In other words, adapt to the metagame and include removal or bounce spells...... That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that forcing people to include removal or control in their decks if they want to reliably win pvp is harmful to the metagame because it limits what you can play, especially when the colors that require you to have these things to beat them are also the best at using them. I haven't actually called for a nerf to anything.

Never. So have a little patience and suck it up.

This is how the colors are designed by WOTC they all have strengths and weaknesses, they all do removal differently.
