Wow, this goofy mother****er is actually running a Flameshadow Conjuring / Cultivator of Blades deck?!? What's next, Boros Valor tokens!?! Holy **** - now he's trying to stick Kessig Prowler and Outland Colossus with menace auras/equipment/meld :takei::ookay::takei:??? It's like this idiot purposely builds around stupid off the wall ideas!

I'm a super tryhard because I'm terrible at the game. This means that 95% of the card pool is off limits to me because it's unplayable trash. Don't bother arguing with me about it, either, because you're wrong.

I get caught up in trying for clever Johnny builds in particular after watching the pro tours sealed draft rounds. Great ideas and then you realise what might work in a 40 card deck does not work out so well at 60, as much as anything due to rarity restrictions. Finding the best cards to support is not that easy without a lot of play testing. But still love the noxious gear hulk into shaheli artistry. When it comes off it's sweet. But this is Duels so the hulk is dead as soon as he hits the board so ends up being a 5cc murder.

I just play whatever archetype looks OP in the current meta. RG Moss? Ramp it up! Vehicles, all aboard! I am the worst :evil:

Also from earlier thread: I didn't even realize we had Midnight Oil in Duels... literally never seen it played.

<--- Wow, just look at this awful tryhard. Takes the most obvious deck ideas and thinks they're clever just because he was the first to post it - not even finished lists. He even earns a lot of praise for it; even though he's generally too lazy to make a full write-up.
As a player he thinks he's good, but then commits horrid mistakes; can't even correctly utilize the friggin Duels interface at times.
Also, he's playing any deck to win, cheap as he is; and while he will sometimes update the decks his conviction tells him which cards are good or bad, and it takes a plane crashing to persuade him otherwise.
His lame excuse to not having played in a tourney is that his laptop is not set up to record/stream... maybe he's just scared to get his ass handed to him.

Also, worst of all: His favourite colour is Green. Get lost, tree-hugger.

wow, Modulo understands this thread the best i think. Look at Hakeem's stupid attempt for crissakes, it's more of a boast than a roast.

My decks are exuberant, and I want the world to know. I try to stand out and break cards people call hot garbage. Telling Time, Retreat to Emeria, Geistblast, Dramatic Reversal, & Pia's Revolution are my favorite cards and combo is my favorite archetype.

Too p***y to play a good aggro deck in a tournament though (because removal), like people actually play removal these days.

you still haven't told me what to GeistBlast in your GeistRamp deck!! How can the world know it's good if you aren't transparent about ideal targets?! Is it Part the Waterveil? That's it, isn't it? I keep thinking it should be a Surge'd Fall of the Titans or something.

I'm too old, tired and broken to even roast myself so I quote others who align with my shortcomings.

I think Elk is handsome.

I get easily frustrated when unlucky or when I make a mistake, or when my opponent is exceptionally lucky. I am getting better at this.
I spend too much time on deck ideas that don't pan out, then I revisit them again and again. I should move on to something better instead of being clingy to concepts I find clever.
I care too much about the outcome, taking no comfort in whether I played well or not. There are games I can't win, I should stop whining about it and move on.
I have weird brain farts - sometimes I make plays I cannot explain when I know I know better, and I don't know why. I can't explain it. I HATE that.
I get married to cards. When I am convinced a card is amazing, you can't talk me into cutting it from a deck, even with good reasons. Too many sacred cows.
I still hold myself to standards like I play Magic super-seriously 3-6 hours a day. I expect the results without the practice. That is stupid.

I tend to play like I don't know what I'm doing. I keep bad hands and don't mulligan enough.
I build theme decks that don't work because I can't figure out which cards are bad within the theme. I build synergy decks that don't work because I include too many cards that don't synergize. I build good-stuff decks that don't work because I can't tell the good-stuff from the somewhat-good-stuff.

I am addicted to raw power. This leads me to an unhealthy obsession with cards that can take over games or win on their own. This also exemplifies why I have an unhealthy hatred of countermagic.


One I haven't seen yet (but is similar to CGB's comment), I become attached to cards and will play poorly/ make poor decisions to keep them in play. This sometimes leads to keeping them in hand way too long because I don't want them to be removed (or I don't have the means to protect them). I chalk this up to rarity restrictions but still.....

I also play a few too many games against the AI (deck building/testing, grinding, health reasons) and then have skewed expectations when I venture on to the ladder (why didn't they tap every creature and vehicle on my turn????)

This guy plays blue because the islands have the tears of his opponents on the art and he gets giddy like a school girl when he counters someone and secretly sits there like a douche after countering for 3 turns in a row thinking about how mad his opponent is but he doesn't have the balls to play mono blue control and even though he says he's blue for life he played Jund good stuff from 20 to 40 and didn't make sure his deck submission was correct so he could avoid embarrassing himself on stream in the tournament what a pathetic scrub

I'm the guy that will be losing horribly to a linear aggro deck, taking time to explain to my opponent where he could have better sequenced his cards. I'm also the best deckbuilder in Duels,despite having been away for 2 months from magic and suffering from slight silexiad !
I would also like a seal clubbing t-shirt, because i'm a special snowflake !

That was a l33t post, Rabblemaster. Unfortunately, your dyslexia joke missed the mark.

The Rack was the best. I miss those Mind Twist, Hypnotic Spectre (what a nightmare) decks. I remember very early iterations of Duels usually had a Black hand destruction deck.

Ah but they weren't "fun" were they? Had to cut that archetype from being possible in Duels didn't they? Better off keeping the watered down versions of a much fairer deck like Goblin Gangland. :V

I don't know why but I never minded hand destruction. It wasn't a NPE like land destruction was. Losing cards from my hand was like losing them on the board, and remember how people would totally play around that stupid Cat that made you discard a card at random? It was so funny.

My play style doesn't need roasting because you legitimately can put the Willbreaker into any deck and it will work. Guaranteed. 100% of the time.

What? All those losses? Clearly the opponents are all cheaters.

I make extended seven card combo decks and then get all butt hurt when they don't come off. I cry when opponents steal my creature for a turn with Act of Treason. If they steal them permanently I find out where they live and post dog poop through their letter box.
