But in my scenario, you could just concede the murloc shaman match-up since even if you manage to take a 20% match-up to a 30% match-up, you're hurting your other games considerably. As I see it, a ban is effectively conceding the match to begin with. Lets say there is no ban and everyone just plays 3 decks. This means you have one less deck to plan with when making your lineup. It's not uncommon for the 4th deck to be the difference in match win or loss. Each player only playing 3 decks means that it's much more likely every player only brings 3 of the most powerful decks. If there are 4 decks with no bans, this means you have to play another game and a half or something a match on average. Tournaments are too long already, which again, is probably part of the reason why the format is changing. A fourth deck and a ban simply brings more deck diversity. Again, the actual strategy behind it has nothing to do with playing the game and is about glaming information you can on scouting and knowing the meta. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. ...
