    It shouldn't take long. The non-Standstill player isn't going to win by
just sitting there, unless he has enough stuff out already to handle things,
in which case the Standstill player is stupid to cast Standstill. So
presumably the Standstiller has the upper hand, and waiting around for him
to accumulate a gripful of counterspells too before breaking the Standstill
isn't a good tactic. Best to just give him his 3 cards and get on with
trying to win.
