What makes you tick?

[Mattao19]

I only net decked once and regretted it. What really gets me going with magic is when someone is like "Yeah I haven't lost in two weeks" and then they win. I also build all my decks and have a good time of it. What really ticks me off is when someone is sitting across the table with their legacy deck UNSLEEVED! I also get ticked off when someone asks to play my deck and I ask which one  and the response I get is "that aggroey one". Most of my decks are aggro.

I never use sleeves. Ever.

May I ask why?

It's extra money that I don't need to spend. They make my deck huge and slippery. (minds out of the gutters, y'all.) And if I want to keep the cards in decent condition, I'll just play on a clean table with clean hands.

But shuffling will damage the borders! Whenever I see an in sleeves deck all I want to do is just buy them sleeves lol

Actually it ends up being worth the small price you pay in the end. Playing without sleeves will lower the value of your cards.

Unless you don't play with valuable cards. But believe me, when you have a deck where 1 card is worth $300 you'll be using sleeves.

May i ask what card is 300? O: i only know of bl being ridiculous

[Ekann1]

Most of the power nine are crazy expensive, and a legacy/vintage deck full of old duals and fetches needs sleeves.

{mox jet}
{mox sapphire}
{mox pearl}
{mox emerald}
{mox ruby}
{underground sea}
{tundra}

Legacy duals, certain foils, alpha/beta stuff, P3K cards, etc.

When your opponent rushes you when you are going a decent speed. Like I think for a second and he asks me if it's his turn yet. Chill for a second dude.

The first time I went to an official event was Theros pre release and game 1 was against my county champion.
He spent the whole game loudly sighing at my plays, laughing and yelling at his friends and untaping his cards when I wasn't finished. He beat me 2-0 and afterwards said "damn I came here because I thought I would get to play against good players."
I've played against him since and had a judge give him a warning but players like this really put me off playing outside my group if friends.
I'm going to a modern tournament on Wednesday and he's going to be there. I'm dying to beat him just so I can quote him.

.love. people like this.

I hate when players don't look at me or laugh ... That said, when my opponent laughs and we joke around and stuff, those are hands down to best games


Or those super clutch games that win with a top deck and you guys have been neck and neck the entire game, that's the reason I play. Even games I lose that happen that way are way more enjoyable than games I win against players who get angry or depressed or upset


I had one game back when I played Grixis control that he played {Elspeth Suns Champion} and I top decked {Dreadbore}. He out loud said ".love. you!, no I mean .love. Dreadbore!" Trying to correct himself.... He also said .love. you to me when I dropped {Jace Memory Adept} on him. I hate that guy >.>

What makes me tick (and I definitely do this myself lol) is when people try to justify there somewhat bad cards saying that if I have x and y out and my opponent is playing green on a Tuesday night if it's raining outside. I win on the spot!! Lol

Basically people who defend their shitty combo cards bc there's that 1 tiny scenario that they go big!!

This. So much this.

Guy tried to convince me that {Sire of Insanity} was better than an Elspeth in a top deck war ..

Yes! My friend did this  one time with a Gruul deck, and I said that just about every deck ever is going to take him down, because they can mess up his combo. He responded with saying that if they were running mono Blue control and had out 6 4/4 creatures and it was turn 3 they would win. 😓

Sire is a good top deck late game, but Elspeth is the second best in standard right now, number 1 being {Sphinx's Revelation}
