Just had a pretty epic game versus Teferi

I'm playing mid range golgari (go ahead hate me lol).
He is doing control things in general. However I managed to run him out of counters more or less and have also exiled 2 of his Teferi.

We get really late in game and he has drawn his deck almost. I have like 2 cards at this point. However he basically doesn't have a win condition left except put on the emblem and then cycle his last Teferi so he doesn't fatigue.

He is good gaming me/emoting like hell wondering why I haven't concede.

I play my last few top decks into what are obviously counters and use up the last 2. Got trough 4 sabatoges, 3 syncopates and 2 of the card that counters a 4 mana spell.

So I am down to last card and he starts cycling last Teferi and emoting. I slam down the trophy I have been holding for 4 turns and fatigue him.

Pretty fun way to beat such a smug opponent.

i dont think ive ever seen an emote used

**** teferi players though

Yeah for some reason the mtg emotes aren't as obviously sarcastic and trolly as in HS. Which is weird because they're basically the same. I think it's the way they're voice acted.

People try to bait concedes all the time with GG emote. (or I misinterpret them)

Emotes is very, very bad.

Either give me chat or nothing (just my opinion obv)

I'm wondering something.

I've started muting my opponents at the start of all games.

Is that considered rude?

How would they know?

You can turn emotes off in the option altogether iirc. And I don't think it's rude. In Hearthstone where there was no option a lot of people just preemptively squelched opponents just so there was no BM.

I can’t remember if this is my first flawless, but all of it happened in less than 1 hour so I felt like bragging a bit.

I actually didn't check in this game, but in Hearthstone you know if your opponent mutes you or not.

How?

Opaque emotes

I can be wrong, they could have changed it.

surprised no one has commented on vs mode yet. they have vs mode now.

I always insta mute in any ccg

what does that mean?

up until I stopped playing there was never a way to know

mtg I dont even have to squelch because no one uses the emotes. maybe a hello at the start 10% of the time. probably because they are so boring

Your emotes went opaque when opp muted you.

That had to be in beta or something very long ago.

yeah i dont remember that at all. mine never changed

your go your go your go your go your go your go your go thinking good game

final boss in competitive draft. match 1-1 after mull to 5 game 1.

running 9 plains 8 mountains

opening hand was 3 plains, 3 cheap white cards and inescapable blaze

not even mad

All my gems are gone so back to the gold grind. Generally hate core set drafts and little experience with core'18. Any ideas what's best this 3rd pick pack 1?

The bots don't draft white so just take the Angel, which is probably the best card anyway. Neither of the removal spells are that strong

I dislike the Angel, just take 3rd Strangling, and unless there is a shake up go UB or WB

pretty janky 7 win 4-color deck featuring a pack 3 bolas and symbiont after i was pretty heavily blue/white. Symbiont was pretty garbage in retrospect and often stuck in my hand, but bolas won me a few games.

Looks fun.

I have a bigger issue with Leonin than Symbiont.

He looks out of place but surprisingly "won" me 2 games by healing me just out of lethal range against boros that had beat me down early on before i stabilized. Agreed that he would probably be the first cut though, or maybe scholar of stars.
