I'm pretty sure we all had played against toxic players before, but what are the most toxic things you personally have done as a mtg player?
For myself, I have a tendency of raging/ kicking the door on the way out during larger tournaments and occasionally FNM

I once hit a table with the fist at a draft tournament. Although it was triggered by something about an ability my opponent didn't announce, the truth was that he was roflstomping me, announcement or not, with an insane aggro opening which put me on huge tilt. Was pretty ashamed afterwards so I haven't done such displays of salt anymore.
Ive literally rage quit an entire FNM because i lost the first match to someone i felt was not a good player and i still maintain that they are not one. Never been tilted so much in my life. in 70/30 match up ya still lose 30% of the time. it is what it is.

If I was like this, I would literally quit nearly every single time I've lost Round 1. Magic has a LOT of variance and I've been humbled so much in the past 5 years.
For me, I think the worst thing I did was act pretty salty. I have a bad habit of saying, "good job" after I've been mana screwed or lose with 12 lands in play and 5 more in hand. I'm being completely facetious and I'm pretty sure the opponent realizes it.
*Once when a player kept taking too long at an FNM, I ***** talked him and nearly went outside to fight him. That was NOT my best moment to say the least. I got especially mad because I was doing super quick turns to make up for it and I made a costly punt in Game 1 after he came back with several top decks. I will say that players that take a long time, stalling intentionally or unintentionally, it really gets to me. I'm willing to get a tie if that's what the match came to, but even that gets me tilted. But when I feel that my opponent has taken a good 40 of the 50 minutes, I can be a real ********. I know this because it happened to me with a Lantern player last Monday.

weirdly, I don't have an issue with mana flood, it happens... usually I see the funny side of it and once opponent realises I've got nothing, it can become a game of "can I draw a land" if your opponent is good natured enough.
the closest I ever get to raging is either being mana screwed (22-24 lands in the deck, should NOT be sitting on turn 5 with only 2 lands) or if I am just unable to find an answer/interaction (2x terminate, 4 bolt, 3 push and dismember in the deck, and I've died to a single goyf with 6 cards in hand).
I've been mana screwed playing Titanshift with 27 lands and Amulet Titan/Amulet Bloom with 28 lands before. It doesn't happen often, but if you play as often as I do, it WILL happen.

In high school, my friends and I didn't go to FNM, draft, or even know about formats and DCI numbers until we were about 17. We got all the cards we could through buying packs, or making crazy trades for large amounts of old cards that were mostly junk. We didn't really know any better, we just wanted more cards. Anyway, when I was about fifteen years old I specifically built a deck to get my best friend upset. He was a bit of a showboater when he'd win, but he didn't really have any reason to be. We beat each other about 50/50.
I made a deck I figured (in my silly young head) none of my friends could deal with. It was mostly burn spells and counters, this was fifteen years ago but I still remember a lot of the cards. It was a zero creature U/R counter/burn.
Those and a slew of good old burns and counters. Say what you will, but this deck won a lot at the kitchen table. It was the kind of deck that nobody wants to play against and I made it specifically for that. I beat him a lot with it and gloated, thinking I was proving a point. Pretty rude thing to do. In hindsight I should have just told him he was being rude. When you secretly plot to upset someone as a petty form of revenge, a lot of the time they don't understand why. You'll just end up looking like a jerk and the issue will never get solved. I didn't understand this at 15, I wasn't a good communicator.
This turned into a long post, thanks for sticking it out!

I done that several times actually. some guy brought "standard" midrange- control deck and started to out value my modern control deck. I have never been more angry in my life. (The other side plays torrential gearhulks/ search for azcanta and has more card advantage than te modern grixis control)
There was this one time where I got paired against this new girl, after she demonstrated she clearly have a very limited understanding of the rules, I asked the judge if he could just disqualify her because she doesn't know the rules or something on the lines of that. The judge refused and said I was way to hostile towards new people and asked me to teach. I just signed the slip 2-0 for her and left and told her "I'm not going to babysit you"

Apparently I have an issue with the "still got all these" issue. Talking about how great my draws were and how lucky I am. Talking (agonising) about some minor decision I made in game when I just stomped someone. Taking forever on something relatively trivial when I am so far ahead in the game (This seems to trigger rage quits a lot).
The only time I really get mad is when I am hungry... hangry... I hate it when there are tournaments with no goddamn lunch breaks. Well typically only get petulant but not all out angry. I'll get mana screwed and I'll put aside all the cards in my hand i can't cast then I just super obviously looking at the top card for lands. Oh okay sure another scarab god after it took all my everything to get rid of the first.

What's funny is I once thought "I still got all this" was a "polite way of telling your combo opponent, you couldn't have really play around cards like surgical extraction or Countersquall either way. (You did the correct plays given the situation)

[quote from="9talete9 »" url="/forums/the-game/modern/792261-most-toxic-thing-you-done-as-a-player?comment=8"]I played a 61 stasis deck where the only win-con was the opponent milling out.
Do you mill then out because nothing happens and your deck has 1 more card or do you have like a lantern control style lock?
Nothing happens, no real win condition if not for an hard lock with Orb of dreams
So what happens if you don't mulligan and your opponent mulligans to 5? Do you end up milling yourself out instead?
Responded to good game declarations after losses by saying "not really." Even those are generally followed by apologies. My store's highly competitive though, so everyone gets it and rarely holds a grudge for salt. At the same time, far as I know it never escalates.
Now when I was a yugioh player like fifteen years ago whole other story. I once almost got into a fight with a kid (I was in high school, he may have been a year or two younger) who kept trying to cheat. Literally, he tried to rules lawyer constantly but he was using the made up rules the anime created to build drama and tension. At one point myself, the judge, and like three others players with whom I was friends were watching this kid stubbornly refuse to understand that the card text overrules a cartoon. Then I just told him to meet me outside. He ended up talking some ***** and getting DQ'ed.
It was stupid to threaten to fight, but the store owner told me afterwards he was totally fine with it. Apparently the boy had been playing in the junior tournament and was bullying kids with that same routine. So as one of the better players he intentionally forced the kid to move up due to "being so successful" to the regular event and paired him against me.
I routinely play cards like Ruination, Back to Basics, Blood Moon and Contamination in Commander. In fact, attacking the opponents' resources via mass discard and land destruction is often my go-to strategy in general. IN MY DEFENSE, I play with people who use proxied original dual lands in their Commander decks.
You know what I personally think is more toxic; the Leovold into time spiral etc nonsense that used to be legal.
I mean mass land destruction is a valid stragety as long as people don't do it for the "LOLZ" and is actually part of a stragety.

I nearly punched some dude at an FNM. He was getting on my nerves with slow rolling and the judge told me he was playing just fine [casting Gifts Ungiven and thinking 10 minutes isnt slowrolling, sure...]
Some of these stories are a bit nutty. Makes me glad I was well into my 20s before I started playing.
I think the most important thing in learning Magic is learning to lose. No one likes playing against salty messes.

Making new players at stores feel unwelcomed if they do things I don't like. Granted some deserved it like when I found them cheating or being too cocky for their own good, still not my place to do that.

So as one of the better players he intentionally forced the kid to move up due to "being so successful" to the regular event and paired him against me.
When I was a kid, my friend's parents always bought him the best Yu-Gi-Oh! cards - whatever he wanted - and he also insisted on cheating by drawing multiple cards a turn and during our turns when we weren't paying attention to what he was doing. This story reminds me of that. (I used to lie about made-up fusion monsters that were in Japanese sets that hadn't come out that didn't exist to win games, myself, but it was usually against this friend.)
As for Magic...I usually get salty when I'm playing Commander and people aren't as good as threat recognition or politics as I am, so when I start getting targeted and there's somebody who's clearly either about to go off or building up an unstoppable army, I get a bit frustrated. But I'm usually pretty sportsman-like, that aside.
As for the most toxic things that have happened to me...
There was this one game at a recent Legacy tournament where a guy kept trying to ruleshark me and was just extremely rude in general; he was playing Storm, I was playing Oops, and he his deck was quite pimped out; Japanese foils everywhere and the like. He called the judge over at one point due to a misplay that I made, which ended up in my deck being shuffled, which actually won me the game. Afterwards, he sat diagonally from me, and told my opponent, "Yeah, I can't believe I lost to this ******* *****" (referring to my deck). I don't know what his issue with me was but he was just a general ******** to me from the moment he sat down. He didn't seem to have any problems with anyone else there.
My first time participating in a Magic event, it was Ravnica block sealed. My first opponent used a constructed deck against me, with cards from 9th Edition.
I played in a 2-Headed Giant event with my sibling, and I cast Hypergenesis. Our opponents asked us to explain how the card worked in 2HG, so we took the time to walk them through how it worked, then one of our opponents called a judge over and complained that we were slowplaying. The judge immediately gave us a warning for slowplay and walked away without a chance for us to protest.
When I went to the Lorwyn prerelease, I brought a big pile of most of my rares to the event, set them down, somewhere, and somehow forgot them when I got up from the table. I went back to the table and they were gone. I quit Magic for about 6-7 years after that.

I've ragequit online more than once (though haven't in real life).
One time in person, this kid was talking about how good his deck was, so taking no chances I run the best thing I have on me. His deck stunk so whooping him looked bad (I got a good draw and he didn't which made it look even more unbalanced)
I routinely play cards like Ruination, Back to Basics, Blood Moon and Contamination in Commander. In fact, attacking the opponents' resources via mass discard and land destruction is often my go-to strategy in general. IN MY DEFENSE, I play with people who use proxied original dual lands in their Commander decks.
I once had a game where I powered out Trinisphere, Winter Orb, Clock of Omens, and a couple mana rocks by turn 2, and was holding Nether Void in my hand to play on turn 3 before my opponents scooped.

Nether Void looks like a perfect fit for the Liliana-themed deck I'm building o.O
I hope it's not a budget deck, since a NM English one will run you over $400.

I often raredraft, as it's logical when playing for relatively small prizes, but haven't gone this far. I'd probably open the packs anyway so I may as well open them as part of the Limited event, and have a chance at prizes
