The biggest tell this idiot is a scrub is that they wrote about how they got mana screwed both games, like they want us to know that the loss wasn't legitimate.

But also humblebragged that they've won a half dozen other game day mats just none were their favourite character Nicol Bolas.

Yeah I'd 100% keep the mat and use it.

Unless you're at the pro tour level let your ego die and don't get tilted about children's wizard trading cards. Even at that level, I suspect it helps.

I honestly want to hit up one of my starving artist friends and commission this:



Redone as a four-panel comic and print it on a playmat, only he's talking about magic and playing a green stompy deck.

it does not play Goblin Chainwhirler or Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, so I suspect it's not good

also a format where Goblin Chainwhirler is one of the format defining cards seems extremely suspect for a deck that wants to make a million 1/1s

I fear I cannot play those, I have known the touch of woman.

But my thinking was that either the 1/1s can be made bigger or I can punish Chainwhirler with Slimefoot.

And here I was wondering whether or not I'm the only person who thought that was funny. Turns out reddit is full of babies. Who'd have thought?

Bonus if you don't wanna read the thread: OP is actually trying to clean off the sharpie so he can use the mat, claims it's on its fourth wash right now. :lol:

You'll probably find in practice that they just answer the lord or the 'foot with an Abrade and then drop the 'whirler. :smith:

I mean, it is a dick move, but it's also hilarious. It also suggests that the OP was not taking the loss graciously, because I doubt the dude would have put him on blast out of the blue like that without reason.

Keep the faith alive
In a perfect world the winner’s side of the story would be how he was going to give the mat to the guy as he already won a mat but the loser was being a total rear end in a top hat during the match, lost to variance, and threw a tantrum so he decided to give him a lesson in humility or something.

Edit - have the stolen goon valor dude create a parody post of the above and put it in the same subreddit.

I mean I don't actually play Standard, this is just my intuition. I could definitely be wrong, although the fact that no one seems to be playing Saprolings at GPs/PT makes me think I'm not.

something similar happened at my store, some guy was showing off the playmat and everyone starting jokingly pointing out that he didn't actually win. then we all, including the playmat owner, had a good laugh because we're not two years old

Hot take: people IRL aren't always like people on the internet. You don't have to assume as quickly that someone is being malicious or douchey in person. (It's easier to assume that people mean well but are just really awkward.)

Same goes for the playmat giver. He probably meant well and thought it'd be a funny show of good will, acknowledging that he had a really easy win and it must have felt bad for the player who got mana-screwed. He had already won at another store, so to give his mat to the runner-up seems like a nice thing to do, even with a joke tied in.

The receiver, on the other hand, is just pathetic.

After a streak of good events (3-1 like four times in a row now), I finally had a lovely one today.
Went 0-3 with Hollow One at the LGS Modern event today, and then had a bye for the last game.
Had to happen at some point.

What did you say the strategy was?
Depends how it was delivered. If the guy was joking then yeah, take it in stride and proudly use that poo poo. If the guy rocked up to the store and said "here you go you loving loser" then call the guy a oval office. Then use that poo poo because it's hilarious.

Best playmat I've seen so far has all the spots marked for poo poo on it. As an example the discard section says "Dead Stuff" and other euphemisms.

I agree with (I think) suicidesteve who said that there should be a standard laid out in the rules. I don't even remember if I rolled left or right, but it's the kind of thing that would help cut down on cheating and make a cleaner game with little to no additional uphead
