Seeking an MTGO Playgroup for Commander
Social forum

Recently I've been finding MTGO players ever increasingly intolerant of certain styles of play. This came to a head a few nights ago while I was playing my Melek, Izzet Paragon deck. As with all my commander decks, it has the potential to explode, but it is neither consistent, nor fast. When it goes off, I typically win, but it takes time and can be disrupted. However, once I started to claim victory around turn 15 or so, I was beset by complaints from the players as being unfair, unfun and "not playing properly".
To be frank, I am tired of attempting to cater to a crowd of people who clearly lack appreciation for varied styles of play. I am currently seeking out anyone who plays Commander on MTGO and enjoys a middling level of power for their decks. Decks that can win, but aren't going to shut the game down by turn 3 or 4.
If interested, please let me know your username for MTGO. Mine is CandianSamurai (aren't typos wonderful?)
I would just like to point out there is nothing wrong with not enjoying being combo killed whether its on turn 3 or turn 13. Theres nothing wrong with you and theres nothing wrong with them you just have different play styles. There is no lack of appreciation they just appreciate their style more and they do not have to like your style. Not trying to be rude just wanted to point that out.

EmblemMan I should clarify. I don't play combos. What I did wasn't a combo, I just strung a series of spells together using Melek and two Caged Sun.

Funny, I have the exact opposite problem, of playing people with decks that go off on Turns 3-5. But I'd be down for that. My username there is the same as it is here.
