I actually like the games where "I would have won next turn." My friend and I tend to have quite a few of those. I don't even mind being on the losing side because that just means it was a close, competitive game.

[@stubby_gnome7106]

I agree I taught a homie how to play magic (I play table top) and he's been playing for 3 months now and he gets close to beating me alot I still win usually but he picked up the game quick and he thinks like a player who's been playing for years, I'm proud he got it so fast and I'm waiting to lose

normally true... but not in this situation. he didn't know his opponent was unblockable. which is why he's unhappy with the outcome because it is an unfair outcome if the game system cheated him. but the reality is that it was a fair game. but the winner didn't point it out, and instead trolled the guy to get these responses. so let's look down on the sore winner for trolling this guy. let's not act like he's a sore loser for not liking losing to a game error. which turns out to not be a game error but a player error. by not knowing about the forest walk.

To be fair I had an exceedingly salty, would have won the next turn, rant in my day. Was playing a sanctioned draft and matched with this local guy, clearly a friend of the judges running event. He won first game then drastically slowed down his play. Judge calls time on the round late in our game 2 and says we have 5 extra turns to finish the current game, as was the rule then. I take the first extra turn, get him to low life and with flyers on the board he has no obvious way of preventing me killing him my next turn. Except, he draws a card and tanks for the next 5 minutes deciding which of his 3 cards in hand to play. I complain to the judge he is taking too long, judge comes over and looks at his hand and says it is a 'tricky decision' so fine for him to be taking a long time. Then shortly after announces the round is over and we will finish after the current turn (still turn 2 of the 5 extra turns!) So yeah, I was pretty salty about losing ranking points and ultimately the draft prize pool on that one.

[@roblosh8417]

That actually is an unfair game, because the result had less to with Magic: the Gathering and more to do with the bias and inconsistency of some guy who works at the LGS haha.

[@dudeofvalor9294]

The guy was probably friends with the judge. No matter how tricky the decision, you need to make it in a reasonable amount of time. In card games, literally any decision can be interpreted as tricky. Even little tiny things you do at the beginning of games can have an effect later.

[@hitthegoat]

"You were dead the next turn" Cool, you died this turn tho

[@SchwettyBawls]

I have a super salt story. Right after Mirrordin came out, I was playing in an extended type 1.5 tournament. I was basically playing an Affinty deck that was almost the same as the Type 2 version but with Engineered Plague in the side since Goblins was the deck to beat at the time. My opponent was pretty well known and was actually a guest host on the SCG event streams pre-Covid (no I won't say his name). He won game 1 handily. Game 2 I kept a sub-par hand but it had E.Plague in it and I played it on my T3 his T2. Opponent immediately scooped. Game 3 he's on the play, I keep a hand with E.Plague. I play it on T3 again. Op sits there steaming for several seconds. Then in one swift motion he scoops up his deck, YEETS it across the table at me, and storms off leaving his cards behind. Once I regain composure and realize I had just literally been attacked by Goblins, I fill out the match slip and take it up to the head judge area. I explain what happened to the judge and we both turn to look as we see my Op picking up all of his cards and then power walking out of the arena never to return.

[@guitarandgames1386]

I got a story like that. Was playing around the time of Shadows over Innistrad before I took a hiatus. I used a Zada Hedron Grinder deck and a ton of life link and +x+x counters. Still use this deck in legacy and it's insane. If it lives past turn 5 it's an almost immediate win. Had this dude who was playing eldrazi tribal at the time. Had Kozilek Butcher and some other expensive ass cards. Turn 4 I lay down my Zada. Turn 5 he attacks with some low tier eldrazi. Turn 6 he's fuckin dead because I had 3 Butchers glee in my hand and some Mage ring bully's out on the field. God it's a fun deck

Thats become something I've tried to keep in mind for life. you set up your deck in life. if your not playing enough copies of something (experience, humility, education) thats because you didn't build it to give you that advantage. so change it, if you feel your lacking in a life skill "add a copy" to your deck of life and stop making up excuses.

So my favorite sore loser story comes from a game of commander, I was playing elves, one guy in the pod was playing a commander that forced us to attack each turn if able. Another at the table was getting mana screwed, and had no creatures so I attacked him with my 0/2 elf, and attacked on of the other guys with my stronger creatures. Well this dude turns his land into a creature and blocks my 0/2 and kills it and just laughs, 2 turns later I got set up and triumph of the hoard and attacked him for lethal he went on a 10+ minute fit about how infect is cheap and should be taken out of the game, I ended up losing that game (triumph) is normally my game winner move, but it was worth it to take out a guy who blocked a 0 power creature just for fun, and I got to see him throw a fit!)

Reminds me of a home game I used to play. I had one friend who's decks were just responses to our decks. (So he needed to know what we were playing before he would choose his deck) He would always say how much better he was, and for the most part he was better. (I mean I was a beginner back then) One time he had another friend on the ropes. It was a classic Black deck vs white deck matchup. He swung with everything for lethal damage. My friend was thinking of a response, and he checked his graveyard. This was during the Odyssey block. Flashback was a thing, and he had Prismatic strands in his graveyard. He taps an untapped white creature, and says "black" Oh my god, Costco doesn't have as much salt as what happened here. he eventually quit the game and said said that one didn't count because he quit, he wasn't "Defeated" and he didn't concede.

When Magic Online was popular, it had a chat you couldn't turn off. I was playing a casual game with a vampire deck and the other player was constantly telling me how to play "don't cast that on that guy, target this guy" and similar comments- thinking I didn't know how to play, apparently. On what he thought would be his coup de grace, he sent his entire stable at me (I was at 4 life) and said "Not a bad deck kid... you just got outclassed." He would have killed me outright, however I was sitting on a Safe Passage and cast it in response, then assigned blockers. The beauty of Safe Passage is: you and your creatures don't take damage, but they still DEAL damage, so I was able to double team a couple of his critters and get them off the board. I also had a couple critters on the board with lifelink, so instead of killing me, he actually gave me 4 life and wiped 2 of his own critters with his attack. He was not happy. He proceeded to accuse me of cheating- using "broken" cards etc. (keep in mind, this was a casual game... no stakes, play for fun etc.) and really got pissed when I dropped a Vampire Nighthawk onto the board and he had no flyers. He continued to berate me in the chat, calling me all kinds of names etc. He had no answer for the Nighthawk and was now scared to attack because of my lifelink blockers. Had he calmed down and did the math, he would have killed my lifelink critters if I blocked with them and outpaced me with the damage from his attacks, but now he was gun shy and too angry to see he could still win. So, he just ate 2 damage every turn, while I gained 2 life. On my final turn, I sent a single chat: "Outclassed, huh?" and he rage quit.

Blaming lag in a turn based game is peak intelligence

He has the voice of a grown man that still lives with his mother. He's used to this kind of blame. "No, I didn't get the job at Walmart, mom! They hate me!"

[@Nullzeros]

I forgot about Elvish Champion with the Forest version of Urborg is a thing. Going to have to add those in.

[@WiiTara]

Im actually a bit sad that the player never sent a message like "You remember that my creatures had forestwalk and you had a forest?" just to see his reaction. He would have propably exploded xD

[@user-ep8ns6hg4q]

Better to let em lose to it again, it's not his responsibility to teach him how to play and considering the rage he has no reason to.

[@jacktupp4358]

I'm over hear dying! No, not from Forestwalk and Trample... but from Laughter.

[@stevefink2824]

He mentions having the perfect deck, but those early Xbox ports of magic had all premade decks.

[@cloud9847]

I had a real life buddy back in the day ask me to leave his apartment because he couldn't beat me in some stupid racing game I can't even remember the name of. I remember winning (again) and he looks at me and calmly says 'you need to leave' and I just started dying. Funniest shit ever. I left and my buddy called me a few minutes later apologizing and admitting how dumb it was but THAT dude was mad enough he made his best friend leave lololol. I laugh about it to this day, clearly.

[@azir64]

IDk Nikachu, I might have a more sore loser story. I will let you guys judge. Had this one player in the local scene, that would refuse to metagame. "That's not being a loser" you might say. But here is the thing. He would never , ever play blue cards, etc. Always the mavric player, always trying to find some hidden combo's or this one out of 1000 games auto t1-t2 win, etc. Until he finally turned up to a tournament, with some blue deck. He lost, and was crying int he parking lot saying "I played a blue deck, why did I not get top8?" When I told him "dude, you just googled MTG top8 filtered on highest winrate and put the deck together...? right ? You can't expect to know every interaction, every trick with a deck you just put together this morning ....." And he cried some more....

[@drew8235]

Quickest way to get a kid thats mad to act more mad is to ask them repeatedly if they're mad.

There's a part of me that hopes the unhinged guy comes upon this video and watches it.

[@albanmarku6743]

Ah xbox 360 messages. The pinnacle of salt and trash talking.

[@theonethathungers5552]

Similar stuff happens in online yugioh. For anyone who does play yugioh here, I play krawlers and their boss monster can negate cards that target it facedown and it flips itself face up to do so. After it’s flipped, it’s a skill drain with 3k Def. Nobody expects it and I’ve had some salt when people effectively lose their board to a facedown monster.

[@technole]

100% correct why no chat in Arena. Plenty of people can't read cards still to this day.

[@barricuda]

I only play meme troll decks in MTG arena that are immediately hard countered by like 30% of any standard decks within the first few turns, then win 50% of the time by either pure luck of the draw or some really assanine combos that really destroy the ego of the people I'm playing with. I really wish we had chat functions, because I'd love to see all the salt. I love mining that salt.

[@papaya3996]

That “I would have won on my next turn” is like whenerver I die in commander it’s like a joke in my group

[@jjjj8644]

Did he mentioned a lag problem? For a turn-based card game? LOL. He thought he was playing a fighting videogame

[@schrottinator]

The fact that this is XBox Live makes it even funnier.

[@robertgreen6499]

I had a moment like this in a legacy side event. i was also playing elves, it wasn't combo elves, just a ramp elf deck with lots of lords. The opponent had a Taiga and had the same WTF moment when i dropped elvish champion. Combat and attacked all out for game. but the opponent was like i block. I was like nope forestwalk my dude are unblockable. He goes and says I know what forestwalk does and I have no forests. He wasn't listening to me pointing to the Taiga that is a duel land which is a forest and also mountain. Dude calls a judge over we explain. Judge goes to tell him read his Taiga, and then once resolved the judge left we went to game two and I mop him again. Dude wasn't nearly as pissed as this guy but man it was one of those RTFC moments.

[@GeekandGlory]

You mad bro? YOU MAD BRO? and I thought that had a high sodium personality.

[@gamingxmachina6718]

"I asked the guy you mad?" gotta love the trolls in all of us. Also, Arena would be terrible with voice. It is all Net decks anyways and no one even brews anymore to have fun, it is always the same 2-3 decks everytime in ranked and even in unranked. Wish they would add a straight up commander format instead of just brawl, as Commander is much more fun then standard net decks.

[@williamkaston7568]

They plain on making commander next year some time

[@gamingxmachina6718]

@@williamkaston7568 Yeah but...next year is so far away. To be honest I would say Commander is more popular then standard is anymore, and has gotten more people into magic then probably any other format so I was surprised that they added Brawl before Commander.

[@velphidrow8317]

They'd have to add every card legal in commandard and keep adding cards. If you want that go play MTGO

[@vargsieber]

voice chat in arena would be epic, that stuff is hilarious i would have just answered "reading the card explains the card" or "cough forestwalk cough"

[@jam3sram9ag3]

"the other guy wasn't doing anything" that was hilarious

I've gotten this salty over mana screw before. But I'll never once not said "Good game". Because I'm afraid of looking like the sore loser I really am.

Alongside the "you were dead next turn" is the "look at the top 3 cards of my library and you'll see that I would have won!"

I love that one!

A lot of gold reading & hearing old salt messages on the 360.

[@rabidpickleosrs2995]

Scars of Mirrodin block, I was at my first ever ptq tournament, still a teenager and was on Azorius control featuring a Stonehorn Dignitary and Venser, the Sojourner lock out combo. Round 1 was against the most unpleasant player I had ever met. During the pregame ritual of shuffle and cut, I opted to shuffle my opponents deck, as you do, before cutting. My hands were shaky because I was nervous and the sleeves the guy was using were right out of the box new, so extremely slippery. During the shuffle, a card fell from my hand and landed face-up(it was a Steel Overseer). The guy called over a judge, which was fair as I had no idea what was going to happen. The guy told the judge I dropped the card to look at his deck and get an unfair advantage. I was a teen, I was just playing because it was fun, I had zero expectations for the tournament and I had no idea what deck he was playing as I only knew the meta Valakut deck at the time. I explained to the judge what happened, the judge gave me a warning and told me not to shuffle the deck if I was unable to do so without creating an unfair advantage, whether on accident or not. I agreed, offered his deck back to be shuffled, then I cut. We played games 1 and 2, which I won handedly as his deck relied solely on combat and he had no way to beat Venser + Stonehorn. He was very pissy with me the entire time, wouldn't respond to me when I asked him to clarify his actions, and then refused the end match handshake. As he walked away he told a buddy of his sitting two chairs down (very loudly) that I purposely looked at his deck and that he lost to a f**king cheater. I'd also like to add, I apologized to the guy about 5 times before the judge came over, I offered to tell him what I was playing to make up for it as well, he refused saying he didn't care what I was playing. I ended up telling him anyway as I was a little bit panicked at that point and was afraid I was going to be DQ'd for cheating lol. I think he was just fishing for an easy win without having to work for it. Granted I did make a mistake, but it was in no way intentional or an attempt to cheat.

[@NikachuMTG]

I’ve dropped a card from my opponent’s deck by accident myself a few times, it happens. Your opponent was way out of line.

[@rabidpickleosrs2995]

@@NikachuMTG I ended up going 8-2 and just missing the top 8 in 9th place. Both losses were to Valakut, but both matches went to 3 and were close. I even survived (and won) a game after taking a hit from Emrakul. Any how, my r1 opponent ended up losing the next 3 rounds then dropped. Even though it went well for me, the experience almost drove me from competitive magic completely, but my good friend talking me into more tournaments down the line.

[@WadeWilsonDP]

One time I had a sore loser complaining that he should have beaten me a few turn earlier, but was waiting to boost his favorite card. He was actually mad at me because he decided to get cocky and didn't expect a kill spell in an all black deck.

Jesus... I had something similar in my LGS a few years ago. The thing is: I'm notorious for my incredibly bad decks that I simply love to play because they are weird. I love cards like Biovisionary or just putting together weird decks. So when this guy (who was not a regular in our LGS), much to my own surprise, I might add, had no idea how to handle my weird home-brew Dimir-Mill he was pissed as fuck, saying Mill is a cheap mechanic and how he hates Jank-decks and people that can't be bothered to take the game seriously and build a decent deck and blablabla... Ain't my fault you can't deal with Hedron Crabs! 🤣

This is part of why i don't like doing aggro strats.... And i don't like draft or "build your deck with (specific) cards" because it always just ends up whomever pulled that one card that actually turns the tide of the game and play it at the right time. i will say that focusing one player is a valid strat, but you do end up in a situation like this.
