Ladies and gentlemen, Hydreigon stocks just went up with the last round of bans, recommending specs and scarf in particular if you haven't tried them.

They'll likely release it about mid next week, if indications are accurate.

I see, I can understand the sentiment when I think about the ripples into other SV metagames if you don't enjoy OU. Thanks for the clarification.
