Well it is just I happen to see that happen more times then not. It may still be a luck factor but it still seems strange to me.

Yeah, I know. It's happened a few times for me too (don't Set monsters too often).

I have found that a great card to use (against Chaos as well) is Spell Shield Type-8....Although not good against heavy storm, smashing ground, etc...it does stop alot of the magic cards that chaos decks run...Snatch Steal, Nobleman, Brain control, book of moon, Axe of despair and other ATK boosters....and it stops them without a cost...then of course if a non-targeting magic card is played u always have the option of discarding to stop it...if u have a magic card that is.

Which is why teh card is not used often, unfortunately. I'd rather use Magic Drain instead so that instead of me going 2 for 1, they go 1 for 2, worse late game.

But I'm also in the boat of having 1 Nobleman. All the popular Remove from Play removal is restricted, why not this one also. And it's not because Magician of Faith is at 2, since one lucky Nobleman will take out both.

I prefer Nobleman at two since it helps against those crazy conservative types. Dark Hole is also banned once again, leaving us with only MSLV2 and other such cards as f/d removal. Flips effects are also everywhere in the meta.

However if Crossout is bothering you that much, just run Big Shields and D.D Scout Planes and laugh as their Crossouts are useless most of the time.

Problem is...people aren't willing to run them in their decks because that's pretty much the only use they'd have and nothing else really...

Besides...not like MS LV2 was that hard to get from the way the game was before and there's still Ceasefire or The Spell Absorbing Life as well.

Personally, I do use DD Scout Plane, but I still don't like Nobleman at two. And if it where at one, it wouldn't be much of a problem. During the time it was restricted, I've learned to use other mosnters or effects to help me out:

Exiled Force
Mind Control
Newdoria
FLIP destroyers

And each one can be used in certain decks, without always having to splash in all these alternatives in all different types of decks as some do with Nobleman at 2.

nobleman is a great card in my opinion it is great in a offensive deck because most of the time ur oppenent would set monsters and also it is great against flip and multipl flip monsters to thin out ur opponents deck and not wasting a attack to get rid or the defense, although i do admit (i've come across it many times) if ur running 2 and most of the time in late tight game situations it does become a dead draw
