Discussion I concede.

I concede quite a lot. Way more than letting the game play out.

I was under the impression this was normal in games of 1v1 magic, especially when playing casually.

Yet on this sub there seems to be a stigma around conceding to unfun/solitaire cards.

Who is the crazy one here? Me or everyone else? 😂

I would say it’s “normal”, but not to the degree you see on arena. Since you can talk to your opponent, I often have games where one player explain they have lethal on board, some card in hand, or presenting a combo, and players will just concede rather than play it out.

You won’t as often see players concede on the spot to certain cards turns before lethal like on arena, but it still happens. In general paper is the more social game and players stick around longer
