This isn't a gag. The purpose of this cube is to induce nausea provide a novel draft and play experience by forcing challenging drafters to play with garbage discern the relative and contextual strength of cards that suck are considered by many to be among the weirdest and worst ever printed.
I think most of the confusion for Paradox Engine's banning is why now and not 20 months ago?
The RC/CAD is between a rock and a hard place.
Ban it early on and be criticized for not giving it a chance.
Give it a chance and be criticized for not banning it early on.
They chose the latter, which I tend to agree with.
if it took this long to realize it was a problem what game are they even playing?
there's giving things a chance, and then there's not doing anything. the card's been out so long its rotated out of standard... that should have been plenty of time to say hey wait a minute, even in decks that use it "fairly" its degenerate.
When, exactly, is the perfect time to ban a card in Commander?
A time that isn’t too early or too late?
There have been many cards over the years that were predicted to be ZOMGSO broken in Commander (and other formats) that turned out to be fine or even duds.
Perhaps the RC/CAD thought/hoped Paradox Engine would be one of them.
Assume the best about people. It’ll brighten your outlook and theirs.

I think you’re going to run into more competitive combo types of text because when people go to an event and they plan on playing in a special event with a person of note in that venue then they’re bringing their best decks which are probably often their combo decks another cheesy things.
Perform 3 (You may tap three untapped creatures you control as you cast this spell. If you do, return this spell card to its owner's hand as it resolves.)
