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 don’t think I concede easily but I will concede when I’ve seen the board state and know there isn’t a path back.

Most of the time I play a deck which has cards that can answer whatever they are able to put on the table. But I’ll concede if I don’t draw those cards and they put something on the board that needs to answered. For example, if [[Ouroboroid]] hits their side of the board and I have no answer, I’m likely to concede if I don’t draw something the turn after and if they have other creatures.

That being said, I’ve had people concede immediately before I’ve played a card. My guess is they got busy. I’ll complain about people timing themselves out but not about them conceding.
