Oh yeah, Genesas made me remember, I'm only speaking of Standard.
Wild has plenty of game swingers that can mitigate the Embiggen plus tempo situation.

Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.
But again, just as when the guy coins out the Breath of Dreams, playing TWO Embiggens on turn one is clear evidence of a person who has no idea what he's doing.
I suppose I should have added that in my response, but if a person double Embiggens that early, they gave you a window to win the game that they should not have given you.
I suppose a reasonable response would be that a person playing ONE Embiggen plus Breath doesn't indicate he knows what he's doing . . . it might indicate he just didn't draw the second Embiggen. Nevertheless, in either the case where he knows to hold the second OR he has another useful card in hand, you are staring at a sub 5% win rate as near as I can tell, unless you are playing a deck intending on winning or losing the game before any of the Embiggened creatures come down.

First of all, if he plays Coin plus Breath on turn one, I'd always play it out, because the guy is an idiot. Even with the breath, the coin is better use if held past turn 3.
But as to the substance of your question, if the guy opens with Embiggen plus Breath of Dreams and I'm playing anything but Full Face Gally Warrior or Zoo Lock or something equally aggressive, I concede.
I'm not for this behavior usually, but the winrate on his part at that point is so ungodly high, I honestly think if you are trying to hit high legend ranks or whatever rank cutoff you like, you are better served saving the time. You just won't be able to do anything more than about 5% of the time.
If you're not uber-concerned about your finishing rank, it's still frustrating, but by all means, shoot for the stars.
