Why do you guys not like control?

Why do you guys not like control?

Which type of control? The only control I don't like is stack because it is boring to play.

Why do you guys not like control?

I don't think they like playing against heavy control. Who does?  😒

[BlackJester]

Goldfishing: playing a deck with an imaginary opponent. Sometimes, just seeing how long a deck takes to deal lethal damage. MtG solitaire.

[Dudecore]

Planeschase: the best multiplayer magic variant.

When i started it was at a unique shop that had some of the top players in the state who all favored control. There was only 8 of us most nights, and it was unusual to see less than 6 u/w control. In that time i had magic rules, tricks and terms beaten into me loss after loss for 9 months before i could play on an even field with them.

Here are the terms i had to learn early
Permission: responsive spells like {mana leak} that force your opponent to ask permission to play anything
Recursion: perminents coming back from the graveyard
Jank: something that is pretty powerful, but not very playable ({door to nothingness} and {fiend hunter} {angel of glory's rise} combo} for example)
The names of various planeswalker abilities base on the card with the closest effect, {jace the mindsculptor} 0:{brainstorm}
broken: when a card or effect allows insane advantage for a low cost. {timewalk}
gotta go, but ill post more later

Please sticky this. It would help.

Please sticky this. It would help.

Sticky: when a mod puts a thread at the top for an undefined amount of time.
Mod: Trollsbane

Scoop: take your hand and scoop all your perminents into it signalling that you concede.
Loop: when something continues until a player makes it stop (three {oblivion ring})
"infinite": a player short cut to imply more than theyll ever need, the rules do technically state you need to define an end point so some players deny this short cut.
{Fog}: prevent all combat damage in any way. ({gideon jura} most common use)

[BlackJester]

Kingmaker: In multiplayer, doing something that essentially lets another player win the game.  I.e. {Earthquake}'ing for enough damage to kill all but one player, not yourself.

I have seen and heard...

GTFO: When someone cast a counter.

I have also heard this used when someone exiles something.

So if you dissipate a spell do people say GTFO twice?

That really made me laugh.

[Fishsticks123]

Why thank you. Glad to be of assistance.😄

"GTFO, GTFO!"
Yes you would say it twice!
