Rude Magic Players

[LadyGrixis]

I swear, the next time I sit down to a match and someone is unnecessarily rude to me, I'm going to one-by-one start slowly de-sleeving and ripping up his/her cards. It's gotten to the point where I really don't even care to play anymore, because I just don't want to face the reality that (50% of the time) I'll be pitted against a grand douche.

Ex.) Last night, my first match was against a Mono-Black. I was running Izzet. She was a very VERY nice opponent and we parted ways happily. My second match, however, dude comes strolling up and throws his stuff on the table....then I ask him: "Bad day?" His response?: "I just don't give a f***." At that point, I should have known he was going to play Esper (a continuance of his horrid d-bagness); and for the two rounds I played, he would play, then look off with disinterest or crack jokes with his friends instead of engaging in the game. I scooped on the second round after he cast Elspeth, already having Ashiok & Jace, Architect on the field.

I TRULY wanted to tell him to go f*** himself, considering the rest of the rounds he walked around with the same raunchy, better-than-thou attitude.

Why....just why do these people have to exist? I get being competitive, but that shiz is ridic.

Sucks to hear that it happens to more people than just me, but at least we can all be happy it's not the yu-gi-oh community.

What yugioh community, you have to make 5 grand a month to play competitively..


Edit: spend**

Bahahahaha, ouch.

Grixis, we have a mix of those here as well. I play both sides of the field and am just the really nice guy who gets along with everyone. However I rolled an esper last week with my heroes last fnm and loved it. I have about four esper decks and the rest is either mono red g/r aggro or g/w aggro. So its a bunch of net decks to practice. But I've got my deck almost down to a science. And when I finish working my lands I won't be an .rearexit., but I'll be a lot more smug around the cockiness. I say don't get discouraged just win at whst your doing not necessarily the match. But pull yout deck out and get that thing synergized to the max and roll some fools. You can't argue with record!


Edit: When I say I have I mean the store has people with those decks.

I run into scrubs on MTGO sometimes, but I can just close the chat, or slow-play if I want. Overall, everyone I've played has been pretty nice.

As for paper, I play mostly with my friends. On the occasions I play out, I never really have problems. Sometimes the younger people with a group of their buddies can start to show off and say some things - but that is just how young people are.

I am 6'2, I'm pretty intimidating, and i tell jokes and laugh. Got nothing to prove at this point in my Magic career. Young people still got something to prove, and Magic is their outlet for that expression.

@ Dudecore: This guy was my age I guess, but he's probably been playing for a decade or a little under. I suppose my year of experience is distasteful to him. Regardless, everyone starts out somewhere; and if I had been running the Gruul Stomp instead of my Izzet last night (I really just wanted to have fun, not face-stomp for once), then he would have taken it up the butt.

@ DirtyMustachio: I'm still tweaking my Izzet because I don't have all the cards for it yet (waiting on a couple {Cyclonic Rift}s and {Counterflux}s to come in), therefore it's still got a lot of work that needs to be done. HOWEVER, that should have been obvious from the get-go. And the fact that I told him "I mostly just play for fun" must have increased his contempt for me tenfold. Sometimes I just want to play the friggin' game and chill......ON HALLOWEEN AND EAT CANDY! But noooooo.....I ended up dropping after playing him and found someone to play EDH against because he put such a bad taste in my mouth.

Also, I may change my Izzet into a little Grixis flavor. Add in some {Thoughtsieze} & {Hero's Downfall}.......then they can all eat it.

That sounds fun

I play esper... 😢

I play esper... 😢

Me too, friend. And no one at my place is a d-bag, everyone knows each other, we get like 20 people and everyone's chilling

[LadyGrixis]

Yes, but I like you Otis. Lol. Sadly, Esper is just known as the "douchy" deck. It's not your fault -pats-

[Dudecore]

Part of good Magic playing is not playing "on tilt" constantly. I don't know if you're interested in playing at a high level, but it's one of the key things you must overcome.

[DirtyMustachio]

We weren't saying all esper players are douchy. Lol. But the way the deck plays is bullying the opponent essentially lol.

What exactly do you mean by "on tilt"?
