My experience however has been that people run enough answers to keep games running long which tends to balance out the mana by late game. Nonetheless, there are certainly occasioonally games where somebody draws enough early to dominate, and I agree that these are often unfun. Thanks for commenting and furthering the discussion!

That is, because of such opposition when it comes to land destruction or denial, there is no checking system that keeps ramp under control. While I agree playing big spells is fun (I love me some Storm Herd), some games become lopsided since one player got their ramp and the other player didn't, making things unfun.
