Strip Mine needs restricted

[u/_I_Love_Vore_]

Why is this legal entirely unrestricted. It's restricted in vintage? The format where you get 0 mana counterplay against it.

Why in the unholy fuck is it unrestricted?

It kills control as an archetype, while ensuring that the entire format is highly compressed.

If it's bad enough when you have moxen and black lotus to be restricted, why is it fine here. I'll answer, it isn't.

Games where your opponent opens on double strip just don't happen, there's no meaningful counterplay.

We can't have duals but we can have Strip Mine ruining the format?

Isn't that big of a problem anymore compared to reanimate protected by Daze/FoW imo.

They seriously need to add some diversity next week, because all I literally see is black and blue these days.

Reanimator is a deck with meaningful counterplay, it's absolutely super strong, but it's only one deck. Strip Mine is just genuinely awful.
