Banned Cards in Standard should be Banned in Alchemy
If a card is banned in Standard, it should be banned in Alchemy, period. The Alchemy format is now flooded with Invoke Despair decks with Bankbusters that just moved over to Alchemy.
Today was the Lord of the Rings release day... and for some strange reason, LotR is only playable in Alchemy... and for some strange reason, banned cards are still allowed in Alchemy. This completely ruined Lord of the Rings release date for me as I just went up against Invoke Despair after Invoke Despair. It was once cast on me three turns in a row in one game. Could not even play the new fun cards today. Totally shameful WotC. FIX THIS.
Edit: Oh I forgot... the other banned card Meathook Massacre was also seen being played a few times today. Mono black ex-standard was just having fun wrecking everyone's fun on LotR release day.
