The watchlist represents a list of cards that the errata team is currently monitoring in the tournament environment to ensure that they're functioning the way that they were designed, without causing undesirable interactions or unbalanced situations. If you have any recent experiences with these cards, and reason that you believe either they should be changed, or they should be left as they currently are, please send that feedback to Charlie Plaine (MidnightLich).
