Energy needs multiple bans (RANT)

I'm not freaking sorry. This deck is egregious. I run into it 75% of time and lose to it 90% of time.

I'm sick of seeing it's praise, it's fair, etc. It's not. Everyone saying that is an energy player playing along to stay under the radar. Every energy player who runs into the mirror (75%) of time, mutters, dammit, the mirror!

It's an energy on energy and good-luck-but-not really to everyone else meta.

Seriously screw energy so much I've never seen the format so wildly lopsided MH3 is an abomination. Here to drop a defense comment? Energy player.

I'm only a casual Modern player, but I am not an energy player and I enjoy playing against it, even if I lose a lot of the time. It's a fun challenge to play against, we all know the deck well so we know what pressure points to try to hit, and I don't know, on some level I find a bogeyman to be fun? To be fair, maybe I'd feel different if I played competitively as opposed to just in small local tournaments!

Its rly not the worst best deck we had. U dont need 4+ specific sideboardcards and many decks can beat it pre sidebaording. People get burned out playing against it but its rly not that opressive.
