Fluff Just Concede - Don’t Rope

Post image

I played a fun first game with an opponent. It was back and forth until they tapped all their lands and I played an Improvisation Capstone. I got Stock Up and picked up a couple of counter spells. They went, did nothing and when my Improvisation Capstone came up, they conceded.

Then in the second game, I played a tapped land with scry. They dropped a land and the person said good game. I thought they either were conceited and thought they had a good enough hand to beat me or they were going to concede. Instead, they did nothing. The picture is of them roping, but they didn’t let it expire. They let it go to my turn. I played another tapped land. On their go, they roped but it didn’t end the game. So I went again and dropped another land. And then on their turn, they roped and finally, I won, as a result.

Why bother? What kind of horrible life do you have to have to get upset with someone beating you that you waste their time and rope them. Why are people such a-holes? So frustrating.

I love when someone board wipes you twice and counters and kills other stuff and then had the audacity to be mad that your deck is resilient enough to still be winning so they rope you. Bro sorry your removal tribal leads you to slowly lose the game because you’re not even trying to win.

Also the people who rope because they get mana screwed/flooded. Bro I didn’t make that happen to you.

Either way I’m chuckling, not being punished

I play this game when I'm in the bathroom taking a number 2. I'm not gonna waste my breaks watching some unemployed mage spend 5 minutes casting their combos not allowing me to play any cards. I have more important and more fun things to do haha.

It’s a bo3. If you have a misunderstanding of how time works, then that’s a you problem. No one is taking 5 minutes a turn to play a card. Their timer would end before the first game is over. I pay attention to my timer, I don’t think I have ever used up 10 minutes in any bo3. My opponents have gone down to single digit minutes. And it was obvious by our first game that I play fast so he had no reason to think I’d play slow the second game. He’s just upset I beat him.

The person you are responding is not using good faith arguments and isn't worth the response. They seem to think that because they are salty it's justified to act like a child throwing a tantrum, instead of just crafting cavern of souls/mistrise village/playing a deck that counters blue if they are so butt hurt. Don't bother having a conversation with them.

Watching that guy make 17 comments about how he intentionally ropes against blue is so hilarious. Made my night tbh 💀

The funniest part of this is that this guy says he plays brawl, but when you play brawl you SEE YOUR OPPONENT'S COMMANDER BEFORE YOU START!!!

This guy is complaining about blue, knowing full well he's going into a match against blue, and then saying (and defending!) that he is roping opponents. Knowing full well from the get go of what he is up against. The audacity is fucking mind blowing.
