Arcane Bombardment Copied Spells
Why are spells copied by Arcane Bombardment not able to be interrupted?
Once the first spell is copied, I do not get a chance to interrupt with a fast effect until after the last spell is resolved, even when Full Control is active. If they are copied spells that are then being cast then surely you should be able to respond to these spells with fast effects to counter them or protect permanents being targeted by them, etc.
If this is working as intended, then I agree with this post - https://feedback.wizards.com/forums/918667-mtg-arena-bugs-product-suggestions/suggestions/45109423-ban-arcane-bombardment - when it states that the card is "completely overpowered".

The game is bugged on arcane bombardment, the spells it places on the stack are not acting as legal targets and priority doesn't pass between each unless a triggered effect hits the stack as a result of a spell and even then the spells on the stack aren't legal targets to effect with your own spells

I am playing an arcane bombardment deck. I'm playing against an arcane bombardment deck. I have an obscura charm and the mana to play it, but it won't allow me to play it. It's acting like there isn't a legal target but every spell on the stack is an instant or sorcery and I want to counter the instant that bounces my bombardment and destroy his bombardment with my spell in the grave. But it's acting like there aren't legal targets on the stack.

You're missing the point I am trying to make. Even when I hit FULL CONTROL as soon as the Arcane Bombardment is triggered when I have an instant in hand that I can respond with, I don't get a chance to cast it before the spells from Arcane Bombardment resolve.
It has just happened to me again. Opponent triggered their Arcane Bombardment and used it to copy Strangle, targeting my Werewolf Pack Leader. I had an Inscription of Abundance in hand (and mana available) which I wanted to use to add two counters to the werewolf, so I hit FULL CONTROL. Nevertheless, the Strangle resolved without giving me an opportunity to cast it.
From what you are saying, an already powerful card, is therefore not working properly and in such a manner as to make it even more devastating.
Playing mostly Standard I am only really seeing three types of decks now. Mill, Arcane Bombardment or fast aggro. Sometimes, even the mill decks are also using AB. Apparently, there is no such thing as mid-range in the environment any more, as fast aggro is the only type of deck that can outpace the onslaught of a working Bombardment deck, made all the more worse when you can't effectively respond to the spells it copies. -

All of the spells cast with Arcane Bombardment are put on the stack during its ability resolving. You dont receive priority while a spell or ability is resolving. You will have to wait until all spells are cast by Bombardment, then you will get a chance to respond.
