why can control decks hold me hostage in a 40 minutes game? its super frustrating playing a 40 minute game that is only worth one win, when you lose is even more frustrating. especially because the gameplay is: make a board, get cleared, repeat for infinity. they have infinite clears !!!

they are not holding you hostage
you are doing it to yourself
they added a concede button for a reason

Kind of sad how much Hollywood has warped peoples perception, if we go by the numbers France is one of the most successful military powers in history.
And they eat Frogsā¦I have nothing but respect for a nation that puts those pests where they belong.

Real control players donāt ever want the opponent to give up. They derive pleasure from grinding their opponents into the dirt over a longer period of time. Itās why old MTG control deck were referred to as āPermission Decksā. You need to ask us to have fun playing the game.

You still get a lot of experience points for longer games (the longer the game the more XP) - win or lose. Before you only got gold if you won so that was bad in longer games and absolutely awful if you lost a longer game. Now it doesnāt matter that much really and longer games are fine.

Plus they play slow almost always. One of my rules for conceding is someone wasting the time playing slow. It is Super annoying. There is no reason to play this game slow.
Because you let them.
The concede button is there from the mulligan.
Thereās nothign wrong with that. I have times of the month where I do the same. I only play the games that interest me and if I get too much trash in a row I donāt play anymore.
The key to that sentence is HISTORY. And itās not remotely recent history.
Pissing you off and wasting your life is why people play control decks, and people who like them are (ā¦redacted to avoid a ban).

Yeah, that Napoleon and especially Marshal PĆ©tainā¦ Oh, wait.
And bathe in sewer waters, a.k.a. the Seine, which is apparently considered an Olympic sport nowadays. 
Or perhaps they think that aggro players canāt last longer than 30 seconds in bed, and so they prefer āquicker gamesā in HS as well. Maybe they also despise the infamous āturn 7 lethalāā¦ which is generally āway too slowā for modern āaggressiveā HS ā has been for some time.

Have you guys ever considered the possibility that different players might have different preferences when it comes to game duration and enjoy different aspects than you? No? Oh lĆ lĆ .

Okay take a step back guys. I assumed most understood i was making a joke when i made that post. It was not meant to be taken seriously at all. Different players enjoy different styles of decks and thereās nothing wrong with that. Play what you enjoy and donāt worry about anyone else.

When a person intentionally goes slow on me, then I go do laundry, wash dishes ectā¦ Usually, after just a couple rounds of eff-eff (you know what I mean) they get back on track.
