That just doesn't sound feasible and like a logistic nightmare, given the amount of judge calls. SDT was banned for power and time reasons in Extended, and it never even became legal in Modern due to that.
Emphasize mine.
@Mods: Can we please make "Go play Modern!" (aka the Source's euphemism for "Go fuck yourself!") an offense that deserves a warning? It would make discussions more civil in the long run.
Good thing there weren't actually that many Miracles players (given how many Miracles decks there were that day) going to turns during EW so you're vastly overestimating the amount of judge calls for slow play by a Miracles opponent that will be made. I myself was even complemented by several of my opponents for being a quick Miracles player. And most of us Miracles players are quick. Unfortunately, the slowest of us all was put on cam and that gives a bad name to the rest of us.
In the same light, can we make blanket statements about all Miracles players being slow a warn-able offense? It perpetuates an ignorant belief.@Mods: Can we please make "Go play Modern!" (aka the Source's euphemism for "Go fuck yourself!") an offense that deserves a warning? It would make discussions more civil in the long run.
The purpose of any moat is to impede attack. Some are filled with water, some with thistles. Some are filled with things best left unseen.
This was my first time going to Eternal Weekend and I had a blast. I played against miracles 0 times on Saturday, which I felt very odd.
I also did quite well for a deck I haven't really played a lot, Mono-red Sneak Attack aka BIG RED (my shirt gave it away at times)

The swords in game 2 were very aggressive imo, but he managed to win that game despite that really questionable line(s). The worst I noticed was the triple fetch crack to hard cast Force of Will while his opponent had Urborg in play in game 3. He would have had a ton of extra looks with top at the end of that game had he noticed the Urborg + fetch interaction.
This is not a B&R discussion thread. Mentioning SDT as detailing to your account is fine, but going deep into it by running the numbers derails and digresses from the purpose of this tread. This is about the events and altercations occurred specifically during EW, that's the title of this thread.

On the contrary; Miller is a Slow Player. There were a lot of flashbacks to another (initially) Slow Player on the SCG Legacy sections.
You know who that guy was? A little fella called Jim Davis. And you know what? He improved, to the point where's he's now a fast Miracles player. The problem card is not, IMO, Top. The problem is bad players with Top. Top should not be a, " : Run the clock down" card. But that's what bad players with the card do. Taking around 10 minutes of a game just to run Top activations is an issue. And normally, I'd put that down to either inexperience ( in which case the courteous thing would be to apologise) or to call a Judge if you suspect Slow Play. Again, accoridng to Card Titan, most of the matches Miller won were 1-0-1 affairs in the timed rounds. That doesn't strike me as a positive.
Something in Miracles finally needs to go. The signs have been there for at least two years. But it's gotten to the point where player attendance is an issue, and the companies aren't supporting the format outside of token competitions. That's not healthy, long-term, for the format. Yes, Miracles is a powerful hard-control deck. But players should not be taking the deck to large-scale timed tournaments if they aren't willing to make the games faster.
OK, I made good on that promise of a MUD report. Cheers again for the fun weekend, everyone
