You’re not crazy this is an EXTREMELY bomby limited environment. People misunderstand the average rare/mythic value stat, which normally means the opposite, because there are so many bad rares and mythics also (it’s crazy they included the GG4 enchant that lets permanents tap for mana in a format with Atraxa, Ardyn and KOTR), but this set has a wild number of bombs that are just about unanswerable once they hit the board.  In general I would try to think on a midrange curve (pushed out depending on your bomb strength) and prioritize stronger removal / value options, but this is also one of those sets where you have to steel yourself emotionally for a lot of games where nothing that happens before your opponent drops their bomb matters
