Really?

[srpetrinec]

Are people too incapable of actually reading a card? Guy literally just bailed on me because I played a card that literally cannot do a single thing for several turns....just because he couldn't READ....and wasted a single destruction spell on an indestructible card!

Worse, it was like the second round of the game, and that card I played could neither block nor attack....and honestly? I didn't have any land or creatures in my hand, and not enough land played that I could use any spells! My lord, this idiot might have beaten me if he actually stuck around!

Hey buddy, no problem...I will take the free win. Perhaps learn to read, study the game before playing....Idunno.....maybe see a proctologist about your cranium?

Wow, someone was playing casually and made a mistake, realized what they did, and decided to give you the win and move on to the next game, and you felt the need to concoct this diatribe because of it?

Find your nearest patch of grass and make physical contact with it.

tell us the name of the card you played

Yes, they were embarrased by the error they made, and left. I did that a few times too, too ashamed by my stupid move to play on. With nothing, or just a rank pip at stake, why not?

This is the first time I've ever seen anyone get mad about winning...

This might be one of the most embarrassing posts I’ve read in a while. You’re publicly ranting because a stranger conceded—handing you a free win—and somehow that triggered a full meltdown?

Let’s review:

• You accused them of being illiterate.
  
• You called them an idiot.
  
• You implied they had their head up their ass.

All that... because you won.

You’re so desperate for validation that even a rage-quit from a likely newer or distracted player sent you off the rails. Honestly, it sounds like you’re more upset they didn’t stick around to admire your “genius” plays.

If this is how you react to winning, I can’t imagine what losing looks like.

I mean, I've encountered many people that:
-Did not see that I used Cavern of Souls to cast a creature to make it not be counterable.
-Do not understand that two roaming thrones will double each other's ward triggers.
-Did not see I had an open mana up to exile a card from a graveyard with keen eyed curator (either to get the 4 types to pump it to be big enough to block, win the game, or survive a damage spell. or to remove the card they're trying to reanimate/return to hand/etc)

but I never post about it lol

I've made plenty of mistakes myself. So it would be rude of me to come and flame them on the forums.

And I'll probably continue to make really dumb mistakes.

I cannot count the number of times I watch people quit because they didnt read the card, and let me make this part 100% clear... I have watched someone read a phyrexian obliterator, proceed to deal 10+ damage to it, and then ragequit when the game forced them to ACTUALLY read what the card said

sometimes it's also like... "oh ♥♥♥♥ that was my only removal card.... better go add an exile effect"

[anaris]

sometimes i try something wild because i'm not sure how the rules will interact AND one possible way it'll play out is the only chance i have to live, so if it turns out not to work that way i'm conceding

Just based on the description id say its Ketramose.

Look, I make mistakes too... but this was the beginning of the game, and as I said, I had a losing hand. Sure I will take the free win, I have a couple people that bail before they even play a card...some of these people have those poorly made 200+ card decks because they have no concept of how to balance, or think that Brawl decks are always winners.
I played a simple white/black "god" card, literally the only creature card I had in my hand, and had a crappy deal with only 3 lands and more costly spells I was barely able to play. It was only round three. If I had ANY strategy, it was simply hoping I could get to the point where the card could actually block, considering it was only like 4/1 or something....weak and incapable, more an ornament that could easily be removed, and not even hexproof, just indestructible. Pacifism or Cooped Up, or another removal or binding spell gets rid of the threat quickly.

What I am angry with is the poor sportsmanship, players that don't even try, players that bail immediately, and of course ropers. If you keep playing, even if you have nothing, like I did, THAT is your bluff, and you MIGHT actually end up beating me by the 5th round. The game is more interesting.

What I am really seeing by some of the replies here like mister Kurt Angle's Buttcrack, is that there are trolls that simply don't belong in the game whatsoever, probably don't even actually play, or are most likely a typical roping game-troll. These are players I am tired of. Is it going to make me quit? Nope. Ran into the same thing when I started playing 4-5 years ago, and only stopped because I lost my internet for several years while trying to get on disability. Still here, still seeing the same trolls, ropers, and uninspired responses.

Trust me, I ain't going anywhere, I literally have nothing else to do. I am not quitting the game, and just like the trolls, I am not going to stop posting my own views or opinions, and believe me I really don't care what some people have to say. If you can't be adult enough to just keep scrolling, you are as bad as the social media twerps.
At least use actual wit with your sarcasm. If you can't be intelligent, be funny. So far, some of you ain't.

uhhh..... losing looks better than you think.... Guess you missed a giant THANK YOU post I made for keeping a game decent, polite, and soundly trouncing me! I enjoyed the loss!
Unfortunately, the next time I played him he was more an emote spammer and a cocky sob, so I am uncertain if I will or won't play against him again.

Maybe before commenting, read some of my other posts and comments... and read this one more carefully. I will gladly accept the free wins, just makes my dailies easier. But, frankly if you can't hold a bluff past round three, you should have mulligan-ed and/or bailed before even playing a card. Obviously from a couple responses, people around here do a LOT of assuming, and pay little attention to the smaller details...probably the way they play the game as well sadly.

You completely misread or misinterpreted what was said, other posts don't matter when you make a post that completely contradicts your other post, your making yourself out to be a sore-winner, this is the point we're trying to make. Conceding has and will always be HONORABLE in MTG, just because your butt hurt because you couldn't complete a daily or achievement or something doesn't make it "bad", suck it up, go again.

If I misread a card that leads to me being on the struggle bus then of course I bail. If I made a mistake I deserve to lose. There is no where that says you must finish every game to the end.
