      Making misplays is typical, even illegal plays. And they did a good job on correcting them thanks to E's great game knowledge.
      He just lost a match fairly (neither person bricked, he even lost post-side 2-0) and that's it. Trying to shift the blame to "luck" or "bad list" is just cope.

    Guys, DBGrinder isn't white knighting Elijah because they're friends. He's white knighting him because Kasthira players, being that they were Mystic Mine and Runick users in the past, are the most hostile and toxic players in the current format. You don't be shocked and horrified when your crackhead uncle steals all the fine china and leaves an upper decker in the toilet, do you?

    I played against him in the past as well.
    Usually Is "only" toxic against who's bad, but most of the times he makes people fall into missplays by pressing them for playing faster (for no reason) or trashtalking them on their list. Being able to play under pression should be a skill as well. But...tell me...why? This shouldn't be a requirement for a card game, should It?
    The missplay of the prosperity add + the ash summon was a clear pressure mistake due to him continuously shuffling and pressing

      @bing chilling when ur high ranked, talking about bad is not a subjective discussion where you're worried about feelings, it means more that the person misplays, is playing cards that bricks, does bad lines, etc. If you feel bad for the other person that they aren't as good, that's on them and you to improve and get better, not the opponents.

If in your testing you decided you needed three drivers, no one cares how valid you feel you are, that's not a good play, and I can pull up a probability calculator to help explain why you're ratios are shit
