TL;DR: Cards printed at common in the Zeta set WILL be legal in Pauper (starting Monday Sept 7), reversing their previous decision.

Narcomoeba and Price of Progress are pre-banned

Baleful Strix, Vandalblast, Dispatch and Cut Down are all being watched carefully to see if they cause problems

Disparch seems very strong and so does Baleful Strix, but I wonder how much will they influence the meta.

    Strix seems really good for Grixis affinity but at the same time Vandalblast seems really bad for every form of affinity. I don't remember if there are any affinity builds with White in it, but I can imagine they'll pop up now with Dispatch

    It doesnt need to be affinity to make strix work. Any deck with dimir colours can play 4 without any downside, and if you are not affinity, you are not getting vandalblasted.
