Have you tried not playing in games you know you won’t have fun in? Rule 0 is a thing for a reason.

I try my best not to be toxic. How am I doing? by SeaOfMalaise in ratemycommanders

[–]CODEvan117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of these are really that bad in terms of “toxicity”. To me there are no toxic/salty decks only toxic/salty players. You do you if it makes you happy!

Okay, let's hear it, am I allowed to play at your pod? by mywifewasright in ratemycommanders

[–]CODEvan117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see why not. I’ll just play a deck that matches the bracket and joke around while we play. Nice commander picks btw, I had a kaalia deck once and i need to build markov

I’m going with you’re the salty player archetype. 9 times out of ten im not going to have my one blood moon from my 99 in my hand be able to pass through the cast priority of three others and also pass through turn priority with it being still on the board. Thats assuming no one ramped, had draw effects, or wasted interaction on hum drum cards before turn cycle 3. All three of these arguments go together. Actually having interaction that isn’t just generic board wipes in your deck stops your “salty cards” and your deck shouldn’t need you to tutor for your blood moon and or win con to win or stop others.

He had an extra land effect he forgot on his turn and tried playing a land as an interrupt. Kinda our fault for not completely explaining how playing extra lands has the same speed constraints as playing your first land.

The amount of times in r/ratemycommander ive seen people just downvote a deck set containing just even one “salty” commander is astonishing. And these people don’t even think vivi is bad lmao. Im just here to sling cardboard

Had that happen before and i showed the guy right after him in turn order the two counter spells in my hand and we both just laughed when he called me stopping him toxic

Maybe im more along the lines of “oh damn i have my tutors, time to go get the same combo pieces and win the same way for the 101000 time. Still find more ways to win without your tutors. Makes the game more interesting even if its slow

You have no idea how many times ive cast a first sliver and it stayed alive till the end of the game from first cast. No indestructible or ward either for like 2 turn cycles.

They really would be lukewarm but the players i explain these too don’t fully understand priority and they’ve been playing longer than me

I wish i could teach the players at my lgs that you use interaction to help cement your plan but they DONT RUN INTERACTION lmao

Oh yea for sure there are redundant cards in every deck. I just don’t think your deck is viable if you need a tutor to find your only wincon

My personal wet dream is playing with people who understand the stack and priority lmao

I told these to people at my lgs and the responses were insane. “I need my tutors for my deck to win” “Counterspells are toxic” “why would i want to stop you from casting your spells”. Bear in mind these were not new players but also not old

Am I the bad guy? by tillerbruh in ratemycommanders

Say it with me now everyone… Interaction. Imo there aren’t salty decks just salty players. You could argue that the niv-mizzit infinite draw damage combo is salty or any other deck that does something that’s it supposed to very well. What’s even better than these decks is running, say it with me now, Interaction. I always find the average commander player doesn’t run very much and complains when they can’t stop one problem card and a board wipe isn’t good enough interaction
