The power cube has an insane amount of storm cards, and we spend and are playing for a significant amount of gems. Despite this, during a match which I had definitively won on board using a mixture of Displacer Kitten and Bolas's citadel, and despite the fact that I was casting spells quickly and efficiently and advancing the board state, arena's rope feature lost me the match.

The rope feature is realistically there to stop people who are AFKing, or otherwise trolling their opponent in non BO3 matches which use a traditional MTGO style timeclock, but specifically in power cube, doing strong things get punished by the clock. Either A. Remove the rope feature as long as the person is casting spells and activating abilities in the format or B. Change the timekeeping system to be the same as B03 (a time clock), that way people still have to win in some way quickly.

Either way, I want my gems back for a game I would have won without this horrendous feature. My account on MTGA is TS1989.
