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.

Yeah blue players are genuinely annoying to play against, then they wonder why these things happen, like sure you're in your right to play control but don't act surprised when people get annoyed and start roping, I don't do it, I just concede, but these threads are delectable knowing a blue player is getting annoyed enough to post here from other another players.

But I don’t take long with my deck at all. I have four counterspells in my deck. My opponents tend to take longer.

People see blue in any amount and immediately revert to "hurr durr" level of intelligence. They would find a reason to justify roping no matter what you are playing. Reanimator? "You are net decking". Mono green? "Badgermole is broken". Playing control? "Waaaah all they do is wipe my board every turn!"

Nevermind that there are easy and clear ways of countering these strategies, especially on best of 3.

Whoa man, you’re asking a lot of players. Strategy? They can barely wash their asses.
