Well yeah he passed like €25 there, I'd be angry as well (if I didnt know the 'you keep what you draft' rule).
That's what price-support is for, so people draft good decks instead of mising :)
Hello friend.
He was pretty dumb too.

Seconded. If I went to a place that had "keep what you draft", I'd be rare drafting all the time.Originally Posted by Ectoplasm
I always draft under those rules. The secret is having decent price-support.Seconded. If I went to a place that had "keep what you draft", I'd be rare drafting all the time.
Hello friend.
I thought this thread was for recounting bad behavior, not for demonstrating it in the thread. "buttbuddy"?
If "everyone else" is a "fucking prick", chances are pretty good you're the one with a problem :P
It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.

Meh. I draft under "winner picks first, then second, etc" rules, WITH good price support. I mean, you need really good price support to not just have someone take whichever rare they see.
It's not like every rare in a set is actually worth something. I mean, I pass 2 rares all the time because they are shit, if someone wants to pick up the occasional birds of paradise I see no problem in letting them since they're passing bombs like sleep, safe passage etc for something that does nothing if they dont get it in their opening hand :)
Hello friend.
This thread is getting WAYYY off topic.
Last weekend I was at a store I've been going to for years, and a new kid showed up who said he wanted to play some games of Legacy. He had a decent build of enchantress, with a few proxies, but had no idea how to play it. After comboing him off turn 4, 5 games in a row with elf survival I tried to give him a few friendly pointers. He proceeded tocall me a stupid netdecker, and that I could cram my advice up my ass. I asked him why he was so hostile and he just had a little hissyfit and stormed out.
Team Unicorn: We're horny...get it?
Wait, you got called a netdecker in real life?
That's just... Words cannot describe this so I'll just stick to emoticons
Hello friend.
Ok i'm going to rag on myself for bad behavior:
A couple of years ago i'm playing at my old local store in a small legacy event. It's usually monthly you get the drift.
So the first round gets over and dude #1 beats dude #2, but after the round dude #1 has to leave.
Now to fully understand dude number 1 never does well at any of these events. Dude number 2 happens to be a skilled magic player. Dude number 1 says hey can you just play my deck in the next round and play "as me" and give me the prize support when I come back later. Dude 2 agrees and addres's the TO.
I happen to be playing the winner of that match and i'm pissed that the TO was actually willing to accept that offer. So I mention to the TO that not only is that b.s. because player 1 has to leave. Just because he sucks doesn't give him the ability to put his deck in the hands of a better pilot and say good luck and walk off. If this were true then I'm going to have Kai, Chapin, or Nassif on hand when I need them. I also mention to the TO that the way it should be handled is this:
1. player 1 conceits, I play player 2.
2. player 1 drops after round 1, I get a bye? Or reparing or something.
Needless to say I apologized after wards, but I still felt like a dick.

Are you kidding me. Its like a right of passage for casual players to use that term I.R.L around here. If you go to a store where casual shitty magic happens, then you pretty much are guaranteed a "How much of that deck did you actually build yourself." For which I reply, Don't point your dick-finger at me. Just because you don't have enough common sense to take a look at an entire card pool and look at threads and make play assessment doesn't make me any less of a player.Wait, you got called a net-decker in real life?

If the remarks keep coming I'll challenge them to play 2 formats of their choice and 2 of my choice and 1 random to see who is truly more knowledgeable of the game
Way offtopic, nevermind

Hello friend.
Sorry i just get riled up too easily, ask my friends haha. I mean not half of what i say
I especially get riled up getting screwed out of a PTQ Qualifier...
Dead or Alive, you're coming with me.

I'm like zero for five in getting people to moneydraft me after they tell me I am garbage at Magic ;[If the remarks keep coming I'll challenge them to play 2 formats of their choice and 2 of my choice and 1 random to see who is truly more knowledgeable of the game
When in doubt, mumble.
When in trouble, delegate.
I've had someone threaten that he would try and kick my ass after a tournament and rip up my stax deck after having a chalice for 0-3 against his aggro-loam.. Also seen someone pick up another person's deck and throw it across the store.
Anger management is obviously hard.

The worst (or best?) I've seen around here is this guy in Chattanooga who used to choke back tears when he lost and tell the other player that it was just luck, as he obviously had way more playskill, and then he would scoop up all of his cards, dramatically throw them into his bag, and leave the store. Every week.
What's moneydraft?
Hello friend.
Betting money on the outcome of a draft. For team drafting, the winning team usually gets all the cards and the money the losers put up. For individual drafting, I've played winner gets all the cards and all the cash and I've played various splits of the cash total and cards to 1st/2nd.
For what it's worth, this is probably illegal gambling in your jurisdiction if you live in the U.S..

Been there, tried that, still casting Doomsday.
Drawing my deck for 0 mana since 2013.
At our local, weekly legacy event a few weeks back we had the local dick earn that nickname yet again.
He was playing game two against Landstill with Dragon Stompy (lost game one, actually). It was turn 5 or something and his magus of the moon just got Slaughter Pacted at end of turn while the landstill player was tapped out.
Landstill player untaps, leaving underground sea, wasteland, island tapped. He points to the three land and then to slaughter pact in his graveyard with his finger, then draws a card for the turn.
Dragon Stompy guy says, "That's a game loss."
Landstill, "For what? I paid for slaughter pact."
Dragon Stompy, "You didn't untap them then tap them again and you didn't say you were paying it."
Landstill, "I left the mana needed tapped and even pointed to it."
Dragon Stompy, "Doesn't matter."
Dragon Stompy guy proceeded to argue with everyone who was watching (we all agreed he was being a dick just because he was losing to a decktype he should rock). He even called up our local judge on his cellphone to tell him what happened right then and there! His response was something along the lines of "Even at a pro tour that would be, at worst, a warning. You're an idiot."
That's the guys own fault for not picking money rares. You have to be in agreement before hand to re draft rares after the tournament is finished otherwise its keep what you draft. In my experience, it has always been that way.
