For people arguing for the faithless looting ban, I just want to point out something:
Jund, ETron, UW control have gotten a lot of new tools recently. Good graveyard strategies put a reasonable sideboard tax on these fair decks. Two years ago, fair decks were really struggling as their sideboard slots were heavily taxed and they were not able to cover the majority of the field. Currently, I would argue these fair decks have gotten alot stronger and banning looting will significantly benefit these fair decks and allow them to cover the entire field without conceding too many matchups.
I think a Hogaak ban is the reasonable approach to the format but I don';t think its reasonable to go that far with weakening phoneix/.dredge
