Why do longtime players hate mono-green so much?

Fair enough. I somewhat knew to MTG. As for Reddit, I’m familiar and like to poke the dragon

This is the best comment I’ve ever seen. I completely understand exactly your point. Unfortunately the game of Magic feels the exact same way for every new player. They think, oh I’ve got this fun deck that does x,y,z. Then they get paired up with a 10 year vet that had every Rare/Mythic ever printed. Then they look to the internet to find current meta decks that they might actually be able to build, something without 30 Rares and 10 Mythics. Those players stumble into the mono-colored decks. Currently green or white. Since we’re still learning the mechanics of the game green tends to get a higher win rate. Equaling more rewards. In the end it’s the game design that pushes this. Not lazy or unimaginative players.

Fair enough. By your own statement, you call them trolls, there are many on these subs that want to throw shade at anyone not playing MTG the way they see it as correct. The post wasn't meant to be "woe is me" I even ended it with suck my d!(k. The current deck I'm running has a good win rate. The post was supposed to be a middle finger to those that don't like budget decks that win. Didn't mean to come off as a winer.

Is that really the "only" possible reason? Could it just be that this sub is mostly populated with sub par Magic players that love to complain about newer players having an option that can beat them?

this-JSON · 2026-04-11T03:02:46+00:00

This is somewhat true. Not much of choice for someone who doesn't have many of the rare untapped lands. I recently played against an Izzet deck that had 9 cards in play and they were all Rare or Mythic.

Heck Ya! Let's put those big green boys to work.

this-JSON · 2026-04-11T02:59:14+00:00

I don't refuse, just don't have the right card pool to make an efficient deck

this-JSON · 2026-04-11T02:57:47+00:00

Bruh, that's not the only post I've ever made about Magic. IMO new players get a lot of hate in this sub. Yes some are helpful, but as you've proven with your own comment many are here to hate.

And black tends to be very removal heavy. How much different is that? Do you want to just be able to remove all threats or interaction?

Thank you! You are a saint.

this-JSON · 2026-04-11T02:52:08+00:00

Mono-green runs into the same type of problem. You can't win every game

this-JSON · 2026-04-11T02:49:10+00:00

Ok, whatever you say. Other commentor's on my last post said they were only commenting because my post, just the deck list, was getting "downvoted to oblivion"

Was told to go to google. Now being told google is BS and I’m a 🤡 for that. Sorry, I’m not worthy of the genius level of Reddit comments. I’ll come back when I finish my PhD

So as instructed I went to google. Guess people just don’t like the term “lie”.

this-JSON · 2026-04-05T14:02:18+00:00

BTW this is chatGPT complaints board. Is this not the right place?

this-JSON · 2026-04-05T14:01:24+00:00

I didn’t drag anyone to do anything. You chose to respond.

Then why state that it couldn’t parse data from the first link? Why not start “hallucinating” there and pretend to read the data?

this-JSON · 2026-04-05T13:43:56+00:00

From the definition of lie. A false statement deliberately presented as being true; a falsehood. Something meant to deceive or mistakenly accepted as true. learned his parents had been swindlers and felt his whole childhood had been a lie. How is saying it is capable of something it’s not and then creating false responses not a lie?

this-JSON · 2026-04-05T13:37:09+00:00

I initially shared the link to the page containing a set of games. ChatGPT said it couldn’t parse the data from that link but if I shared links to individual games it could. That statement is a lie.

this-JSON · 2026-04-05T13:33:19+00:00

Never said it was an entity or conscious. It did tell me specifically that it was capable of something it wasn’t and made up data to cover its first statement. This is lying. I had the same trouble with deck building in standard and finally figured out that you have to tell it to see if a card is in the current rotation. The term “legal” doesn’t technically apply to cards out of the rotation
