Speed the game up? Oh, that's simple: Just toss in an infinite combo for "Okay, I didn't want to use this, but the game's taking forever, so here you go."
There's an important distinction between long games and a game that lasts more turns. Slow play makes those combo decks take "too long."
Those slow players using Jhoira and 0cc artifacts and Paradox Engine still move as the pace of molasses.
I never miss an opportunity to attack. Even if I know the person I attack is the type of person to hold a grudge, I'll still do it. I also find that I often start the game as the archenemy just from playing foil lands.
All of the long EDH games that were bad games, were due to slow play from 1-2 players. They drag on, durdle or no-durdle, slow players make actions/phases take a long time.
All of the long EDH games that were good, were due to lots of back and forth. You can have lots of back and forth and not play slow. These games were long but didn't take "too long." It was fun to whole game.
Just had a to get a rant out about slow players. It's the number one reason why games take too long. And to me the only one that actually matters. Long games, short games, let's just play the most amount of good games possible.
