Militia Bugler is a Goblin Matron/Goblin Ringleader split card.

I think they could explore unbannings before banning anything. Stoneforge Mystic would be a good card to start with. Scratch that! Ban KCI, not Mox Opal because I play Affinity.

Ancient Stirrings - for the same reason ponder and preordain are banned. Street Wraith - It's a power enabler that also offers consistency.
