Indeed. Regardless of whether it's too powerful or not it takes way too long to search your library and stack it to be legal.Quote:

It is a unskilled player problem however, since they take to long to think about how to stack. which should not be a bannable issue.
There's actually an easy way to stop Shahrazad from stalling you out: Just concede the subgame and go on with the main game. No slowdown at all!Quote:

Oh, we are back to "SDT as a card is not the reason why Miracles matches go to time, but the inexperienced players"? Yeah, because just the fact that some people can play with card X or deck Y like with their own schlong, doesn't mean there is no logistic Problem overall. I have seen people puzzling 5+ min about Doomsday piles and I have seen people wasting 10+ minutes per game stacking their deck with Recruiters. The effective difference between the two cards is, that Doomsday does not stack 20+ cards several times in a single match like Recruiter is used to do.Quote:

What would happen if they unbanned Oath of Druids right now?
Nothing good. Think the Vintage deck only without the acceleration. It's not a safe card.Quote:

The bomber man shell could go in rather easily. If you wanted combo that's likely your best route. The lack of Yawg Will hurts the storm set up and no Vault means your not going to run the tutor heavy version.
Apart from that, dropping Brand onto the table followed by Elish Norn would likely be good enough too.
format would be awful.Quote:

It's probably because you're playing on MTGO.Quote:

It's left there for a reason. That reason being it looks ridiculous in our eyes knowing what time has done to the format. Thus a reminder that not every idea is a sound one.Quote:

I mean that's a lot of creature for one mana.
