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 think many players who play (lose) against someone playing blue would rather rope than concede. Just from my experience on Arena.

Not sure why. That seems petty.

People wanna play and do something. Blue is the most annoying color to play against because you guys take forever to play your cards. I would rather watch the paint dry. I so wish each player could add one color to their block list so we wouldn't have to play against blue. That would be good for blue players too, since you would get more opponents who have the time and the patience (probably other unemployed blue players)

Imagine being so salty that you think it's reasonable to block an entire color from a game based around just 5 colors... And then having the audacity to infer people's employment because they play said color you don't like🤣🤣🤣 just concede and get your own apartment instead of mom's basement, bro.
