    This leyline deck is basically the same mono res we had before, just a turn or two faster. Without it, its still possible to win turn 3.

      Into the Maw is only good vs leyline, it's not good vs their creatures at all. Actual removal is better but 8 of their creatures will still dmg you if you remove them so they could pump in response to get value. It's a lose lose that favors mono red.

    *IF* this is actually a problem - and to be clear, I think it consistently winning turn 3 is already a problem - you ban Sellsword. This Leyline is a stupid card to design and introduce, but it does come with a genuine cost to consistency. Everything else the deck does has redundancy so banning any of that won't help. Sellsword's Adventure is the enabler, the finisher, *and* removal when you need to extend the game, and I don't believe it would affect any other deck or archetype if it were gone.
