Oh or if I'm playing in an fmn and someone is playing a deck they clearly spent time building and doesn't come prepared with counters or tokens and without asking reaches to use mine!

That happened once and i pulled them back, told him "they're are all different a colors sitting up front, 36 for 5.99"

He got pissed and threw his hand on the table, judge dq'd him. Lol

I throw hundreds of dollars into my decks because I have a foil fetish... 😰

I don't mind people watching 1v1 games but last week I was playing a casual game but we were testing competitive modern decks.  These two guys were watching me and this girl play.  She was running a pretty solid {B}\{W} token deck and I was running my {B}\{G} Rock deck testing {master of the feast} in it.  Well one of the guys watching just kept telling her plays, blocking suggestions, and telling her to draw the extra card for the master of feast trigger.  The guy was erking the 💩 out of me but I just let it be. 

Morale of the story..... back seat magic players grind my gears.

I am with Cltrn here. I hate when people tell my opponent how to play.

I like to actually test my deck against other decent decks, so it kinda irks me when I get paired with a new player and I'm basically guaranteed a 2-0. That doesn't help me critique my deck at all. I know that will make me sound like a total dick, but hey, that's the way it is :P

I hate when people aren't sociable and act like dicks. I like talking to my opponent and complementing them on fun plays and cool decks (like an odd 4 color midrange? deck that I played against last week), but some people are just too serious. I realize some people are just shy, I am talking about the people who are a$$holes, you can tell the difference.

My playgroup? Idk they're all heavy spikes and I'm Jinny and they're always assholes saying that they know best and I know nothing even though they only play standard, when I play everything but vintage and win? People like that. When they just don't listen
Also, Conan is right. Those people can stuff themselves.

There was this guy who was this smug douche.  He was there with his step-son and talked to the kid like he was a piece of crap.  This guy also just spoke to other people like they did not matter and his 💩 did not stink.  He comes up to me and is like "hey you interested in trading".....I'm like yea sure.  He says he wants a playset of {mutavault} and tells me to look through his binder......which I am not exaggerating when I say the total binder may have been (30) cards worth a total of $20.  He looks through my stuff and jokingly says to someone "hey I am going to rip this guy off".  At this point I am getting kinda tired of his 💩 and tell him I don't see anything in his binder.  So he asks if I want to play a game and I say sure do you play modern?  He says yes and busts out this deck full of proxies.  I pull out a deck full of Bobs, goyfs, fetches, and everything else.  I begin to stomp the hell out of this guy and his smug comments continue as I beat him.  The whole time I just think to myself....i am sitting here humble a hell playing a deck worth about $2k and you run proxies but run around here treating people like 💩 and acting like you are better than everyone here.

Yea that guy....whoever you are....you f'in erk me too [/end rant]

Ok, so this is a personal experience that technically ties into what I hate.  I don't generally have great modern/standard decks due to I am more of a casual, drafting player.  So it is a breath of fresh air whenever someone asks to borrow one.  Now when I get them back they offer some suggestions to make it better, usually high dollar cards I cannot afford, to which I tell them that.  What I don't appreciate is whenever I get the deck back, and they complain about it because they couldn't beat a certain deck with it (or some other reason).  They offer not, but forcibly tell you everything that could be wrong with it.

Needless to say, I like suggestions kept at a level headed manner of speaking.  If you start throwing a hissy-fit, I don't trade with you, I don't give you anymore decks to use, nope.  I hate it.

And that backseat magic player thing.  I remember my first fnm when my brother took me.  Was playing a Junk Doran homebrew, and was somehow doing pretty good.  Now, imagine this scenario.  You are chatting it up with the guy you're playing against when suddenly your brother (or family member) sits down next to you because he finished his games already.  When suddenly he starts suggesting plays.  My opponent just started to kind of have that face when you hate something, but you're trying to hide it with politeness.  And I told him to leave or be quiet.  Did neither, so I apologized to my opponent and we continued talking trying to block him out.  Eventually when we left I chewed him out for it, and he said that I would have lost without him.

Arrogant people giving unwanted opinions is bad.  Arrogant people giving BAD unwanted opinions is worse, because I had to explain to him play by play, why his choice was bad, lest he believe he helped me win that match, and hang it over my head.

A note:  if this happens to Any of you for any reason, CALL A JUDGE (or whoever is running it).  The judge will tell them to shut it.  If they don't, they'll likely be disqualified for giving outside assistance (and sadly, you'll probably get in some trouble, too).  If they aren't in the tournament, that's no problem.  The judge will enroll them just to DQ them.  It's happened before.  But there's a metric crapton of paperwork that goes in to a DQ, so for the love of Arceus, PLEASE don't partake in a DQ-able action

FlickerYourOwnIdentity

I probably should have, but if he was DQ'd he'd leave.  And that would be bad, because he was my only rid home while I was staying him in his apartment in Columbia.  I can't tell you where his apartment is now if you asked me, let alone when I was 12

Does anyone else think that it would be awkward if they know each other by how her spouse greets her in the morning?
Potentially. But that'd be Hells funny
