You can report them. Go to report bugs in the menu during ur game. It takes u to a list of possible problems one of which is reporting players for stalling. Be sure to get a capture log and their username. I don’t know why wizards doesn’t make this information more available or easier to access

[@rylandmalcolm3825]

I'm glad you can take being stalled like that with a smile, I'm sitting here mad. Like what the hell is the reasoning behind it like "how dear they win!" like they never have or something??

[@UTUB2kholle]

Yeah it's such a weird mentality.

[@bigwig8657]

I mean it is a deck full of sideboard cards in bo1, ropings dumb but if you can't get the tilt you don't play magic. Then again I'm confused at how little enchant removal is in bo1 given control, auras and such.

[@Aegisworn]

I think the mentality is that the roper views your deck as "unfair" in some way, so by roping they are attempting to punish you. Real dumb if you ask me because they're often hurting themselves more than you, especially once you start bathing in their salt.

[@fossilfirebird5093]

To some degree, I think the cowards are hoping that you'll get fed up and leave, or else an internet connection issue will gift them the game.

Fossil Firebird the game is on arena tho so there are no prizes so it doesn’t matter if u win or lose anyway tho.

I hope it comes soon enough. Although I don't know how you reliably differentiate legitimate reports from illegitimates...

[@Aegisworn]

@@UTUB2kholle I'd hope they have some automated component, like if you report someone for roping it then checks the game for statistics, then if its ambiguous passes it off to a human

[@Chronowizpal]

I would prefer a reward system instead of a report system. Give 5 gold to a good player would be nice and fair.

@@Chronowizpal That sounds nice and all, but it also means it would only "cost 5 gold" to be a d*ck and stall a game ^^' I don't think it will prevent any bad behavior unfortunately.

[@shadowpsyke]

Honestly, Crim is an example for all of Magic players to follow with how he composes himself. He definitely gets tilted like anyone else, but he does his best to face it with a smile on his face and a hearty laugh. Even if he plays the most miserable decks sometimes, he does it with the giddiness of a kid on Christmas morning that you can't help but understand and give him a pass.

[@ruudvanlaarhoven5776]

Crim, making the boring decks exciting to watch!

[@masterofthepaint]

[@HokaMagic]

[@jebooiii6462]

Why would you ever spend 40 minutes salt roping? Like, isn't there always a strictly better way to spend your time?

[@JustAnotherPest]

muh wins

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

he is hoping that crim gets sick of having his time wasted and concedes. that way he will get a "win," even though he lost. people used to do this to me all the time when i played standard, though never for this long. usually they'd feel you out for like 10 minutes lol, see if you're committed to staying in. it's silly but i can't bring myself to concede to these people, i feel like doing that just encourages them to keep doing it and makes the game worse for everybody. i have ended up wasting so much time just refusing to quit out. the silly part is that i really don't care that much, not enough to stay in a normal game for 40 minutes. if it was just a slow top-deck war where we kept drawing answers and the game stalled out for 40 minutes naturally, i'd probably just concede and move on. but when the opponent is actively trying to win the game by making it so frustrating that i want to quit, it's like a compulsion, i just can't give them the satisfaction, you know what i mean? so they are aware of that, they know some people will never give them the win. so they will stall for like 5-10 minutes. by that point if you haven't conceded i guess they figure you're never going to. but i imagine that means there's a significant number of people who DO concede in those situations because their time is more valuable than a win in a video game. and what exactly is the threshold for each person? for some people they might wait 10 minutes. others maybe 20. i guess it's conceivable that this guy thought crim might stick around for 40 minutes but any longer is out of the question. i doubt it though. i feel like he intended to stall it out for 20 minutes at most, but by that point he was already so salty and butthurt, and had been engaged in this epic struggle of willpower. so at that point it became a challenge, who would give in first? crim or bayard? considering he already stalled the game out for so long trying to force crim to give in, he'd look like a little bitch if he gave in first. so as far as i can tell, it's a matter of honor. bayard couldn't look himself in the mirror knowing that he lost the battle of wills HE started. so he refused to give in. in some sense, he's... a bit of a legend.

[@wldnrkls]

Nah. You're just weak. Good thing players like you don't last. I don't like bullshit prison stuff, especially in UW, but come on. If you've lost, you've lost.

Approach is absolutely a real win condition, as are deterministic infinite tokens with Castle because Crim doesn't have to block. I hate decks like Crim is playing, but when you lose, just move on.

@@SyntheticReign Well said. And too many players in this game don't learn to recognize when a game is lost against control. To be fair, the game does a terrible job of making that clear: I have 6 cards in hand. I have 20 life. 45 cards left in the deck, including all my win conditions. Why am I losing? But so many players would do better to recognize when they're not going to get out of it, scoop, and get on to better games.
