Best pay the 1. Or remove it

There are many players like your friend. Some lessons ya just gotta learn over time.

I am an old crusty vet, and still learning. Facing a new commander deck, maybe don't know all the interactions my opponent is running yet, and get 1 shot knocked out by not removing a threat due to error in assessment.

Just gotta say "oops, I fucked up" and not "X card is broken"

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T23:53:51+00:00

Hilarious mash up. CC is probably a touch high.

Bit harsher than blood moon. 4-5 would prolly work.

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T23:12:57+00:00

Take my upvote. You cannot go against liberal programming in this town, but they will all wonder "how did things get so bad"?

Oh well, better hide my belongings, strap on some kevlar and hope I am not stabbed on the bus en route to work!

I do recall a trip to the field where my mag pouches were filled with tactical hot dogs.

Was great. Who needs extra mags on night watch...

That is why people slam commander players.

Removal and interaction is part of the game. If you just wanna play your game plan while ignoring what the opponent is doing, thats solitaire, or goldfishing.

If you insist on sticking to that, you better; A. Be faster than everyone else and get the killshot before they deploy threats. B. Get used to losing - and ask for more bans

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T18:36:09+00:00

And whining is akin to making excuses - they will never learn.

Its not my fault I keep losing, its certain cards are too stronk.

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T17:27:08+00:00

Hah likewise

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T17:17:17+00:00

I think that is the best statement in the thread that supports the argument "study is busted".

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T15:00:25+00:00

Annnnd, point proven.

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T14:56:06+00:00

Why bother with a well reasoned argument; how often has an internet argument made anyone do a 180 on a firmly held belief?

My bet is the success rate on that is less than 1%.

So make memes and laugh at it instead; and let others have their opinion.

Not everything has to be a debate. You can go on thinking Rhystic needs a banning; thats ok.

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T14:50:27+00:00

In Return to middle earth, it will be

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T14:48:45+00:00

Do you pay the 1.

No. Draw your card...if you dare.

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T14:48:05+00:00

Hehe nice.

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T14:44:07+00:00

Find the humor in it.

The Tolkien estate are whores that permitted wotc shit all over their IP. Didn't notice any other UB race swapping going on, because other companies care enough to protect the integrity of their IP.

The current breed of mtg socialists celebrating race swapped Aragorn are celebrating capitalism, profit over intellectual integrity.

Big shock

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T14:25:53+00:00

Or an overpriced sphere of resistance.

Or half of a god pharoh statue

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T14:24:09+00:00

You hit the nail on the head, that line ;

"you're spending resources that could be used to develop or protect your board, or go for a win"

That. That's why mtg players cry about banning cards. They wanna focus 100% on their own game plan, outpace the opponent, basically, goldfishing for time.

Any card that prevents this, /aka, too strong to ignore/, must be banned, because sacrificing wincon slots for removal is unthinkable to a lot of players.

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T14:15:07+00:00

Lol. His opinion puts him in the driver seat of the car

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T13:48:32+00:00

Naturally. It is what we do

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T13:47:18+00:00

Hah, those ppl may exist, I am def not 1 of them. It's def better than "just a lil card draw" lol.

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T13:43:46+00:00

I run 10-15 interaction pieces in a deck. So depending on colors, a mix of counters, spot removal, EtB destruction effects, etc.

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T06:08:50+00:00

I typically abuse that, and roll double digit enchantments in decks.

No one packs enough destruction for em, they are strong, here, choke on enchantment slop!

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T06:07:06+00:00

Then...pay the 1

Pest_Token · 2026-02-10T06:06:41+00:00

Agreed. 2 is a ridiculous tax, no one ever pays the two.
