Like it’s the most annoying format every where 2 year olds always complain about your deck and don’t actually want you to win but just shuffle cards around for no reason and if you ever win they all just complain that you are playing a good deck (which is the entire point of the game), because all the annoying salty people don’t let others play what they want there is no interaction and the boards just fill up with 90 creatures and stupid 5 card combos that shouldn’t be playable and it’s a huge mess where no one even understands what’s going on, like how is this the most popular mtg format
