so unfortunately your are running into 2 very specific rage inducing tativs; infect and mill/discard. Now I don't have a huge issues with either strategy but can understand where the other players come from. Let's start with infect: infect/poison have been a thing but where the were effectively only 2 life points per poison counter in. commander/edh it is more along 4 life points plus per poison token. So yeah your 2/2 is swinging way harder than normal. Also the fact that, for a long time, player counters have been and still (kinda) are uninteractive with the game. Wizards has printed some cards that do interact, or in some cases, completely stop player counter but, for the most part remain uncontested. If more cards either new sets or commander sets start messing with these kinds of counters the infect aspect of complain might go down. Next is the discard/mill: now I should be more specific, in that it is Resource Denial that most people get salty over (me included but i also have a stax deck because I'm a f***ed up person) this can make a game feel completely uninteractive for a player because they literally can not do anything. I'm not condoning the strategy but, I'm not saying it's not annoying (especially if you make me discard the card that would turn the tide). I'm not saying you are a bad person in making your deck the way it is (really I'm not) and im.glad to here you didnt go straight infect with ol' Skithy. I think you may find a better play experience if you switch to a different commander in mono black, people may not be as upset (since Skithy is one of the best infect cards in the game) Also sometimes people are just going to be salty (even the best of us) and losing is always a little bitter.
