My final question...

How do people get so far in life, and still be so clueless?

---

As a bar manager in Vegas, I can say with some confidence that it's not being "clueless" - it's much more about the unwillingness to be wrong, and the assumption that suffering any amount of embarassment requires compensation of some form. Unfortunately, some people decide to take compensation in the form of lashing out. It's sad, and more importantly it's incorrect. There ARE times in every person's life where they are simply at fault, or in the wrong. Being unable to accept the situation often leads to even worse consequences.

If that's the case, I'd let it slide. Mistakes happen to everyone and you would probably appreciate someone letting something like that slide if you ever made such a mistake. I'd leave neg if it was something that went up in price and the seller just decided not to honor the sale.

-Again, no card you can have in your deck beats having a Planeswalker.

I have made similar observations at a local store where a bunch of parents come play and bring their kids.

When one of the kids cracks a pack and gets a mythic, they all oo and ah over it, even if its pretty worthless (Enter the Infinite was last example that came to mind). And they all want to trade for your Planeswalkers and nothing else.

I always assumed that it was because most good players have 3-round byes.

Yes but we could have had 3 rounds of watching the Meddling Mage play in a legacy tourney.

I think it would be better to give newer players a chance to be on Camera and not just the same pros.

Hate people like that in draft...

Had one draft pack 2 two guys open a PW, and switch not one but two colors in order to force draft a deck to play it, ruins the whole draft when this happens, as everyone else is forced to change or draft medicore decks...

In that draft 7/8 players basically lost round one for all intents and purposes as only one player had anything even remotely playable...and said player ended up 100% undefeated.

He got lucky and was between the two who switched, and ended up in the colors they left.

Draft ended up with like 6 people forcing green, 7 forcing red, 7 forcing black, and 5 forcing white, and the one guy drafting blue :P

Was able to go undefeated with mono green Friday night due to the exact same situation. Five of eight players draft red while I'm inexplicably having Nessian Asp table.

I drafted last night and also opened an Ashiok in pack 1. I also nearly collapsed in pure ecstacy because I actually got to play it because EVERYONE at a 10-man table passed me all sorts of UBW goodness. I didn't lose a game. It was glorious. I love you peoples and thank you for all the packs!
