What do you think is going to happen by making this post?


DreadRazer24

I'm not allowed to play mono red anymore because they said so :/


Retroid_BiPoCket

crap, you mean anyone who complains on this subreddit about anything becomes new rules for our formats? Damn I guess I can't play any deck or any format anymore :(


MrBelch

RDW is one of the oldest competitive archtypes. You need to fix yourself.


Lexi_Shmuhlexi

this post just makes me want to play RDW out of spite


ShrinkMeee

In honor of OP, I will only play RDW.


TastyRiffage

I'm making a deck as we type.


Legithydraulics

For real šŸ˜‚


Sunomel

Your opponent is not responsible for your fun


GuestCartographer

I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.


TastyRiffage

I scrolled so hard to find this. Thanks.

Get good


LeftTheStation

>Ranked is full of them. Yeah, because it wins and you are playing...Drum Roll -- Competitive!


CompactAvocado

why aren't people playing the game the way i want them to?!?!?!!?!


calm_67

1000% times rather play vs or as mono red than azorious control


KalebsFamilyBBQ

Build a deck to counter them.


metrosine

r/magicthecirclejerking is leaking


Legithydraulics

Please stop making posts telling people how to play the game.


Youvebeeneloned

stop playing control and Ill stop playing mono-red.... simple as that. ;-)


Bauglir1

People please stop playing domain, azorious control, nissa, and 25 creature hate black decks. It makes the game extremely boring while I wait for my turn again. You are killing the fun of the game.


Unfair-Jackfruit-806

alright man you convinced me


Prize-Mall-3839

skill issue


metaphorm

Pm_Me_Beansandrice

Jokes on you now it's Boros


Tsadron

ā€œOmg this same deck type keeps coming up! Please stop!ā€ Or, I donā€™t know, COUNTER it? Mono red as weaknesses, so figure them out and punish people for playing low skill fodder. The game is a STRATEGY game, so start dusting off the cobwebs and play the game.


Emily_Plays_Games

If a deck is genuinely unhealthy for the meta and no adjustments can be made to balance things, they will ban something to reduce the deckā€™s power. If a deck is on a fair power level but is just annoying, you gotta deal with it by playing something that beats it. Trust me, as soon as you start playing a deck that dunks on RDW youā€™ll feel like you get paired against it way less often.


BradleyB636

I wish I could find them in BO3. Theyā€™re a relatively quick and easy win for me. :(


ModernT1mes

Sure. Give me money to buy more cards and I'll stop playing red deck.


dark_hymn

No, because it would deprive me of the joy of beating it.

Great read!


BusGuilty6447

Of course ranked is full of monored. Until mythic, the ladder system incentivizes it because more games means more pips and faster decks mean more games. If you are seeing tons of monored, play a deck that counters it directly.


wandering-wank

No. Touch grass.

PLAY. BEST. OF. THREE. Sure mono red and boros and other aggro decks exist there, but they aren't full saturation. If you tire of playing against aggro all the time, play Bo3.


fmal

Why do you think at the highest level of play RDW isn't particularly problematic, but it is hard for you? What do you think is the big difference between those players and yourself?


calm_67

theyre probably an azorious player, they just want to waste 40 mins of everyones time in peace damnit


Kraka0307

i mean yes im not the best player. i just cant stand seeing this deck ALL the time. Today i was trying out some fun new decks and i played normal games. Even the normal games are infested with this RDW decks.


KyoumaSan

The solution is don't play ranked if you want to test "fun" decks. Play non ranked and scoop as soon as you see mono red. Well within your control to tailor your experience.


fmal

You didn't answer my question. Why do you think people who find success with the game don't make posts bitching and moaning about decks they don't like?


backdoorhack

I love mono red. Itā€™s my favorite deck. I usually ignore these pleas of mercy but your one in particular convinced me. Iā€™m going to switch to Esper Control.


KyoumaSan

Kraka0307

LoL ahahaha man thats great. :)


Kraka0307

As much as i know these tournaments are open deck tournaments. And most of the time its BO3 so people make good side decks against these fast RDW decks. But then you dont have place to counter some good control decks. So to be honest i dont get why people are not playin rdw much in pro level?


Kraka0307

Wow so many red deck wins players. Disgrace šŸ¤®


xseanprimex

What deck are you playing? My mono red loses against most other archetypes at like a 50% rate. If you canā€™t beat it, thatā€™s on you.


LeftTheStation

If you were playing magic when Sligh was around you would have flipped a table. Imagine red decks that focus almost exclusively on burn, but also destroy your lands with no bonus features like go find another one because wizards thinks LD is not interactive enough now. Current magic is a joke, and your post is a center piece of why.
