So I think enough time has passed now that I'm not going to get attacked for for bringing up Vial Smasher and it being pretty busted in the format. Does something need to be done or is it cool to just let it be? Instead of banning it maybe we should just unban other stuff like Marath to create balance?

I was saying it right as it was spoiled that it will be broken when paired with Kraum.
Check the mtgtop8. Partner control has 17 decks, out of which 9 times it was on the first place. Thats pretty insane.
I don't think they ban him right on the place, but he is too op for 20 life format. Wonder how it would be if they would let 25 HP. Nevermind. I think they need to unban few things as you proposed, like Marath. But I think that the partner ability is making him so OP. He wouldnt be this strong without access to blue.
I wonder if just banning the specific Vial Kraum partnership would be an option as opposed to just banning VS as a general completely. However this begs the question of whether the other partner options like Thrasios or Reyhan are fine.

Idk, just brainstorming
Anothrr tournament, VS + Kraum is 4 times in first 8 decks, also placed 1st. I think VS gets the hammer. Kraum isnt that strong, And you can still pair VS with Ludevic or any UG general just for the colors and have similar results. The problem it the VS with access to blue. I dont think partner cards are outright broken.
I really don't want to see VS to get the hammer if possible but if I'm being completely honest I'm biased as I love the deck. I've been waiting for a Tier one BR deck for a long time. Kraum is a big part of the decks success and I don't think Ludevic would give similar results. A 4/4 flying haste that draws cards is not joke. Especially when it also triggers Vial Smasher for 5. That's 9 damage the turn played and in a 20 life format it's a really big deal. Ludevic and Thrasios just don't apply as much pressure. Even without VS, Kraum can hold his own as a decent win con.
