Why would a 3 mana spell be your cheapest CMC spell? I mean, the hell guys, it's not like if you run Absorb it's the only counter or removal you can run in your entire deck.

Absorb is a spell that blows out aggro on t3-t6 in a control deck, and lifts you out of topdecked burn range in the lategame.

I mean, by the "turn 3 is too late" logic, no deck should ever run any cards with CMC>1.

Ya'll R cray cray.
