I think this has already been mentioned, but it's really hard to coexist with other people who don't want you to exist at all. There are some attitudes, opinions, and behaviors that don't get a pass under the auspices of tolerance (or free speech), and bigotry might be at the very top of that list.
The extremist sees only extremists.
Terese Nielsen never sought the destruction of anybody, but plenty of people jumped on the hate train against her, blindly following the blood track of the stabbing against her character.
Then they celebrate to demolished a beloved community member, and go out for the next victim.
At some point people realize that, sadly its most of the time when the finger is pointed at them and its too late ...
Imagine going this hard for someone who supports Neo Nazis, follows, likes and listens to Neo Nazis, donates their work to Neo Nazis and doesn't disparage Neo Nazis, and then getting touchy and semantic when she gets called a neo nazi. You can play word games all day until this thread, inevitably, gets locked, but at the end of the day, you defending someone who is a QAnon supporter and donates work to Neo Nazis. Again, what does that make you?
And here is Selesnya's value answer to Aggro, Control, and pretty much anything else. A 4/3 for 3 when you need a beater, a Reclamation Sage when you want it and a Lone Missionary when you need some life. This is honestly much better than I could have expected. Enchantment based removal is going to be hard pressed to run rampant if this is around
While I want to distance myself from your tone a little bit, you're right in that the current issue is how horrid answers are.
How are answers horrid? Unlicensed Disintegration destroys any creature except Hazoret or the random Rhonas that someone might be playing while Vraska's Contempt deals with anything that isn't hexproof--we might see some more Jade Guardians being played because of extra Merfolk support but there aren't many Carnage Tyrants running around. Some decks even have answers before the cards are even played--do you know how difficult it is for a God-Pharaoh's Gift deck to win after a turn 3 Dispossess has exiled all copies of the artifact? They might as well scoop.
Anyway...back to the ban announcement...Standard will become Pummeler and RDW, both of which can attain victory on turn 4 without answers in hand.
You're talking about 3 and 4 mana removal when the best threats are either 3 mana and below, or force you to play 4 mana removal to remove them on the the first place. I'm not sure you really understand the "standard has bad answers" argument since you are arguing against it when Wizards themselves have admitted the answers in standard were weak. Nobody runs dispossess in the main and in games 2-3 it's not like their curve goes above 5 mana anyway. They have no real reason to scoop.
It's weird you argue against bad answers in standard but then present two decks that you lose to if you don't have answers until turn 4

Plagiarize? No
Support QAnon and Neo-Nazi views? Yes
You never miss a chance to shill for her huh?

The card itself is pretty decent. A good rate on the body, flying and if you can self mill a bit, you got a good engine going.
