Fuse timer exploit
Players are able to exploit the timer fuse by simply adding so many triggers that it skips your turn or ability to take any action. This is a common problem where the opponent will simply stack so many triggers that they will force a time out and win by default especially when they don't have any other viable means of winning. This is an especially big problem with people who don't have an answer for cards like cloudsteel kirin or platinum angel. This is the 30th or more time this has happened to me in an almost identical way.

I understand that time can be a factor however when players are able to abuse the fuse timer by simply adding a large number of triggers to the stack or by repeating a controlible infinite combo it basically becomes a way to win especially when you don't have any way to deal with something that is keeping the other player alive. I have been in the middle of a tournament that I paid money to participate in and lost everything I had put into it because of opponents who did that over and over again. I don't mind losing to blind luck or skill what I have a problem with is cheating and causing so many triggers that the game times out your opponents is cheating.

I have had this happen to, where a person used an infinite mana combo and card generation to just keep playing meaningless cards. I just sat there mashing the "resolve" button over and over as fast as I could while just watching my own time out fuse run down.

Get rid of the fuse timer. People every day abuse it. When they are losing, they wait out the time on purpose. And also people take too long to make their moves. Get rid of the timer. If you cant make a decision in the 30 seconds or 1 minute that is given, then u pass your turn to your opponent. I spend money on mtg arena whenever a new set is put out. If you don't fix this issue, I wont buy new set and will discontinue use of ur game. Please email me when you address this issue.
