I'm helping!
I just spent three and a half hours playing only the the Arena FNM Historic Brawl event. I got my first 2 wins in my first 2 games, then decided to help other get their wins fast and easy. So I made a few decks that seemed fun and helpful. the last 2 hours was a Samut only pump spells deck.
The clear confusion of every opponent was fun. The players that would lean into it for fun were the best, attacking with 0 power creatures and just having fun. It was nice.
Do you know who did not have fun? and would intentionally make sure I was at a minimum fun? Blue players. Countering my pump spells on their creatures, countering my commander with 0 creatures on my board(and in my deck). I had fun with 4/5 of my opponents. But those control players refuse to let anyone even people trying to help them and clearly aren't trying to win have fun.
I understand what it's like to take every game too seriously, I personally don't play the more casual formats because I am often a fun vacuum. Today wasn't like that, it was nice.
I hope all my opponents had fun and enjoyed the event.
tl;dr : Played a 0 win con pump spell deck and Blue players still found a way to take the fun away. Had fun anyways.

If your having fun then thats great. Dont let anyone stop you from doing whatever you want to do.I love the more casual side of magic because thats where I find the most fun and creative decks, so thats where i play. Also yeah blue control kinda sucks.
