Please run more removal

I play pick up games at my LGS occasionally because I have no regular play group. In four games, I was virtually the only person interacting with the board. When the board got too problematic, I was the only one who had a wipe to deal with it.

Please folks, I know removal is not the most interesting part of building a deck. But a lot of cards in 2025 are so busted that they need to be dealt with almost immediately otherwise they take over the game. Everyone was playing Bracket 3s and below and yet nearly every game went to only turn 6-7 because one person popped off and nobody else wanted to interact.

I hate long games as much as anybody, but I also prefer to minimize the number of non-games. Interaction is necessary in 2025 Magic, please run more of it.
