I'm enjoying destroying people with it when the meta shifts to anti-red. The grind through diamond is tedious as fuck.

Killing by turn 3-4 hardly seems to be the standard. If you are semi functional at deck building you shouldnt be losing that quick to anything but a perfect draw.
The card turns an interactive game into a game of solitaire for 1 player. Regardless of how not tier 1 it may be, its still bad design.
At the very least removing it from Bo1 would be good.

The ARE doing this. I've been going through the official MTG blog archives, which has a lot of content from the Play Design team, and there's definitely a trend of them questioning how things will affect digital. Taking away "may" and replacing it with optionless triggers is one of the big ones.

there really wasn't another choice just due to the nature of stacks in mtga, i'm really glad they had the balls to do this, although it is a bit of a slippery slope precedent
I don't play bo1 so this doesn't really matter for me, and I see it in bo3 ranked or event maybe once a week and it gets clobbered after sideboard
this should also increase deck variety a bit in bo1

Best of one is a nonsense format and this is just kicking the can down the road. Are they gonna ban cards from mono red next? And the next dominant deck after that? Or are they going to warp future magic design to try and make best of 1 a functional format? None of these options are good.
Nexus wasn't actually a problem - their asinine turn timer/rope system was the problem. Quit trying to polish a turd with the current system and just put the chess clock in and instantly nexus is not longer an issue.

Magic isn't designed for BO1 and unless they do Savage bannings every season BO1 will morph into 2-3 decks at most.
The first billion dollar streamer tournament they do and everyone is playing the same exact decks will show this.
I want a MTGA GP bo3 for propoints.

chess clock isn't how magic works though
paper magic doesn't discourage complex decks which involve counting, sequencing plays and stacking triggers
shortcutting is also officially allowed, if you can prove you can repeat a combo and the opponent can't interact, you can just say "I'm going to repeat this 5 times", and judge will be fine with that, MTGA does not have this feature

why
imagine playing a deck with 80% non-basics, your opponent goes first and blood moons
do you avoid the format, do you complain that blood moon should be banned, or do you concede to save both players time and yourself frustration?
if they get the loop and start doing it beneficially, you are going to lose eventually?

I would LOVE a short timer variant for Arena. No pause before the timer, it starts as soon as the turn is passed to you. A player gets 15 seconds to make a play for each step of a turn. Know what you will do or could do in a response or risk loosing. If you loose connection, sorry.
This was a format I wish had existed in Hearthstone.
The abuse of the card and the amount of manpower and money to correct this abuse was why the Ban from Bo1 was the best option. It comes down to customer satisfaction(They responded to the issue) and money.
Also, I love the thread complaining about the compensation. Really????

ITT: posters trying to turn MTG into a timmy version of the real game
i expected more from some people
this is a retarded suggestion, watch any stream from any pro MTG player, noone plays that fast
its not because you play all the shit you have in hand asap without a second thought that you should assume others are equally fast through stupidity
fortnite seems more like your kind of game

it doesn't happen very often but there have been instances of decks that were masturbatory and/or abusive in their game length that got themselves ejected. Eggs is the most recent example. It was a combo deck in Modern notorious for impacting event length. Four Horseman is 100% masturbation and that deck was just plain ruled to not be playable in paper.

i concede.pretty shortly after the loop starts. there's a few times i've been able to break it, but not usually. honestly, i'm probably just not a very good player, and that's weighs in on it for me a lot. playing against Nexus sucks when you're still trying to learn the game.

you either prevent them from casting it (kills, ramp removal, land destruction, discard), or you have counters to stop it
if you fail to prevent the situation and you can't stop it, something went wrong - you don't blame the card but look at where it went wrong
