Alrund's Epiphany has made standard so polarised. Either you play it or you play mono green/white. Or you play some interesting brew which can win against mono green/white but auto concedes to the Epiphany decks. I'm sure I need not mention how awful it is to have your opponent take 5 turns in a row. This completely destroys the design of the game by reducing interactive gameplay, negating resource management, moving tempo and boardstate to the irrelevance bin. I would like to for my in game choices to matter which I feel they don't at the moment. I would like Alrund's Epiphany to be banned so there are more than 2 archetypes in the meta. Standard is getting really old really quickly. I, as many others, am now auto conceding to these decks.
