Heading towards CIS-2020.

Tokh, your opinion is certainly important, but it doesn't determine the rules. If, as you say, the vast majority want to play HotA, then no one will be able to stop you from doing so, and there will be 90+% HotA games, and even someone as "eccentric" as me will eventually join in, although I see that OFB, only XL, and War of the Wizards, for example, are played on SOD, and there haven't been any major protests. A mix is a compromise for the two versions, so it will be included.
P.S. - I'll be glad to see you.
