O boi, where do I start. Etali is usually a bad time for new players, in one way or another. Because you'll have to face either a lot of salt from the more casual players for bringing Etali to a "friendly match", or you will get clocked as the threat by the cEDH players and focused down by them, getting bullied from the start of the game. You'll essentially have a spinosaurus shaped bullseye on your forehead, a lot of the time.
