This is the same guy that in the past made cry threads about how Swordsoul is weak and he's constantly losing, but he never showed a decklist when requested of him.

Considering his past behavior, it's unlikely he's a troll, but I won't deny the possibility.

Please No God No! Yea Probably A Troll, Albion the Shrouded Dragon dumping branded opening or playing it offers a single time destruction protection at least which does help.
But they aren't wrong, Branded/Despia has no dedicated backrow removal & can be fusion blocked easy with cards like imperm & ash which means nearly every match just boils down to luck against negate cards.

Every time I duel using Branded/Despia I wish handtraps weren't allowed & we could still have a 6th card draw phase turn one.

I disagree. He was clearly trolling then too. What you just said is pretty conclusive evidence of troll behavior.

Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

If he's trolling, he's putting too much effort into it every time, talking about dumb tech choices and what not.

But, that's just my take on it.

I understand the quote but trolling isn't inherently fueled by malice. People who troll do so because they get a response out of it they enjoy. Its not all angry fat guys. Many are simply doing it for amusement. You wouldn't call people playing Yugioh putting too much effort into it right? Trolling is just another pastime. How much hatred and malice you bring into said pastime is entirely dependent on you as a person.

Also being a troll and having a big list of dumb idea's go hand in hand. You can even believe the dumb idea's. Its how you present them and interact that matters. This person presents like a cliche. If they were just dumb they would be giving concrete examples. Hiding on purpose shows ill intent rather than simple stupidity. Stupid people don't hide anything.

And how many of the people who genuinely cry about X, Y and Z constantly, show their decklists or give examples when asked?

Or do we now count them as trolls too?

The people on the forum en masse don't show decklists when asked for them, nor give examples when they go with "the meta is nothing but combo decks ending on full omni negate boards". You need to remember that the bar on this forum is so low that people even call Blue-Eyes White Jet a negate.

On the topic of the behavior of genuine people. They have been fine from personal experience. They will mention what they play at least in general and will talk about the decks they can't deal with. That is how you know they are being genuine. They will actually put in effort to improve and understand the game.

The people you are talking about are not genuine. The bar is low because most people are not being genuine when they say those things you mentioned. They say it because its a catchphrase. Its something you say because you know its something people will be drawn to. They might not be classified as trolls but they are certainly not genuinely looking for answers or conversation. They just want to start a party based around an idea.

Well, I can applaud that you still have belief in humanity left, but from what I'm seeing, that's not the case.

They name the deck they play? Cool, this guy does it too, what next? They talk about decks they struggle with? Cool, this guy does it too.

He complained about Traptrix, while sure, Traptrix isn't some huge powerful deck, it can defeat a Branded Despia deck if it goes first and draws the right cards, which, from the current complaint, it's double Torrential Tribute, how unlikely is that to happen? Not that unlikely.

Ok this person I may have pegged wrong. I looked at the posts they make. They definitely have an attitude to them but they look semi-serious as if they just don't know how to communicate differently. Instead of a troll I will switch to them being someone who's first option is venting and whining about it. Might be a child.

And you guys all felt for him so he got what he wanted. First rule of forums is you dont give trolls attention.

That's honestly my main take as well, he's letting the salt talk.

The main issue imho is that he knows he's playing a meta deck, which every calls broken, OP, auto-win, etc etc, as you probably saw on the forum multiple times, and then he's losing because he's either putting meh cards in it that he thinks will help, I mean, in this case, Jinzo, really?, and then loses like no tomorrow due to a lack of skill and understanding of the game, and gets salty because the so called meta deck ain't winning. Or it could be plain bad luck, I've just got OTKd by Mathmech twice in a row, because I've went first both times, and my hand was unplayable with my only hand trap in one of the two duels being a Maxx "C", which got Ashed.

Him potentially being a child on top of it all just makes it more probable that it's just salt and rage, rather than trolling.

I really do prefer assuming that they're idiots. Because if I'm wrong, I still insulted their intelligence.
