You know, I have a deck that could theoretically legitimately cast this by turn 4. Less if you were willing to abuse Lotuses or Moxes.
Usually I just dump all of that colorless mana into a Meteor Shower, though.
And it can still be destroyed with only 7 mana
You could just counterspell it. The “no spells in the building can be countered” and “protection” clauses only affect it after it enters the battlefield.
So, it would go to the graveyard, its owner would be banned, and nobody could take any turns. They would have to postpone the tournament until the next day.
