I don't know about a lot of you guys, but I have gotten pretty tired of playing against some of the infinite combos that are popular. One comes to mind is the
Triskelion +
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and
Triskelion +
phyrexian devourer +
Necrotic Ooze.
Triskelion is a instant win card that you cant stop unless someone has 1 of 2 sudden death cards. Maybe that's a card that should be considered being placed on the ban list. Because Ive played many games where someone plays mono black or B/W and they use a
Triskelion combo as the main instant win combo. sometimes they can get the combo off by turn 5. Which isn't fun for anyone. Thoughts?
As others have said, this is a combo (like many to be honest) that can be stopped by many removal spells, and many playable proactive cards that just sit. Triskelion can be exiled/shuffled/bounced when it moves to kill itself, exiled from grave in response to undying trigger, Mikaeus can be removed in response to robot targeting itself for destruction or for undying trigger.
Necrotic Ooze + Devourer + robot is even more cards to be interacted with.
Monoblack Mikaeus+Triskelion combo is, imo, probably the absolute worst because you lack tutors that cheat them into play, counter magic or protection spells (except for like a couple black instant speed "regen target" type deals).
What kinds of decks and power levels do you have in your meta? How much removal/interaction do you play? How much are you willing to put in your deck? If this person is the only combo player and plays absolutely cutthroat you may need to stop playing that person.
As someone who kills people with Triskelion every week, i can tell you that it's far from the best combo and is quite beatable. I should honestly play something a little bit different. I'm the only player in my meta who plays Mikaeus/Trisk even though many decks have the colors to do so.

What exactly do you want?
Are you sure you can't reconsider that maybe you are in a minority and have a problem playing against cards that most people do not have a problem combating? My anecdotal experience has generally been contrary to yours, for example. Nothing you say is prevalent in your meta is prevalent or a problem in mine, and others have shared that sentiment as well.
People here can only state their opinion and tips on combating what
is legal while it is, and asking other users if they think it should be banned is (probably, i think) not even at all how you would get a card banned.
As much as you seem to dislike others here (or their attitudes), i think your attitude when pushing your opinions as obvious fact has made you pretty unlikable and that surely makes it even harder to start a favorable dialogue now.
