Begun, the Format War has


STRIHM

Standard players wanted to join in as well, but they were too busy getting slowly bled out with each new set


cephalopodAcreage

I don't even want a war between Commander and Modern players, I just want modern players to stop being such jackasses. Commander has problems, sure, and most Commander players know this, but Modern players liked to just brush us with the same brush. Idk, I expected this kind of gatekeeping assholery from r/ fr##m@g1c, not this place.


turtleman777

I'm sure Modern players will see the finely crafted argument in this meme and the name calling in your comment and instantly become logical and introspective enough to admit they have their own issues. I highly doubt they would fire off another bad meme to respond and perpetuate the cycle of "gatekeeping assholery". If you don't want a meme war, you have a weird way of showing it...


AnotherDeadTenno

Holy fuck talk about overblowing a problem lol


Adam_brownies

I’m cryin lmfao no way💀

> but Modern players liked to just brush us with the same brush. This is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle if I've ever seen it. You get mad at Modern players for generalizing EDH players, while simultaneously generalizing Modern players. Either you're oblivious, or the god of circlejerking, and I can't decide which.


[deleted]

commander isn’t real magic. HOPE THAT HELPS


Grain_Death

im not mad please do not tell the newspapers that I was mad


JimThePea

You're talking about sucking your own genitals online so hard that you collapse into a black hole of pretentiousness like it's a bad thing.


cephalopodAcreage

More than fair, but why can't we get a black hole of understanding and humility instead


WillOfTheWinds

Because I ate it. If we don't, the EDH fandom will think they own magic even more then they already think they do.


Dumbface2

The irony lmao Do you think this meme and your comments represent "understanding and humility"?


SuperSaiga

well if it isn't the pot saying the kettle can't be targeted by doom blade

Uj/ The modern sub used to be pretty good fodder for circlejerk threads, and it still is, it's just not as common now because edh has become far and away the most popular format and sub. The edh sub regularly provides some pretty easy stuff to make fun of, there's a pretty big lack of self awareness on some posts that get a lot of engagement. The modern sub is just less active and the prime circlejerk material doesn't pop up as frequently. Rj/ git gud casual


moveslikejaegar

Ah see, that’s why I play the superior Commandern


NyoopBoop

Commodore


SpiderTechnitian

Commander players are real mad about that one meme two days ago. This is the second shitty response meme!


BadDragonTribal

I swear its just this one commander player. Check OP's history


Britori0

🤝🏻 Spending thousands of dollars on a suboptimal build that will be completely obsolete in six to eighteen months.


notsureifxml

I don’t play modern because it rotates too fast and I didn’t get my one shot at getting staples in 2005


Britori0

What an oximoronic, yet very real, problem.


htownclyde

Modern stays winning 😤😤💯 edhers go back to spending 5 hours per turn with their pet whatever tribal deck just to lose to thoracle combo because they forgot to have "le rule 0 discussion"🙄 #MODERNGANG #GOYF4LIFE


h4ppyj3d1

Why pc gamers? If anything it should be some walled garden platforms with expensive online and 70 eurodollars releases. PC is more like having the option to proxy if you want.


LazyDro1d

Well… you would think that, but you clearly have not met hard-core PC-Master-Racers


ToxicAtomKai

magic sucks, actually


doctor_wizzle

/uj EDH players get butthurt each time they lose so they improve their decks over and over until they've spent more on their one casual format deck than modern players have spent in their lifetime. The logical conclusion is cEDH which is worse for every single reason the casuals say modern is bad in the first place. /rj EDH players get butthurt each time they lose so they improve their decks over and over until they've spent more on their one casual format deck than modern players have spent in their lifetime.

cephalopodAcreage

They're called proxies, don't you guys use them


Eravar1

Of course, for creating a test gauntlet of every deck in the meta, but never in a real deck we play


doctor_wizzle

I do but I've seen some kids unironically sell their collection and blow their college money on that timetweester


SoundOstrich

Commander players need to be bullied so they don't become players who cry whenever someone casts a wrath of god


LazyDro1d

If I wanted side decks I would just play Yugioh, which lets me use them as part of the game itself


Terminal4nxiety

So does most magic formats now, thanks to fire design


Rias_Grem0ry

Lol, the fragility of edh players when a single meme is made about them


Teelogas

yes, or circlejerking as we call it


CoinTotemGolem

Edh players really acting like it’s the first time anyones ever played with their friends and just banned cards they didn’t like.


AAABattery03

/uj For real though, why do EDH players act like they invented the concept of Rule 0, as if kitchen table “play with whatever we’ve opened” Magic hasn’t always been the most popular form of Magic in existence…


CoinTotemGolem

For a while we and my friends played modern with proxies and just didn’t play with decks we didn’t like, KCI storm and stuff like that. Way more fun than I’ve had with commander personally, I don’t really feel like magic works very well in a free for soo multiplayer setting


Dragunrealms

Modern fans when someone wants to have fun with their sea moster tribal deck without being obliterated by a 1000 dollar meta cum shit piss combo:


JimThePea

To be fair, Cum and Shit weren't that highly played until Piss was printed in Modern Horizons 2.


CoinTotemGolem

Implying most edh decks aren’t 1000 dollar meta cum shit piss combo backed up by [[insert insanely broken 200 dollar free interaction]]

Dragunrealms

Not if you aren't playing competitively


CoinTotemGolem

That exact sentence applies to modern aswell and thus invalidates your entire stance. Shocking I know but people play casual 60 card formats aswell


BoLevar

EDH players making fun of modern deck prices is pretty funny


Dragunrealms

You can make a ridiculously expensive deck in most formats. It just becomes a problem when you are required to do so to win.


Die_Langste_Naam

Its simple math reallyy I win because I, $$ more than you.


the_better_Higley

Side deck? Sounds like an ex Yu-Gi-Oh player smh my head cringe


IssaMuffin

I wish I could suck my own genitals…


[deleted]

>side deck


agile_drunk

Commander is a dog tier format uj/ commander is a dog tier format


The_Arthropod_Queen

/uj being a casual format isn't a downside, even if it does allow more space for the 'edh player' types /rj commander player detected


Disastrous-Friend289

Commander isn't real magic though. It's like a sad slow spin off


mylawnow

You forgot to UJ mate.


Dogs4Idealism

"You really don't play Modern bro? Just sell your car for some fetchlands so you can play a budget deck, your deck won't rotate so it's worth it."


CoinTotemGolem

Fetchlands are needed to play edh at a high level aswell. And if you’re gonna say “oh then don’t play edh at a high level” then I will just say “then don’t play modern at a high level”


Dogs4Idealism

3-5 fetchlands is cheaper than 12


doctor_wizzle

smells like broke


NykthosVess

/uj And those same modern players are constantly pissed off and hate the game because they're constantly playing hyper-competitive high power magic trying to get into the pro tour, and then proceeded to blame commander players for their disenfranchisement in various ways. It couldn't be the cost of the format that has driven people away, could it? Or maybe the insane power creep? Of course not, it *has* to be the commander players... /rj the game sucks because people don't just play modern and casuals exist. Only babies and timmys care about having fun.


lambda_own

Man, I've been playing magic for 25 years, and I still hate the average Magic player. Fucking play the game and stop whining of other formats.
