    Re: While Playing on MWS.....

    To be fair, if I'm running astral grief I expect to have to make players undo quest rewards. There's no way I'm gonna let the existence of that card slow down the play experience, once they use one, sure, but not till then. Same for draw steps. If I have something to do before a draw step I say 'before you draw' and then click end turn. I'm not going to force them to ask if it's ok to draw every time.

    Generally speaking I'm pretty relaxed. I allow take backs unless someone has been a ratbag, I forgive misclicks, forgetfulness etc. Janky decks are good to play against now and again because they often create unusual game states or give you deckbuilding ideas. I won't be hurried though. If someone starts trying to hurry me my by spamming ok? and starting their turn before I'm finished I'll ask them nicely to stop and if they don't I'll quit. Playing under the gun is fine in a tournament, but I'm not purposefully trying to get a game finished in x minutes when playtesting.

    My only 'whine' is saying 'this matchup is bad for me' when it is, but equally when I crush someone because it's a good matchup for me I say so, apologetically. I'll admit to playing terribly when I am, and if someone makes a stupid error/forgets to draw I'll correct it for them. I'm happy to discuss the game afterwards with most guys, I think post-mortems are an important way to learn. Whenever I playtest with my group we help each other figure out 'what went wrong', and I suspect it's one of the main reasons why my group is as proficient as it is.

    Re: While Playing on MWS.....

    My favore MWS moment still has to be prior to Realms, while I was still tweaking my Taheo Rush/Gifts deck... I had pretty soundly beaten some guy in back to back games and he asks 'Nice deck, where did you get it?', the clear implication that I was net-decking.

    So.. in response I posted the link to my tcgplayer blog that detailed about 4 months of tweaking and trying that deck over and over at real events, my successes and failures.. everything to show that I was not netdecking, unless of course you can netdeck your own deck.

     

    Made me feel damn good that it performed well enough that it annoyed someone enough to call me a netdecker.

    Re: While Playing on MWS.....

    I saw Deathfist/The Pain mention this in a post earlier, and I wanted to chime in on it.

    Activating cards when you don't have priority, or in the midst of your opponent resolving a separate effect, is incredibly rude. This is probably my biggest pet peeve on MWS. The worst part is not only is it rude, it is poor play! If you sit there and do random stuff, you are giving me information you shouldn't be. People, Junking in the middle of my Info Gathering is not bright. If you really, really want to quest off Glous immediately, say "Wait" or "in resp" or something.

    When someone continues to "play through" my actions after being asked to stop, they earn a disconnect from me.

    And as to OP, yes, lots of people are jerks. Dunno why anonymity + audience = ***, but it does.

    Re: While Playing on MWS.....

    On MWS I always play under my tag thehamiltonhawk... I rarely win as many of you I am sure have witnessed. I do not recall ever being rude to anyone and I don't care how competitive you are there is no reason to be rude or obnoxious to someone your playing a game with.

    Interesting enough it amazes me at how many sore winners there are. I can understand someone who looses becoming rude. I don't agree with it but I can understand it. However, when you beat beat me and my sub-uber deck is it required to harrass and berate me? My deck lost... is it too much to ask for just a simple "Thanks for the game"?

    I just played against a Blaize burn deck as boomkin. This isn't so rude as it was funny. I baited him to play Fizzle, then landed a Moonfire and my super secret tech, Flight Form!

    Kysuke plays Flight Form from Hand
    Kysuke: End my turn
    Kysuke: =)
    ZOZO: just for me
    ZOZO: is a side card
    Kysuke: main
    ZOZO: stupid boy
    System: Player Lost

    That's just a bad mage player if he can't deal with Flight Form.

    Re: While Playing on MWS.....

    To be fair it's a Blaize deck. The bulk of its deck targets heroes. But Kyusuke's little post implies after sideboarding. I mean...mage not having ability-hate (especially when some of their ability hate is um...redonk?!) against Boomkin games 2 and 3 is a little...um...yeah you get where this is going.

    Re: While Playing on MWS.....

    No Flight Form was in my maindeck. Other than Flight Form, which no one maindecks, what other abilities would warrant a mage burn deck to maindeck Spell Steal? Form of the Serpent I guess.

    Think harder. There's a reason 4x Absorb Magics and at least 3x Sacred Purifications were being run these past couple months.

    Nope. I can't think of any ongoing abilities that are prevelant in the meta that are especially hurtful for a mage burn deck... Are there priest and paladin burn decks that I don't know about?

    I think you misunderstood. Was referring to your game being like game 2 or 3 of a match, where players had a chance to side-deck. Based on what your opponent said anyway.
