TL;DR: Cards printed at common in the Zeta set WILL be legal in Pauper (starting Monday Sept 7), reversing their previous decision.

Narcomoeba and Price of Progress are pre-banned

Baleful Strix, Vandalblast, Dispatch and Cut Down are all being watched carefully to see if they cause problems

It doesnt need to be affinity to make strix work. Any deck with dimir colours can play 4 without any downside, and if you are not affinity, you are not getting vandalblasted.
