I should start by making it clear that this is not a suspect test of any sort. Rather, this is an opportunity for us to examine one of the most common "what if" scenarios to pop up over the years. While there have been several small tours featuring the format, a ladder is a whole different ballgame assuming enough peeps give it a shot. We'll be getting usage stats to check out at the end of the month, which could give us a decent glimpse of what a Laxless metagame would look like.
For now, I'm wondering how you all feel about GSC without the queen. What do you find benefits most from Lax's absence, and what's in decline? Are there any creative sets you've toyed around with that Lax would otherwise render unviable? After the first week or so, what are your general impressions of the format?
