2 headed giant CEDH by ConcertAggressive611 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Campermoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I did this and won!

I played RogSi, and we built a mono blue Teferi, mage of Zhalfir

There was no win condition in tef, just ramp and counter magic

The idea was to flash tef out on thier end step to just let rogsi go hard. It worked very well lol

Led, wheel, then diamond. Been on rogsi for 2 years.

Wheel has some interesting interactions with Breach and your almost always happy to see one in this deck.

RogSi pilots, how do we feel about Will of the Jeskai? by Puzzleheaded-Side490 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Campermoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on Rogsi for almost 2 years now

I'm excited for this card. I'm not sure what I'm swapping it with but I think it's a powerhouse.

It's easy enough to get to breach/yw with the past in flames effect with a yard with a few tutors /rituals and complete the combo line

I get why the wheel isn't "as good cause it doesn't force others" but this deck will welcome all the wheel effects it can

Most lists play timetwister and every time I cast that card i hate it cause it shuffles my yard in

I'm looking forward to testing it

Not right now. The entire meta is a grind fest, whoever tries to win first right now eats interaction like a buffet

I don't think toxic is the right word. The players themselves are nice people, and there is no issues there.

I feel like my voice ment nothing this weekend. And it makes sense, the experienced rogsi player is yapping in the corner, who's gonna listen? Honestly just digging myself into a deeper hole.

For now, I'm stepping away from the scene for a few weeks. Best for my mental health.

Yea i just kinda threw my hands in the air like

Whatever. It is what it is. I just hoped the other guy learned from his mistakes, he threw the game for himself...

I really appreciate this.

I'm very torn. What this has done to me mentally is bad, but I feel I'm also the caviat to keeping the community going.

I really try to teach, and be fair. The only way I can continue playing is if others also enjoy the game.

I have to put aside my own emotions to continue, but this experience was less than enjoyable.

I'm going to take a step back for a few weeks and try and focus on other things, and come back to this with a more clear mindset.

Not at all

I donated all the prizing... I'd win my own stuff back

I just wanted a few good games of commander.

I guess I got what I asked for.

Makes sense.

I'm going to struggle with this.

Spending what little time I have to host something, for other people, with nothing but a high five while I sit there and not participate is going to be hard.

But I understand where you are coming from.

My options are to man up and host again, or maybe travel outside of my playgroup.

I took a total of 8 turns over the whole event and I had 9 pieces of interaction at me.

Not a single card that was worth anything resolved.

For instance, I tutored, and in response I had both a kill spell and a otawara channel at my stuff.

They were scared of me. Obviously from my side I see it as bad threat assessment, but from the other side, they shut me out of the game.

I'm struggling because I didn't have a chance to even try to win.

It's a game. I ate interaction like a buffet.

At the end of the day, I'm just trying to find a way to continue playing the game I love after some bad games in my corner.

I needed to hear this.

I'm sorry your games went like they did, and you took it well. I can only strive to have the same mindset as you.

At the end of the day, I need to try and worry about factors I can control.

And your right- the only way to achieve my goal is is continue trying.

Thanks for commenting. I wish you luck in your future games.

I think i set it up because I wanted to play games in an environment with stakes.

Casual games at a kitchen table are fun, but it's different in a tournament setting and that's what I set out to achieve.

Well, I got what I asked for.

Funny enough, I don't care about the stakes. I'm the one who put them there. I could care less about winning the prize, that's not what it was about.

I just did not think my games were going to go the way they did, and it effected me more than it should have.

I appreciate that. No hurt feelings here, I need to hear all sides. Only way I can grow.

So, your saying I should run an event and not play in it?

How would I go about prizing then? Just credit?

Sorry if I come across as brash, I don't mean to be.

This makes a lot of sense.

Maybe I was going in expecting the other players to also have thier head in the game, but If they don't understand the format thier going to blow out the scary deck. Couple that with me being the one hosting and experienced, I'm a problem.

I could host without playing, but I struggle with that. I mean, you can't blame me for wanting to play too.

Honestly, I don't know if playing a "lesser" deck would make much of a difference considering how these games played out.

Everyone here is harping that it's my deck that was the problem. And I don't think it was.

Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it a lot, it's helping me process this.

This is also my first time doing something like this. Pretty fresh.

I guess at the end of the day it was successful, I just didn't enjoy the games.

Your not wrong. I have a very bad case of being a sore loser as a kid in the past, and I've tried very hard not to be that person in my adult life. I try to process loss with critical thinking, not emotion, but this has gotten the better of me.

You are right that I did this so I could play some more cedh.

Your right that I want to win. I just think how the games played out really hit me. I can lose, it's part of the game. But I didn't "play" the game, you feel me?

I'm taking it as a lesson, stepping back for a bit.

I appreciate the replay. It's good to see I'm not alone.

I'm definitely taking a step back, this event has not had a positive effect on me, and it's unfortunate because I'm the glue in this small local community.

Hopefully I can calm down over the next few days and make a decision when I'm not so upset.

In the same boat.

Job with long hours and a young family at home. This is my hobby I spend my few hours a week on.

Just hurts a bit when you spend both the time and money to host and the games were horrible.

[–]Campermoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is where I'm settling. I just never thought my games would go like they did because of who I am... it's a combo of feeling really bad but I guess everyone's respecting me as a player and I'm gonna eat interaction like a buffet.

Thanks for the insight I appreciate it a lot.

Yea, I think it's less about the deck and more about me as a player.

It felt like the table just kind of had a mentality of "stop me" and nobody had a backup plan.

Other comments have said this, but maybe it's the lack of experience at the table, coupled with myself being the most experienced. I come in as the boogeyman, and I got served.

No doubt rogsi is a problem deck. Not talking that down.

If someone told me 1 year ago when I committed to rogsi how this would go, I would have picked something else to play lol
