I fully agree with this post but I also want a ton of other things nerfed too. Ajani Bombardment is similarly unfun and too strong, as is lotus veil storm combo, as is .... honestly the whole format.
I have a sustained 75% win rate in Bo3 historic with 500 matches over the past 3 months....and I can't think of a single matchup that is fun to play. The format is full of land destruction and OP run away with the game combos within the first 3 turns of the game. There is no back and forth and there is no interesting decisions. The entire format needs a huge overhaul with a lot of bans to slow it down and design really needs to stop printing OP cheap threats.
I have the largest win rate in this format over the past 3 months than I have ever had in my 30 years of playing the game and I am having the least amount of fun I have ever had too. It's pretty easy not to have fun in a game like magic when you're losing....but it's a bad sign when you're not having fun when you're winning. The only reason I keep playing the format is because it's easy to get top 250 to grind qualifiers.

They need to nerf A LOT of things. There isn't a single matchup that is fun to play in the format....and this is coming from someone who grinds it to top 250 every month and has a sustained 75% win rate with over 500 matches in 3 months. It's the most absurd win rate I've ever had or heard of with that many matches in bo3....and instead of being delighted and having a blast....I'm dragging my feet and treating every match as a chore to get the qualifier.
Sowing Mycospawn is a HUGE problem but so is Ajani, Lotus Veil, Hymn of the ages, Pyrogoyf, Tamiyo, Icetill Explorer, Orim's Chant and many others. EVERYONE is playing solitaire instead of actual magic.
Design went down hill in a huge way after coldsnap. Games focused around snowballing threats, land destruction, fast combo, or things like Orim's chant just isn't fun.
Constructed used to be AMAZING whether it was type 1 (vintage), type 1.5 (legacy), type 2 (standard) through cold snap. It was diverse both players got to actually play the game, and there were many decisions from both players. Now there are few, incredibly impactful decisions and opening hands mattering more than deck composition.
It used to be that you would play based off of what cards were left in your deck but now most games are decided based off of what was in your opening hand.
