This is one of those weeks. One of those weeks where we have something so important to talk about that we put the opening stuff before the intro. One of those weeks where everyone involved with this show, not just the people making it, but you, the viewer are so excited and overstatic about something they had anticipated coming for the good of their game for months and months and months and while some dissenters were against this change, it was a change, a ban for that fact that almost everyone had been waiting for, and resulted in us complaining on this show about the lack of something like an emergency banning on nearly every show for nearly two months.

For months, standard was in a state of stasis but you know what…Aaron Forsythe finally realized, you know what, this does suck, and this is what he had to say: [network clip].

So let’s draw.
