I'm actually happy that they banned draheera. i've been seeing way too much gheist around, and they still have 2 good 4 stars (annibal and methane) and leviatonn

Spyke - No explanation necessary. Who didn't see that coming.
Lehane - Not as much to weaken Sentinal but to stop it as a splash in many decks.
Daheera - Weakens Mono Gheist. The problem is that SOA bonus is quite strong so UR decided to nerf the entire Roots and now Gheist in ELO.
Lea & Elvira - Gonna hurt Rescue as they are staples for Rescue but overall still gonna be used by newer players and Rescue fans
Kerry & Sledg - Can fight SOB and helps for stronger high starsin Rescue
It's actually much more balanced than one may think - sure, Kerry and Sledg are pretty cool, but so was Lea and Elvira, so advantage for Rescue via this announcement isn't that big.

5 characters banned
and 2 unbanned un-bann an equal amount 5 for 5 or 2 for 2

So Lea and Elvira gets banned but Kerry and Sledg gets unbanned. Rescue users in ELO, you guys exist again.

Every time I see a rescue hand, I cringe a little inside. Sledg return was unnecessary. They already have 3 usable 5* cards and adding sledg only aids them against the bane of rescue, SOB.
