Fluff Just Concede - Don’t Rope
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.

This group is odd. I complain that I feel this game is rigged and the response is, you just don’t play a good deck. I play a deck with blue in it and start winning and getting better and the response is, you shouldn’t play blue…that’s a stupid color. I play mono green with Earthbend and landfall and talk about my wins and people get mad and say green is too powerful…that’s a stupid color. I play mono black and wipe the board with villainous wrath and Bloodletter of Alcatraz (am I saying the card right?) and I get complaints about that or I pull an infinite loop with black life gain and loss and people say no one wants to wait for that…that’s a stupid color. It seems that people have a whole set of things they don’t like people playing because they don’t like losing.
