I have found that infect based decks get hated out the most, and then any player with more than one extra turn in a row usually wins or instantly dies due to the dogpile of hate.

I think infect when played to 20 is more than fair cuz its not meant togrind out to 20 ldamage anyways so its actually underpower imo if you scale it to edh

Just 2 centa from me

Silent1236

{Sorin Markov} and {Blood Moon} have been my least favorite.

infect like {blightsteel colossus} is pretty nasty. im surprised someone put {rhystic study} in their top 10. i mean its a good card but most ppl i know dont shudder when it hits the field like a {blightsteel colossus}. also players whose whole deck is counterspells and pillowfort. yea run a few counters if you play blue but dont make that the whole deck.

IntoFire

My EDH playgroup hates my {Sapling of Colfenor} + {Worldslayer} combo... I have no idea why...

{mycosynth lattice} + {darksteel forge} + {worldslayer} seems a lot worse.

MarduArrow


Nymuera

{Hateflayer}, all the untap cards really. And the {Sorin Markov} + {Erebos, God of the Dead} combo

Sparkle Ninja

I read an article on this a while back and things generally boil down to a few categories:

1) things that prevent people from playing the game

Hard locks like {{Teferi, Mage of Zhalfhir}} and {{Knowledge Pool}}, {{Stasis}} effects, and pointless MLD. Now, MLD has it's place IMO. People playing greedy mana-based or rampingout 14 lands on turn 5 without fear of repercussions should be punished. But blowing it up without a win con on board is bad.

2) Infinite combos/Turns
No one likes you taking 20 minutes to slowly kill the table with your {{Time Stretch}} + {{Deadeye Navigator}}/{{Archaeomancer}} + {{Fork}} on a {{Isochron Sceptor}}. On the other end of the spectrum, playing a deck with the sole function of killing everyone turn four like {{Ad Nauseum}} decks do is not appropriate for EDH. Go play legacy ANT.

3) Playing unfun/overplayed/overpowered generals
There is a reason people playing a whole list of generals get hated out. This includes:
Azami
Jhoira
Riku
Maelstrom Wanderer
Animar
Maralen
Zhur
Rafiq

4) Things that ignore the fact that you have 40 life.
Basically, any abusable shortcut basedon the fact that you have 40 life instead of twenty. This includes:
{{Magister's Sphinx}}
{{Sorin Markov}}
Any infect
{{Felidar Sovereign}}
{{Serra Ascedant}}
{{Divinity of Pride}}
{{Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant}}
{{Test of Endurance}}
Animar isn't that overplayed. I've seen 4 Animar decks in total in the past year

FustyDavorite

Kaalia should totes be in that list as well. Screw her

Coffee Vampire

My least favorte card has got to be {Stranglehold}. The person playing it gets to use tutors and everyone else is supremely screwed in the you-know-what?! No thanks! >:(

Arzair

But stranglehold stops opponent infinite turn combos and is awesome with  {Maralen of the Mornsong} ;) hahahahahahha so I can have my infinite turn combo.

imFourth of Phils
