I fail to see how anything I said led you to the conclusion that I wanted to 'dismissively sweep it under the rug'.
To the contrary, I share the concern and definitely agree that it bears watching, especially the -less IDIC: Power version of this build.
But what we don't know at this point is whether or not it's a problem solved by errata, a meta shift, or something else. Let's see what develops.
That said, just because I'm at Yellow Alert and not Red Alert doesn't mean I disagree with you.

But Kevin, who's an excellent interactive player, is voicing a concern. When someone who could potentially obliterate a field and hand out NPE's like candy is bringing an issue up, I don't think we should dismissively sweep it under the rug. I know my warning bells are going off, and I hope the 1E team has them firing off too. They have been great about nipping nonsense like this in the bud over the past few months, and I am hopeful this will catch someone's eye as well.
Minefield + Cytherians + Raptor sniping + a well-built Battle Bridge Side Deck = KABOOM.
That's really good even if I have to use card plays and don't get any draws.
It doesn't seem like anyone in this thread thinks the link between IDIC and Romulan Minefield shouldn't be severed. So.... let's take care of it before it gets too far out of hand. I shouldn't need to reanimate TNG Romulan PNZ battle and incorporate IDIC + Minefields to get erratas attention that this needs to get looked at, just as we shouldn't need too much more data to know it is a problem. Brian won with it using Vulcans. Seems fair, given he was using it how design seems to have intended it be used. This weekend, Jon won a Regional with it in an all Romulan deck and only gave up one mission over 3 games. Isn't that enough of a reason to at least add it to the watch list?
