In my opinion, player number is playing wrong.
It's mostly a meta thing, however, since everyone who followed that strategy in our group ended up making a terrible and detrimental deck. Aggroing 100% since the earliest turn to kill a player asap always ended up this way:
- aggro player kills a player at random.
- maybe he kills another player, but then the deck finishes its gas
- eliminated player sit down bored while the game go on for at least other 20 minutes
- aggro player lose
of course there are deck capable of realizing this strategy efficiently, however i didn't see many of them during my games.
This. If you're aggro or Voltron, make sure that you build your deck so that you can kill the table. If you build it so that you can quickly take out one guy, but then have trouble finishing, you are indeed "playing wrong". Player 3 as described is playing right, because he's often a "finalist", meaning he isn't just blowing out one guy then being a non factor while another player wins.
