for sure then, though the Euro meta is always heavy twin.
Some results are from paper, there have been several SCG premiium IQs

The percentages are what is important. TC is approaching 25% of the metagame. That's not healthy, period.
This same argument can be used for other cards. {lightning bolt}, {serum visons}, etc.
