This hurt my soul, but once I saw him riffle shuffle like that, my whole body was dragged into hell.

'I'll set this land card face down in defence mode'

The moment he picked up his entire deck to draw one card I'm calling the judge, there's no way I'm gonna trust that.

“Is that a morphed creature?” “No silly. It’s a tapped land.”

"I've never said this before, but I don't think you can play with us anymore. Sorry."

''thats just how i play'' ''okay, well lets see what the judge thinks about that''

We were chillin' until he did the shuffle. Then he became public enemy number 1.

I took 1d4 psychic damage from this.

This is why I support regulated zones in games not this “cards go anywhere” madness

The shuffle broke my soul, the tapping broke my hope for humanity, and his graveyard broke my eyes

Picking the entire deck up to draw the card is so underrated. I think that was the funniest part 😂

If my opponent flips a card face down that is in play and is supposed to be revealed I’m calling a judge

I played against someone like this, not this bad, but he admitted to me that he did it to throw people off. That is what we in Magic call " a dick move."

In the words of Gretchen, "You can't sit with us"

You actually don't just 'have to deal with it'. I'd refuse to play with someone doing crap like that.

Watching this video, the only thing coming to mind was “have you considered gun violence against your friends?”

I specifically ordered the full text Forest because it describes Tapping as turning the card 90° because a friend that occasionally sits to my left barely taps his lands 45° and makes keeping track of open mana more difficult. He’s newer and doesn’t think it’s a huge deal, but he’s also never used a control or midrange deck lol.

I was willing to look past most of it. But when he shuffled the cards I wanted to scream in a mix of anger and fear

His smirk says he’s playing a psychological game

Literally fell to my knees at the shuffle.

idc about the riffle, they're his cards, but if you put the graveyard in the middle of the board u will be out of my house very quick

My brain is hurting and suddenly have irrational anger

Lmao that shuffle is enough to make the soul of any tcg player leave this dimension 💀

Also, that is such an efficient graveyard position.

"You put your creature in the objectively worst spot possible". Proceeds to move it to a worse spot. Silence.

This made me want to quit magic 🤣

I once tried to introduce my friend to magic. I let him play with my deck and then he proceeded to do that kind of shuffling. My heart stopped for a second but I was quick enough to stop him

I wasn't ready for that. Just bursted in laughter

He did NOT reveal Diabolic Intent on the bottom of his deck, THEN RIFFLE 💀

Mans looked over at him and thought “This is where I die I’m sitting next to a sociopath and we’re all not making it out of this edh game alive”😂

Picking up the entire deck to draw a single card is such good comedy

Its an actual rule that lands are closest to the player and non land cards are closest to your opponent. the exception to this rule is mana rocks that only tap for mana. those can be with your lands, but they cant be hidden underneath your lands.

This is the hardest I have ever laughed at an MTG video 😂

Dont make me watch him shuffle ever again

Raises hand: "JUDGE!"

I love this. Definitely gotta give this play style a test. Especially that satisfying shuffle. I have no plans to resell cards, it’s just cardboard and ink anyway.

I would never play with them again, or if it was an official match I'd call a judge

It would take me less time than the length of this video to be completely fed up with this and walk away from the table.

It's already been said but BRUH..... that f'ing shuffle made my eyes pop out my skull

That’s the kind of guy who wants to shuffle your deck instead of just a regular cut

Shoulda put the creature under the mat, and be like that's just how I play, stealthily.

That’s called big “don’t give a fuck” energy.

i have a friend exactly like this, and he often forgets to draw a card at the start of his turn, no matter how many times we remind him.

The shuffle is what got me. I shuffle my cats like that, and they're fine, but it's funny when people get scared 😆

Thats what you get when you llearned magic through a person on fiverr.

Those types of people I try to disqualify tbh.

At least he didn't play a morph or foretell after tapping his land like that lol

It's amazing how quick you can make a card game player have mental breakdown over the smallest things. Humans man.

Funniest mtg skit I've seen in a sec

Guy will pick up his entire deck three times for brainstorm, then two times to put two cards back from his hand, then again to draw for turn. Then realize they're playing clockwise.

Bro the way he draws got me hard You just gotta love how he gently pats his deck like a dog Blessing the good Lord for his draw

We all have a friend that picks up the whole deck to draw

Man's is a God at the psychological warfare

This hurts on so many levels

The “no, I guess… I guess that’s fine.” Hits home

I understand this 100% this is why mats have to have labeled zones and even then people still ignore the labels

me and my friends who learned mtg just among ourselves when we go to organized play and people stare at us. The riffle shuffle though is sacreligious.

"Thats just how I play, you're just gonna have to deal with it" except I actually don't, because thank God there are official rules preventing stuff like this.

Giving off that "You're a 3rd rate duelist, with a 4th rate deck!" Energy.

i just ate food, this video has me damn near sick lol. that ending hurt me a little haha.

for everything else it was kinda tame but for when he shuffled the cards i literally whiplashed

Some of my decks are all proxy, i should totally riffle them

I remember this scenario happening on a few occasions. Each & every casual & multiplayer group just told one guy who does the same crap seen in the video above that he couldn't play in the group anymore bc he wasn't willing to play/arrange his cards normally & he was likely doing what he was doing to confuse people deliberately. He was stubborn & unwilling to change. Casual groups who knew his unbearable track record warned other groups to never let him play bc of these factors. Bc he never learned. And that occurred with two people this year alone, & almost a dozen in the last 5 years. There were 17 total cases of this happening in tournaments for regular or EDH inclusive pre release or launch events. The was while at my local FNM 6 weeks ago that a dude picked up his whole deck to draw a card which made me call over a judge to explain what was happening while voicing my concerns. the other dude was told by a previous judge in that same FNM event that he can hold the deck down to draw but can't pick the entire deck up as it's not technically permitted in tournaments to prevent cheating by stopping players slipping cards not directly on top of their decks into their hands. Dude was like "oohhhKAYYYYY???" like he was mildly miffed. He was told if he violates rules or strictures once more that week, he'd be reported to Wizards Play Network (WPN) & could be suspended from 5 future MTG Qualifiers &/or Grand Prix events & 20 future FNM events. He then started to place his graveyard below the lands & his creatures where the graveyard normally is & it was confusing me to no end while raising everyone's hackles. His deck was above his Lands already & that alone was getting people irritated. Regardless, once again I called a judge over. Dude was told to place his cards in their appropriate places. Dude said aloud "this is how I play, so cry about it. Stop telling me how to place or interact with my cards, you're being a complete jerk." He was disqualified from the event & suspended for life.

when he said: "that's just how I play the game" I'll slap him so hard and say: "this is how I show my gratitude to playing with me".

This is too accurate. "It's just for me, it makes more sense this way" 🙄

I use to play mtg deck with sleeves and shuffle the deck bridge style in front of people. The pain they experience was worth it

When he shuffled like that, I screamed out loud in fear.

That's it. Focus this man down! He committed the sin of playing differently than us.

I once played against a guy who put decorative glass stones on his lands instead of tapping them. I think he tried to confuse his opponents, but he built such a bad deck that he was stomped in the event XD

I can forgive weird ways of tapping lands. What I can't forgive is people who say "tap mana".

That "that's just how I play the game" at the end made me even more angry then the things before

That friend you never invite to play mtg with again.

I will respectfully flip the table if my opponent(s) does any of that

This video didn't have a trigger warning because?

" i just thought you forgot your brinstorm there, that cannot be where your graveyard is" that shit had me dying, i was thinking that the whole time

I appreciate the comedy in that the" normal" guy has one land upright, one tapped and one at 45 degrees. Insane people at this table

When he said objectively worst place to put your creature and then it was moved to an even worse place 😂

That bridge shuffle heart my soul….. thousands cried out…… unanswered

They really need to release a video explaining where cards go or make an official battle playmat .

this would make me commit devious acts

I gagged at the shuffle, that's a crime😂

Him: "Bro that's just how i play..." *commits the worst shuffling sin* Me: *soul has left the chat*

I like the guy beside him just raising his eyebrow and giving confused looks not saying anything lol

NOT THE SHUFFLE I DIED OF A BROKEN HEART AFTER SEEING THAT HELLO FROM HELL

Dude, nothing hurt worse than each individual card getting creased by the poker shuffle. I almost had a heart attack hearing it 💀💀💀

We were all thinking "he forgot to put Brainstorm in his graveyard." I'm glad they addressed it. 😂

😂😂😂 I LMAO when he said "you just have to deal with it" and then proceeds to guillotine shuffle

Taps weird: Ok? Graveyard/creatures in wrong spot: Eh....? RIFFLE SHUFFLE: Please leave.

That shuffle made me yelp like I just watched someone break a leg 💀

The bridge shuffle shuffled my soul into the shadow realm into an alternate reality and obliterated it 🙃

If my group had someone tap like that or layout their board that way then we'd be having words. No one ever tapped like that but one guy did layout his board weird, library and GY in middle with permanents seemingly put at random, and we were like "no, dude you need to organize your battlefield to buy easier to read or you are out after this game".

I had such a visceral reaction to that shuffle, and the noise that came out of me was so unholy, I think Satan stopped whipping the sinners in his basement to say "what the hell was that?"

Not only does the land produce mana but it also revives a retired Magic play mechanic and turns the land into a Yu-Gi-Oh card. This is awesome. It also brings in Lorcana.

Shuffling like that should be a hate crime

"I will cast Deagle if you don't leave my house right now"

Not the pharaoh shuffleeeeeeee 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Yes! That shuffle was beautiful. I laughed so hard.

I was like "I'm going to absolutely do all this to annoy my friends" then i saw him shuffle NOPE

I love how it's so bad the other 2 completely stopped plating to watch their game lol

"That's just how I play" And then he was never seen again.
