Raging Magic: The Gathering Players Caught in Chat

I countered a 7 CMC Tibalt in the horrendous Cascade meta, and opponent got salty and told me I was stealing ideas from Twitter. Then I Quelled their Uro, and said “Yep, and now I’m stealing cards from you.”

For Being Muted every 2 weeks because of profanity and shenanigans last 10 years I am F*CK*NG PISSED and salty for not being featured in this video.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FreeBobby315 is one of my local Magic "kids" and I definitely did not know he was gonna be in this. Today is a great day!

If this is gonna be a series I'll be sure to keep the salt mines full!

I love when you can just stay quiet and opponents just go off in the chat and waste their time. 🤣

Things have changed a little. Back on MODO when it first started was more like: Turn One- Play Island Opponent: GG

The real reason Arena doesn't have a chat, funny part is these comments are tame compared to the astonishly crazy that goes down on MTGO.....true salt of the earth

7:06 spirit squad using the chat as intended

I love the players that play a weaker deck in the format so they can brag about how well they piloted the deck when they win and have the excuse that their deck is weaker when they lose. It's like in their mind they always win. Unfortunately the scoreboard doesn't care about their moral victories. MTGO needs a sodium concentration scoreboard so they can at least win at something.

OK the "Prime Time" comment is where you got me, enjoy your 👍

Wait until he sees what it's like on cockatrice, you don't know how a mechanic in the game works? "You fricken noob" *kicks you out of the game*

"Hah ez first game win!" "Sure man" Scoreboard: 1-999

That MTGO prime line was pretty damn good.

I love how the second guy criticized someone for home brewing and claiming net-decking was superior. I find it’s usually the inverse.

There is a lot of luck involved in the game, as well as skill. When I play on Arena, I know my mana ratio is great but always seem to have 2 lands by turn 4 (24 land in a 60 card deck). When I add more land, all I get is land. I also have 'slower' multicolored decks that get wiped by fast single color decks. That's the price you pay for trying out new combo ideas. I'll also admit, I say salty shit out loud when getting burned, removaled, or countered the whole game but have never sent anyone any msgs or anything. No one likes losing. My best decks are decks I have been destroyed by, modified with my own ideas and twists.

When I played on Arena, I couldn't decide if I wanted a better chat system. I didn't think I did ultimately, though I'd have liked some snarky options when you draw that 5th land in a row. I will personally always get salty when I draw shite and the opponent draws gas in multiple games, but I feel like if you just lose a match to someone, you should be able to get up and move on with your life. When I'm playtesting and get mana screwed ~10 games in a row (with endless mulligans to get a hand that was statistically normal) vs a deck that did not need to mulligan past 1 in all those games. It was surreal, it was just not going my way. I think I decided I am not a very lucky person, but I will admit that at another time a run of good openers I had with a deck eventually convinced me to adjust the deck to make that more statistically likely to occur. It worked, and the deck improved. As for drawing all lands, that statistically isn't that unlikely. People seem to think that if something has a 5% chance of happening that they won't see it happen a couple times in a row, or even 3 times, yet in a decent sample size, you'll always have some outliers. Be gracious with your good hands, and take your lumps when you draw bad seems the way to go. If you want more or less of something, adjust your deck accordingly, and you'll have less of these 'screw' hands. Heck, run MDFC if you hate being stuck with all lands, there *are* options if you want them.

I don't know. I kind of like the player who said "Let's keep it that way." True spike. LOL

My favourite personal one of these was vs a lantern control player when I was on UR Through the breach. They got salty at me for not conceding on the spot when they had lantern and two shredders down (I had 6 cards in hand and plenty more answers to draw/ways to draw at instant speed). Whilst they wasted their timer berating me, and throwing seriously hefty curses at me, I reminded them that time was ticking and encouraged them to play on. They then accused me of timer stalling before proceeding to timer stall me until they lost x)

My first experience with mtgo I wanted to playtest an 8 Rack deck so I spent 20 dollars on a very budget list. I recieved death threats in my first game so I went ahead and bought the fully fleshed out paper deck! Definitely the way to go for playtesting, the threats and profanity are pretty much the green light for me to go through with a paper magic purchase, so far I've used that method 3 times and now I have 3 very annoying Modern decks. Thanks guys! :D

Had a guy come to to our store’s modern tourney during summer 2019 and my buddy beat him with his budget Bogles deck round one. He kept saying “that’s not real magic” and promptly left. Mind you, he was playing Hogaak...

I think I speak for everyone when I say we need more videos like this. I am sure being a Merfolk Master you have seen enough salt for a years of these videos if you were to screenshot your chats. I know I have in my past few years on the 'folk and DnT.

For some reason this video is auto 360p, because anything above is flickering like heck. What the?

Wow! I'm suddenly glad I play Arena! I've wished for a chat function so I could help a guy out or apologize for missing that I had priority!

The best salt mine is a friend of mine I've known for almost 15 years. Often when we play he goes "You always have the perfect answer for everything, I can't believe it! You always win!" and then I "Once or twice is luck, then it becomes statistics ;)". He rages even more and I cry from laughter. Love him nonetheless lol

1:31 Homeboy raged that his opponent didn't netdeck sufficiently _enough_ lol

I wonder if Cube and fan formats are something of a salt antidote- I’ve played more than 700 matches all told and had one salty opponent among them compared to countless people who actually used the chat to make both of us have a better experience. I’ve been super happy with the chat overall, and it seems strange to me how little salt I face compared to how much of a salt mine I see people say MTGO is.

This is why I play with the chat box muted at all times during leagues or prelims or challenges

“You’re such a luck box omg “ people at the poker table when they lose lol

I remember when i played modern on modo just after uro ban and cascade rules changes and everyone i talked to in chat was just celebrating!

Excellent. I live in a perpetual salt shaker on Arena. Glad to see others in magic snapping off in rage too lol.

The worst about the guy who couldn't keep score is using the name Melkor... which is Morgorth's original name in LoTR universe.

Never watched one of these videos until tonight. Freaking hilarious!!!! Cant stop laughing!!

This is just fantastic. Can't wait for the next one!

We put wins and losses on the dry erase board and re start at the end of the month lol

My friend didn't keep questionable records, but what he did do was make decks that counteracted your deck. So every time we played, he would ask what deck we were playing before he picked his. One time he got super salty was when he swung for lethal, and his opponent flashbacked Prismatic Strands and prevented all the damage. He looked at the card, got angry and just conceded. (Then would say my friend never beat him because it was a concession, not a defeat) Early 2000's home games were cut throat!

I played my Cromat Maze's End deck earlier today and had a guy told me that my deck was going to get me blocked because my deck worked faster than their mono-red deck. The best part is that I played Tempt with Discovery in the game and they fetched a land knowing I had Maze's End ON THE FIELD!!! It was extremely satisfying popping my Maze's End to win.

One thing that I've tried to do within the last year in an effort to become a less toxic gamer is try to always acknowledge when I get lucky. I find that it makes people shut the fuck up about your good luck if you just address it first. Probably less true around people like this tbf.

Back in the day when MTGO first came out and for many years after we actually had a chat bar on the side where we could just talk to each other all day.There was MTGOMods that would watch over it and believe it or not it was really fun and cool.There was also a feature where you could just make your own chat room and invite people into it.We mostly used that to live auction off cards another really fun thing that I miss.I have been on both sides of these kinds of chats though over the many years I have played MTGO on and off.Sadly MTGO is pretty much dead now and it is hard to even find a game let alone people to argue with.

They dont print counterspell, and yet, they print at least 2 other counter spells every set...

Where is elfkid?!! Never go full elfkid

In pauper I played a turbo fog deck and my opponent wrote to me: '' It's not because it is a legal/working deck that you should play it. Fucking uninstall the game!'' ROFL

When people call me lucky... I just give a little glare and say... "Believe in the heart of the cards, my boi."

I never played on Arena, but always enjoyed playing standard at my LGS. 90% of the time people were super chill, but every once in a while someone gets super salty when losing to the ridiculous jank I'd run.

imagine playing MTGO with the chat open

i created a bolas planes walk deck. its just printed. played with just friend to try if its good. well its so op. the counter and discard really dominate the game

I love when people get overly salty about luck in a CARD GAME. Like. If you wanted to play a game where skill is the only thing that matters, play chess. But you signed up for a card game. Even the best players in the world lose something like a third of their matches, or more, over their careers. So like. If randomness/luck/bad luck tilt you that much, maybe don't play a game that has randomness as such a crucial element?

Love your videos Nikachu and your personality, I might pick up MTG again on mobile just for laughs, hell I might even end up on one of your vids lol

Searchable known entity sounds like government mumbo jumbo.

I'm a big salty boy when I play magic online but I keep it to my self and whoever might be in the same building as me.

Best part about watching this... At the end RU-vid suggest everything salt related. Saltine crackers, low sodium diet, etc. I just thought that maybe they missed the point.🤷

MANALESS DREDGE SHOUTOUT! That's what I'm talking about!

Players are even worse outside of leagues, they get mad at everyone for "net-decking" or "playing a braindead/overpowered deck". One person got angry at me for playing a zombie hunt deck with almost all basic lands.

I was just thinking I was missing my daily sodium. Thanks for looking out for us Nikachu 🙃

wow, I miss the paper tournaments so much. Back in the late 90s and first 2000s we had so many fights about rules!!all tournaments had beefs. And Cockatrice. Those were dialectic fights!!

Please continue this series!!!

At 6:04, this is probably the type of person I'd really set off. I am a huge counterspell "gamer" in MTG. "Dodge & Burn/Counterburn" is probably my favorite archetype/deck strategy in all of MTG, and I'm a Bant/Temur player, 😆. I'd feel sorry for and laugh at the person blowing up at counterspells, at least privately in my head.

SALT EVERYWHERE! Love the channel keep up the great work! First:)

We're gonna put our decks in same color boxes and spin them on a lazy Susan then pick one and see what happens should be good

I’m a cry baby for those people that manage to have like 3 bolts or 3 pushes or 3 paths in their first 10 cards of the game lol. I moved to MTGO cuz I got sick of the shuffler giving my opponent 3 bonecrusher giants in their opening hand. At least MTGO’s algorithm is fair. Screws me over just as much as the opponent. Lol

The funniest ones are the logs from xmage with DesolatorMagic...

These chat logs have all the energy of a bunch of 6-year-olds arguing in the school playground at lunchtime, but without the excuse of actually being in kindergarten or under the age of ten.... smh.

I actually never even use the chat box because I know I will run across this. Just tune it out and play some crisp magic.

Lol Pony Energy! Killing it, fish man!

Nikachu this is fun content. Hope this makes a cut at least as some filler content in the future. In the words of lord Nux “ be toxic to toxic people”

I was playing once and randomly was talking to a guy and it turned out we go to university’s that are right next to each other

These people were never taught sportsmanship when they were children

I needed this.

Sometimes i loved when your opponent say GL before is killed in turn three-two.

Joke's on you all my opponents have mtgo prime

The mtgo prime was hilarious.

this is the reason why there is no chat in arena

*wipes sweat of brow* just another day in the mines

and this is why Pokemon tcgonline doesn;t have a chat box

MTGA needs a bag of fortunes emote

if someone wants to see more funny mtgo salt i recommend searching for "ral salt storm". there is a hilarious streamclip from mtggoldfish

Is that A Hat In Time music at 2:35 Nikachu :o

why does he need to know what your deck does to move to the next game?

Nikachu, the room that you're in looks like a padded cell in a psych ward

Gawd i wish MTG arena had a chat option.

I can actually relate with those who are bored by overused combos. Luckily, I play arena and I simply quit the game as soon as I realize what deck is my opponent playing. Am I going to have fun playing mtg against that deck or not? If not, take the win and see you next time ;-)

Well, noone can contest what you said about flooding and manaless dredge

I need more of these videos in my life, please make more 😂🤣🤣

Why are people not paying the prime? I don't understand 🤔

Hey net decking is great for competitive , counters decking is great for getting urself called names

To be fair, sometimes u get super un-lucky and seemly sacked. I had a game last night i kept a 4 land hand with 1 of them creature lands. And by the time i was 14 cards into my deck i had seen 11 of my 19 lands. Was i salty? Yes, yes i was because thats like under 1% to happen, but i wasnt all up in chat.

It is prophesied that Melkor8 shall return in one final battle - Where he will lose and good will triumph!

I play One piece TCG yesterday at a local tournament I lost a game that I could have lost with 0000.11% chance when from. Her last life came out of her own our reaction and Have a good laugh and take it for what it was.

Don't draw cards and drive unless you play card games on motorcycles

Thanks for the funny content. I needed a laugh.

I'm saying they are lucky, but trying to say it without salt, and often saying about decks of my opps that their deck is sweet.

sneaky helmuth reference

ah yes MTGO chat , the reason there is no chat on Arena

Please make this a series.

Is drawing cards not a repeatable effect?

Does MTGO prime fix the thoughtseize bug too?

I used to play only prereleases with my friends since 1996 and after a friend got other friends to play modern, I was aksed to also do so and made some decks for it and eventually brewed my own decks on MTGo... 5 color wizards with Noggle and anathemancer and golgari vampires. By no means tier 1 or 2, lol... but sweet decks that can compete with all decks i have witnessed and what I was the most surprised by in MTGO... was the total morons I encountered in chat... really salty, insulting, rude and using awfull texts... even lying to get ahead... I dont consider myself a pony because I also love competitive play apart from pre release and commander... but still, respect for your opponent I feel is a must... you are playing a game to win but still... its a game... it really through me off in the beginning and answered accordingly but now, when I encounter it, I just reafirm what they say... and moreso, when I encounter a nice player, talking about decks or startegies or other... I can really appreciate that. But yeah... funny to see how some people just loose it... lol...

Good ol' times when card games were made with chat. Sadly, the words are being taken away...

Chats are literally the worst part of anything on the internet anymore. It's either simps who white-knight and gush for women content creators, or it's guys who Google everything and pass it off like they are smart. They say terrible things because there are no (real) consequences while hiding behind a computer screen.

Just assuming pp is player points, and not the player saying they have to use the potty. Bold assumption, my friend.
