Planeswalker decks played by a slow player is a new tier of torture

Planswalker decks are a cool deck and fun to play against in person and in friendlies but good lord, when a slow player is also playing a planeswalker deck it can genuinely take 30 minutes to finish a best of one. Please do not play slowly if you play this deck in MTGA; the resolve times alone for multiple planeswalker abilities per turn is soul crushing.

Slow players are honestly the worst aspect of MTGA for me.

Why do fucking cat oven players take so fucking long to do the same thing? Don't you get efficient when you do the same fucking thing over and over?

I have no respect for cat oven players

Same dude, same. I could imagine it was fun for the first couple days back when Eldraine came out. But after that, it just seems so boring and repetitive for the player AND definitely for the opponent.

Not really. Having played Jund Sac for a long time now, I can confidently say that it is probably the deck in standard requiring the most number of decisions to make per turn, thereby making it arguably one of the most interesting decks to play in the meta, given that there are so many things you can do every turn. It's very difficult to find the optimal play with that deck every turn.

Fair enough, that makes sense - appreciate the insight. I do have to admit that watching the pros during Mythic Championship VII had me in awe of what an expert Jund Sacrifice player could do (as well as the quickness of the interactions). I think Brian Braun-Duin specifically had a play where he did like 18 damage in one turn in a way that seemed impossible at the start of his turn.

Hey if that helps ease your anti-social mindset to sleep at night, sure. I still despise you for wasting my time and creating an un-fun experience.

Reddit complaining about every little thing is the worst aspect.

Dude honestly, especially when they tap and untap their lands one by one, and don’t realize that their tef4ri trigger is on my turn

I've fucking had it, the game needs a "Fast Play" mode.

No timeouts, period. Max 10 seconds between actions. Sign me up.

That would be the only queue I'd join.

You think a "new player" is going to have a superfriends deck?

Isnt the point of those decks to be for beginners? Which is the group most likely to read everything and really think about their choices since they have not developed the muscle memory and knowledge to play quick?

I have two computers, one that I built back in January with a GPU and another that is 5+ years old with no GPU. The difference in play speed is huge. A lot of slow players may be on min-spec hardware.

it is just a lot of animations that cant be skipped or play in parallel with input/action
