Endless Turn Combo - Proposed Timed Turns (like in chess)
Just played an opponent who used the cookie-cutter treasure/copy deck. Firstly, I find it amazing that a player would enjoy playing this deck. It deprives your opponent from having a turn by relying on an endless stream of treasure to cast spells to draw more cards and create more treasure. Secondly, I find it ridiculous that Wizards of the Coast would encourage this kind of play, but of course, WoC seems to not care about endless loops in matches. It's bad form on both points. For the last month or so, I occasionally get asked after a match to rate it with a "smiling face" or a "frowning face". These types of matches will always get a "frowning face". Why doesn't WoC do something about it? Perhaps there could be a timer for each player's turn? Once the timer is up (say 2-3 minutes), it shifts to the opponent's turn. This would prevent a player from looping actions for 5+ minutes.
