No early game removal is going to hurt this set
Yeah yeah, early in the format. Whatever.
But a quick thing I've noticed is that there is no efficient early game removal in this set. I think we're going to find not having 1 mana removals, like [[helicarrier strike]] [[stab]] [[shock]][[unsummon]][[go nuts!]], in the format is going to be rough. And conversely, I think many of the problems people are citing would be fixed with having some of those cards in.
I'm personally enjoying the set, I like shutting my brain off and playing agro. But we'll see how we all feel in a couple weeks.
