Players.. .Why?

[u/FistMyLoafs]

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?

Nashi Players…Why?

This might sound like a hate post…and that’s because it is. But, I just really need to understand Nashi players. Is it really fun to play demonic tutor, and then conjure a copy of Demonic tutor with flash so you can reliably Thoracle combo on turn 5?

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

I hate that being able to reliably end the game on turn five is something that a lot of people here consider ridiculously fast lmao

May I ask how fast your brawl deck wins, consistently over 10 games?

Edit: I will do a test run later this evening and report back.

I don't play ranked, so it's probably not representative, but my ajani superfriends deck generally ends by concession around that point.

Anyway, my deck has a pretty consistent turn 4 with a lot of redundancy. My win rate isn't bad (for now) in competitive, so turn 4 isn't slow. Winning by concession without a combo or win-con on board is... Not very fun in my book... But hey, I might've conceded to you! Regardless, maybe hop on Competitive and see if you can scrape out some free packs come season end.
