Paradox Engine Isn't Banned
Not sure how you missed it but Paradox Engine is completely legal on Arena in Historic and Historic Brawl. It's banned in Commander for a reason... there's no way you should be allowing it in Brawl. What's the deal? Sheoldred is too powerful to include but cards like Ulamog and Paradox engine are fine for a fun and friendly experience???? Why?

Hi yes, please ban this already. I've been watching my opponent fail to win the game for the last 20 minutes and eventually had to concede because my lunch break ended.

paradox engine has gotta go. What do else do we need to do? There's like 100 posts about this. Make it happen. It's 1 sided slow play not fun

Please for the love of god. It is the most annoying card in the game. One side is just sitting there for 10 minutes

Please ban this card across the board. Its an absolute abomination. The fact this conversation is on going for so many years should have prompted an appropriate response. This card is a horrific **** squeezed from between the cheeks of the grand warlock himself.

So in 2+ years we ban Agent of Treachery because it creates unfun games the moment it hits the board. Paradox engine is colorless and achieves the same effect of threatening to end the game the turn it hits the board, in a singleton format where not every card I have has the flexibility to deal with artifacts. I find this decision inconsistent.

Seriously. This card allows a player to have an endless turn.

Please ban paradox engine for the love of all that is holy. It's not even about it being broken (because it is), it is about the sheer amount of wait time with each trigger. Beyond that, these triggers put pressure on the person NOT playing paradox engine, even if you are slapping that skip each time as it pops up, it starts chewing through your timer. This is a HUGE fking problem if you have a response you can't activate auto-pass because of. There is ZERO reason this card should be legal, it is a toxic nightmare of time wasting that is ten times worse online than in paper where it is already banned in commander. It adds nothing positive to the format and is highly toxic.

Playing against paradox engine is like watching a game of solitaire. It’s banned in commander for a reason. Since brawl is basically a mini commander format then it should be banned in brawl and historic brawl. However, Wizards doesn’t do things logically these days (Alchemy is a major example).

To add what others have said: This log was obtained about 7 minutes before the match was over. I did almost nothing that wasn't countered or removed the instant it was played and my OP couldn't kill me. I only kept playing to gather this data. This game was NOT fun for me. And if I hadn't of been watching LoadingReadyRun while WAITING for my OP to take their turns, I would have been extremally annoyed. So please ban Paradox Engine, it is not fun to play against and just makes games much longer than they should be.

Adjusting legal cards with Alchemy and allowing banned cards Paradox Engine at the same time is its own paradox engine. This is idiotic.

What is sad about the fact is employees had to troubleshoot all the scripts and codes to get this card to work... Then and there they should have been discussing saying "Do we really want to waste any more time?"

Just another request for this busted card to be banned on Arena. Every single match it shows up leads to an extremely annoying game with a never ending turn. All the massive number of simillar requests on this list just shows how the card makes the format less healthy than it could be.

And once again after three games in a row where I just alt-tab out and close the program rather than watch someone masturbate with Paradox Engine I have no desire to play this idiotic excuse for a game. BAN. THIS. CARD.

As we speak, I'm watching yet another Paradox Engine deck play with themself. Fix this nonsense already!

I know this thread is a few months old but it bears repeating. At least 90% of the decks in historic brawl now are Paradox Engine combo decks. There's no point in playing the format right now because it's nothing but hard control and a Paradox Engine to combo out with. That's it.

Anything banned in EDH needs removed from Historic 100 Brawl. Get it together dev team.

Zantis#64040 commented
Came here to report this as well. Why is Paradox Engine in Historic Brawl? My last 4 games in various decks all used it to combo off into oblivion. This isn't a healthy card for the game.

Hello! I've somewhat recently been playing your game and it's been great, but just a little qualm I have. There's an item called the "Paradox Engine" and it's really unfun to play against. I play on historic since that's where most of the undead are for Mono-Black and I'm pretty used to a good bit of cheese. Though in my last two games I've fought people with this item and there's no play around. It's a 5 mana cost item that give you a permanent turn if you just go heavy on your draw potential. It's really sad to just sit there for 5 minutes straight watching someone else basically play single player clicker game and just draw until they get an instant win card. I think your game would benefit if the card was removed.
