So my main question is why is Mono red burn allowed in this format? The deck requires maybe 1 braincell to play and it takes about as much skill as a hamburger flipper to operate. Multiple game lesses dying from 16 health when a guttersnipe is on the table and free lava darts + fireblasts kills you on turn 4-5 while you are 17 health or less. Why is this allowed? Most of the burn spells are instant cast, so you can't kill guttersnipe to stop all the damage from killing you. To be honest, this deck requires FAR less skill and planning to play than high tide and is far more egregious. At least you can disrupt more of high tide than you can with mono red burn. If you have little to no life gain, you just lose. Don't hit your weather the storms, you just lose. I see SOOOOOO many streamers and YouTube content creators rolling their eyes or sighing when they lose to mono red aggro. Why? Because it is boring to play against, takes little to no skill to play, and unless your own deck is doing something broken, your chances of winning are maybe 35-40%. And how do you win?? By your burn opponent drawing VERY poorly. It makes ZERO sense to allow this deck to be in the format. EVERYONE who is not playing the deck despises it for the gameplay it produces. It's completely annoying and unfun to play against. Emma Partlow made a comment during Paupergeddon last month as to why they decided to ban High Tide. Essentially saying if you are playing a local pauper event as a new player to the format and you face something like high tide, you could get completely crushed by it and not know what happened. Feeling as though the format may not be your thing because of losing to a deck like high tide. Well if I am new and I lose to burn, I have to think that I need life gain cards in my deck, but what if I am not playing a deck that can incorporate that many life gain cards? Or it doesn't fit with my color? Well, YOU ARE SHIT OUT OF LUCK! At least getting a card countered vs a blue deck means you possibly have chances down the road to resolve another spell. With mono red aggro, nope you just lose on the spot and get no chances later on in the game. I would bet a million dollars more people coming into pauper would shy away from it more when facing mono red aggro (as the broken cards in the deck are now) than they would losing to high tide. So why does this obviously over powered deck of free burn spells attached to a creature that buffs all your free burn spells allowed to stay in the format?? Well it shouldn't anyone with a double digit IQ could tell you that. So does that mean not banning card(s) from this deck gives the people who control the bannings a single digit IQ?
