#9: Darkness Ablaze Prerelease, Standard BANS! & Analyzing Meta's Past - a podcast by gyrosean

It's Darkness Ablaze Prerelease time! We chat about our kits, our pulls, and our thoughts on Prereleases in general (spoiler: Sean is probably way too into the format). Also, we can't overlook the biggest Pokemon news of the week: The upcoming BANS of Bellelba & Brycen-Man and Mismagious from the Standard format! Our thoughts on why these bans happened now and not before. Finally, we dive into the recent article published by Stephane Ivanoff,  "What is a Good Format?", and even do a little research of our own on Virbank! Let us know what you think of our findings. 

Also next week is our 10th episode, and it's a Q + A! So please send us questions in whatever way suits you, including this awesome Google Form if you want to stay anonymous.
