Are you telling me you don’t like my (hypothetical) Child of Alara boardwipes deck?
In actuality, I’m with you. I build my decks so that they’re fun to play, and hopefully fun to play against. A guy at my local store apparently only builds decks that are a slog to play against. Thalia and Gitrog death and taxes, with Winter Orb and fogs to show the game down so he can win with Gates. Norin thievery. Anikthea enchantment lockout, with multiple ways to populate copies of Sphere of Safety and other pillowfort enchantments. You get the idea.
I do get the idea, and I have a deck specifically made to ruin their fun as I have a friend who does the same kinds of things much too often. I built an ‘assist’ deck that’s mostly group hug but also adds in a good amount of combo pieces for everyone.
Need flash? Here’s tidal barracuda.
Need cards? Heartwood storyteller, kami of the Cresent, howling mine, and my personal favorite soldevi sentry is there for you.
Need untaps? Intruder alarm.
Need land? Here’s all the basics you could ever want with avatar of growth, new frontiers, collective voyage, and rites of flourishing.
Im not here for a long time, but it’s going to be a good time. It also heavily rewards bad mana bases with lots of basics.
Only when people are running exorbitant amounts of symmetrical boardwipes. Resetting the game tends to make them last forever.
