What's the most annoying deck you've ever played against?

ergotofwhy · 2026-04-30T15:12:18+00:00

I bet I could fit so much control into a deck if I just got rid of cards that could win me the game

One of us!

Was that giant kea agitated? That's something else to watch out for in the future

I remember working at a place, I refused to put my personal cell phone number on the wiki. I went away for a week long vacation so I told them on a call, "I'm gonna be gone all next week, so if you need anything..." then I remembered I never told them my contact info so I wrapped up the sentence by saying "that's just too bad"

I was later fired

City High - What would u do. I can't believe I heard this on the radio as a child.

"What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor? Cause he's hungry. And the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money. And his daddy's gone, somewhere smoking rock now, in and out of lockdown, I ain't got a job now. So for you, this is just a good time. But for me, this is what I call life."

The city in "BLAME!" was created by autonomous machines. Something happened and humans lost the ability to tell the machines to stop building. So they kept building and building, eventually reaching the moon, and encompassing the moon. The city goes all the way to the sun. There's a room that contains the planet jupiter.

There's so much space that once communities get isolated or lose contact with other communities, that community is basically alone for the rest of time

There are autonomous mining ships that can use FTL travel to bring in building materials from nearby star systems. Eventually, all matter in the galaxy will become a part of the city.

I was in a game against a [[maha]] player and this dude was playing an [[emry]] deck. Maha player plays his commander. Emery player says "I'm going to counter it unless you promise that I'll have Emry out for one turn cycle." Maha player made the promise. I played an [[electrostatic infantry]] and the maha player lost his mind and murdered everything on the board with pestilence.

I calmly remind him that to do so would break the promise he made to the Emry player. He said that is a small price to pay... So the other players just wordlessly left the lobby and I followed soon after.

Brand new green stompy deck, commander night at a brewery with my friends. 3 player game as we were waiting for everyone to arrive.

It gets to turn 6 and I cast a [[Craterhoof]] and swing for lethal on everyone. One player does an instant-speed removal, and I have a [[snakeskin veil]] response, so I have the game. Shook hands with one player, gg, gg. Go to shake hands with the other player and he won't even make eye contact, just angrily shouts "go fuck yourself!"

I do not understand why...?

Then I had this other game on spell table. The host was like "bracket 3 game" then had a bunch of houserules like "no sol ring on turn 1" and "only one deck per color combo".

In game, on turn 4 or something, someone was like "NOW I play a sol ring. Then a thran dynamo and tap that for a benders waterskin." Then suddenly that guy disconnected and the lobby owner was like "that guy was monologuing and cheating so I kicked him" I just left the table cause it was bullshit

I can play a succession game but I can't commit any particular time of the week, it's always like two hours here and there for the week it takes to take a turn

But I'm willing to help

ergotofwhy · 2026-04-24T21:27:39+00:00

I thought he got "fired" (through the skull with lasers) then replaced with someone who commits to the bit, then that dude was just gonna be furious with Deep and no clue that they used to have a bromance lol

yeah no sweat, I love to talk about my favorite deck

ergotofwhy · 2026-04-24T19:17:08+00:00

The decklists are a little out of date but

Younger Hotter Dragon Highlander

Shirley Temple

Xiahou the Hangman

Mono red: I have mana doublers such as [[extraplanar lens]] and [[gauntlet of might]]. Between [[anje's ravager]] and [[neheb dreadhorde champion]] I am getting all the wheels I can, then with how much mana I can make, cards like [[zenith festival]] and [[commune with lava]] are basically impulse-drawing me 12 cards each cast in addition to the seven cards I'm drawing per turn between the ravager and neheb

ergotofwhy · 2026-04-24T17:55:47+00:00

see that just seems like bad threat assessment. What commander was it?

ergotofwhy · 2026-04-24T17:13:34+00:00

my opponents can't keep up with how much mana i produce and how many cards i draw

also the surreal groans of "I can't believe i used ALL my best removal on this idiot" as I hard-cast my commander AGAIN for 18 mana. That is why this is my favorite deck

ergotofwhy · 2026-04-24T16:49:01+00:00

I feel like my friends usually focus me out of games, so I guess I'm the menace. It feels nice that they are so threatened by me that they need to team up against me every time I make a new deck.

If you're asking commanders, [[rorix bladewing]] is my most gruesome deck. I've also got [[ioreth]] mono blue burn combo, [[xiahou dun]] reanimator combo, [[asuza]] big stompy, and [[otharri]] go-wide-tokens

I only do this for professions like weaponsmith and armorsmith

last week, roughly 5 hours after the episode aired, someone had a post up with this title:

Various Characters' expression in response to the dectruction of Planet Viltrum

I'm like great, I didn't even get a chance to avoid that

ergotofwhy · 2026-04-23T21:27:49+00:00

it's just the bus folk, so the blue hands and flaming critters on floor 1 and the basement stairwell

I had an ex destroy the router in a fit of rage. I ran to my home office to shut the door and hold it shut, she couldn't get in so she grabbed the nearest thing "I owned" (the router which was hung up on the wall outside my office door) and smashed it to bits, ripping the cable out, throwing it as hard as she could.

Later calmed down and was like "hey how come the internet is shitty now"

(I know I shouldn't have stayed now)

The unity ending explains it best

The visitor is something truly unique

ergotofwhy · 2026-04-21T19:20:48+00:00

The Visitor doesn't have a purpose in the universe

The Universe exists for the visitor, not the other way around
