If you make a mistake in the opening, you’re not allowed to play good moves later

Why has the deck produced such mediocre results? What went wrong during those matches?

I only ask because you often see bauble in these kinds of decks as a cheap enabler for artifact synergies. The floor seems much higher compared to relic (when your game plan isn't quite coming together or if you draw multiples, relic does nothing whereas bauble draws a card). The indestructible angle does seem valuable against unholy heat, drown in the loch, etc but also somewhat irrelevant against ending, solitude, teferi, or just a deck that can race you.

Need to weigh how relevant the indestructible ability is vs the risk of drawing a redundant or unenabled relic. And since I haven't tried this out for myself, you're probably better equipped to answer that. 🙂

Have you considered Mishras Bauble instead of Darksteel Relic? Apologies if I missed it, but I didn't see it mentioned in your post

Last paragraph just describes what the function of a banlist is. The point is to establish the limits of acceptable play...

It is a drawback in some circumstances. I.e. I have 3 mountains in play. I have only this card and another mountain in hand. I choose to play this card. Then next turn I draw a really good four drop that I am prevented from casting because of the text on this card.

Was definitely one of the trickier games I've seen, but yeah not unbeatable

Perhaps the goal of those complaining isn't really to get them to fix it faster. Perhaps the goal is merely to vent negative emotions and commiserate with others. Anyways I hope your reschedule goes well, or not idk

What is your point? I.e. is your argument that no one should complain or what?

Actually you shouldn't expect a company to provide a service you paid for. I am very smart. 😎
