Title: Discussion about honesty/fair play
Post by: Noblellama on November 08, 2014, 01:36:25 PM
Cocky and arrogant legacy player comes to draft last night and sits down at the table and says he is only here for the promo and then won't shut up about his legacy deck and its win/loss.

I play him in round 2, he wins round 1 by top decking the only card that would of saved him, didn't feel bad about that loss.

Round 2 same scenario except he swings and needs that same card so he treasure cruises looking for it and gets it and I die.

3 minutes after the round I realize that TC is a sorcery and that he cheated the win and his response when confronted? You should have noticed...

Ouch! What a douche!! That's actually so stupid!!

How long after the match did you confront him? Bc after a certain point what can you do?

But still there's no excuse for him to cheat like that

It does suck. I had a guy do something similar. I used a pact spell. I forgot to pay for it (my own fault) then he reminds me acts all sorry but doesn't want to let me pay for the pact. All good but don't act like your trying to be nice but can't. If I was smart I should have said it was too late and I was already in my first main phase. But that win must have meant a lot to him. If I play him again I'm gonna slow play and take 10 minutes each phase to make sure I don't miss anything. Maybe bore him to death.

Well to be fair, Noble the Judge can't rewind time. He can give a warning i think?

And also Rass no offense but depending on the event I'd call you out on that as bad as it seems it's your fault you missed the trigger and even if it is your mp you still lose.

As I said its my own fault I deserived to lose. But call it what it is. Don't say I don't want to do it. If he didn't want to he could have not said anything.

Also he missed the trigger. I was in my main phase casting a spell. I should have said its too late. But I messed and I gave him the win he earned. I just didn't need to hear him for the next five minutes how sorry he is. I don't like the fake people.

Well... Limited and FNMs teach us very well about misplays

So at bigger events you don't do it

I take my time in sealed and draft and I do pretty well for not liking limited.

A deck conceit is very important
And so is removal/taking advantage of opponents land screw

I don't let people rush me on my turn, math is very important and miscalculations can turn into a full swing of nothing of you can swing and start forcing options. I like it when the lgs game runner thinks someone has a stacked deck and then I run that deck over :)

Deck conceit wins over expensive cards...but a turn 4 Sidisi ain't bad either when opponent has only 1 plain 😹
