You actually don't have to sit there for 2 hours. There is rule 104.3a:
A player can concede the game at any time. A player who concedes leaves the game immediately. That player loses the game.
And if the other players at table don't do the same you have to wait until everyone is finished for the next game
Isn't that the same problem when losing to aggro, voltron, poison or when being focused?
The Iona ban is absolutely ridiculous. She's so innocuous I was laughing when I read the announcement. I still think Paradox Engine is fine and shouldn't be banned, but at least that card *was* legit broken if you're that kind of player. Banning Iona is just a sign to me that the rules committee has completely lost touch.
One vote of no confidence from me. I think Wizards should take the reins and come up with a ban list that makes at least a *little* bit of sense.
you're sociopaths and I'm glad that I never have to sit down and be locked out of the game for 2 hours while I watch you play tbh

Painter + Iona = lock everyone out.
Iona has already a bad reputation, this hard lock is too much.
So don't unban Painter... pretty simple
Karn + Lattice is equally as nasty IMHO.
Not as much. Being a planeswalker and an artifact there is only 2 color that can possibly assemble the combo easy (blue using tutor for artifacts and black with universal tutors) (and being able to use nul rod that is easier to find than karn) (with red being almost possible with the artifact cards)(and lets face it nul rod was a thing before karn) but we have to remember that for this to happen for the non black deck the deck needs to be build around too much.
For the Iona and painter for exemple you need white black or green to “cheat Iona into play” also you need to remember how easy it is to generate resources in graveyard. But ye if we are technical Karn and Latice does the same as Iona and painter but Karn and latice is much harder to assemble than a 2 creature combo. And Iona was usually played as the random reanimator target that sometimes happened to lock people out of the game without the need of outside help, a one card combo is usually better than a card that combos with other cards usually and the amount of people defending Iona as fair for a combo format says enough about the card
White can tutor for planeswalkers and has one tutor for artifacts, though.
I can't say anything about your environment but she isn't play often here. She isn't a random reanimator target. She has the potential to lock out players but she isn't a guaranteed lock. When reading some of the comments here you can thing that she does that every time. Apart from this I asked my game group and they are okay with her. She wasn't a problem in the past and they don't think she will be in the future. So I will continue to use her. I will exchange her with another card when playing 'outside'.
I don't know. I feel like Iona isn't that annoying. There are tools to handle her and she isn't that game winning compared to other cards with that mana cost that can right out win the game expropriate. Mono colored decks are a minority and the ban of Iona will change nothing. But she was call out for a ban for years now, so I guess they want to take the step for the community. Paradox Engine ban is fine. And Painter Servant unban seems like a mistake.
