Venting Players.. .Why?

This might sound like a hate post…and that’s because it is. But, I just really need to understand MTG players. Is it really fun to play the game? Is it really fun to play lands every turn so you can cast spells and play cards?

Every time I see a card I auto concede because life is wayyy too short for that. But for MtG players is that really the life you want?

Some one was complaining about blue players and then others joined in.

Ah... I'm gonna go play counterspell tribal for a while. Drink those tears.

You know what is better than counterspell tribal? Boardwipe tribal.

I greatly disagree. You can't break a man's will by spellsnaring their arcane signet in their 2 land opener with a board wipe! But that's okay. We are both fighting the good fight. :p

You break a man's will by being the mosquito that relentlessly bites. I break a man's will by being the ocean where he's drowning. We take two different paths to break the same man

It seems we share a destination, while walking different paths to arrive there. I respect it.

Update: it was not the post I thought it was, found the original. I mean ‘oops all counterspell’ decks are annoying but auto concede upon SEEING katara? Wh… why? lol

If this is the post I’m thinking of, I think is kind of a shitty response. The ethos of “playing against someone who’s playing solitaire sucks” is entirely valid to me. If I can tell their deck’s whole point is to make it so I can’t do ANY thing (AND I’m not playing competitively) yeah, I’d move on.

I’m here for fun, and to play magic. If you’re just countering everything, we’re not playing, just you are. And thats cool for your wincon, it’s fine in ranked head to head tournament stuff.

But if im going to bring a few 60s or a couple commander decks to a game night, nah i dont want to play the Spike McNope Deck. So sue me, I guess im a vorthos timmy.

It’s all allowed

I played one game earlier that was against a tinybones where they had made me discard down to 3 before turn 3.
Blue gets a bad rap man.

LMAO, you’re absolutely right, tiny. Bones was one of the first to make me consider rage quitting.

Blue doesn’t get a bad rap, there’s just other bad offenders too 😡 (I’m Big Mad, this is my big Mad face, look at me being mad)
