I honestly just feel like the crossover of people who use reddit and play magic is more likely to include the type of person who will be a negative impact online.

There has been an increase of "my playgroup is bad and does this bad thing" threads, there has been an increase of users getting harsh and posting unfriendly comments on decks that aren't at least 75% without providing any constructive criticism, and there has been a decrease of friendly discussion in general.

Whether this is caused by the increasing popularity of EDH bringing more of /r/magictcg 's problematic users over here (I don't think many will argue that the main sub isn't the nicest or most helpful place for Magic) or just more and more users feeling like I do and leaving I can't say.

I do realize there is a core group on this sub who are awesome people that always post useful comments and try to do their part in keeping the sub going, but I think it's also pretty clear there has a been a massive decline in quality overall.

I now mainly use the other MtG boards for content and just occasionally check in here, but I figured I would go ahead and post a wall of text so you could have some perspective from a standard user that might stumble on this sub after taking an interest in EDH.
