The judging team will look at your card collection and judge your most recently created cards in comparison to your opponent's most recently created cards in a best of 7 matchup (first to 4 wins.)įor example: Card A1 (Your most recent card) vs card A2 (Opponent's most recent card) -> Your card is better than their card results in +1 score. A match = you versus another cardsmith 1-vs-1. You'll receive a schedule at the beginning of the season with one-two matches each week. Request what division you'd like to start in when you opt in. Once you're IN, you're in for all seasons, indefinitely, until you opt out.įour seasons a year with prizes each season. That's not a fun thing to acknowledge but people on the internet are often toxic and have a tolerance for toxicity and other harmful behaviors that's probably much too high.The official replacement of Circuit Challenges! That also can make conversations less accessible for newer players.įinally, a lot of the toxicity also comes from just general internet toxicity. Even if you're extremely charitable, that can be a hard call to make.Ī lot of the online community is probably also still in a mindset were in-depth discussions on "nerdy" topics are held between people with roughly equal experience and knowledge. If I were to make a thread about that, people would be right to downvote me.Īnd we're on the internet, so it's hard to judge between a new player who's trying to wrap their head around why Blue is allowed to answer anything with counterspells, and someone who's just trying to get people riled up by hating on Blue. I mean, I don't like Hexproof and ] was clearly a mistake and Carnage Tyrant is super-annoying, but that doesn't mean Hexproof is a bad mechanic or Carnage Tyrant poorly balanced. That happens, but it doesn't happen as often as people making threads about cards or mechanics that are slightly flawed or perfectly okay. Sometimes a card is too powerful or a mechanic is just straight bad at what it's trying to do. Same with saying you don't like a certain mechanic. Saying a card is overpowered has, historically, not been very conductive to a conversation.
The more enfranchised players generally have seen all those complaints and think the questions are too basic and pattern-match accordingly. Another sizable part isn't.Īpart from that, the large size also means that people react more poorly to certain complaints or questions when those are made in a general area.
The Magic community is just too large to make definitive statements about it.Ī sizable part of the community is toxic. I half expect this post to be, except that it might trip the obligatory "take the posts about the community's toxicity seriously" alarms.ĭunno if this makes any sense, thanks for reading either way.
Pretty much anything that isn't an echo of existing, established arguments is met with ridicule. If you don't like new mechanics or think a card is OP, you're just whining and are obviously a garbage player. If you have complaints, it's not worth discussing, you just need to gitgud scrub. I dunno, it just feels like this is the only community where I would feel the need to self-censor, and it has nothing to do with philosophy or politics, just that people in the MtG community seem to really attack each other for saying the "wrong" thing. Just seems like the entire community has these feel-good threads where we all get together and make a big deal about how we should be more accepting and less antagonistic, but then outside of that the sentiment just vanishes entirely.
I was thinking of posting a different thread, and I realized that I can't even do that, because if I did I'd get a hundred people dumping on me for having any complaint about MtG.
