There are great elves and faeries that like to come down in droves so it's not too hard to keep a few relevant creatures on board
I think even if they cant explain why, part of the reason some players have that gut reaction is that spells like Ruination or Armageddon are used as griefer spells instead of win-conditions, bringing the game to a halt with no plan to victory already in play
