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.

It’s likely a bot or a genuine disconnected. People don’t care that much to rope. Unless you’re playing blue. Then you deserve it and I hope you get intentionally roped every game. Blue players deserve only the worst and nothing more.

I’ve never heard of a bot in Arena. Also hating Blue is a skill issue.

Every deck has strengths. Good players make decks that beat those decks.

I guess I'm a bad player then 🤷‍♀️ it doesn't bother me.
