I've been playing Magic long enough to remember when a 3/4 for 3 mana would need a pretty significant drawback to even be printable. So I'm still surprised when they come out with broken nonsense like Nadu, even though I shouldn't be by now.
This Pro Tour had lopsided numbers and non-interactive games and just wasn't much fun to watch. Wizards should consider it a disaster, but whether they will probably depends a lot on MH3 sales numbers.
The stats are hardly the main issue. Creatures today are way stronger than back then, and we could easily have a 3/4 for 3 at common. For Nadu, it means it cannot get bolted, ok, but the issue is the ability wording.
You are right. Unfortunately, we can expect wizards to ban Shuko first, as it is what they have done in situations like this.
@readthemessage undoutably, they can't admit that MH3 was a mistake too quickly
