I continued to focus on the spam topic simply because other users commented on my opinion, and contrarily to Dirk and Pokken, one of them was hostile.
As I already wrote: it's clearly a pretty difficult deck (or at least the game plan is challenging) and I don't play enough multiplayer games to concentrate on mastering the intricacies of this deck. I liked the basic premise of the deck, and Phelddagriff is a funny card, but I lost my interest due to some stuff cca 3/4 through the primer.
I don't care about their ignorance, I won't ask them to not talk their thoughts, and I will not hold my thoughts because some people have their feelings hurt for those.
I don't care about your ignorance.
There's a reason why this stuff should not appear here, simply for the same reason why you wouldn't annoy a people playing chess in air raid shelter with screams of "there's a WAR outside, guys, there's a WAR!!!" For the second time, so that even the slower ones got the message: in a context of MtG, I don't give a penny what the scientists say about flogiston, flat Earth, theory of four humours, or anything else. I came here to read about Magic: the Gathering, not to be bothered.
Fundamentally the science of is close enough to settled so I don't think it's a political issue anymore (other than what to do about it, which is where the relationship comes in with Pheld)--and there are tons of scientific parallels in EDH!
But this absolutely doesn't matter. Even if the climate change science was setled more than the theory of humours, it has nothing to do on a MtG site, I'm not interested in being bothered by it, and I may feel that there are more pressing and urgent dangers than something that may or may not change the living conditions on Earth in centuries. For what it's worth, I may be a climate change scientist myself. Or I may live in a deluge zone and see the climate chnage happening in front of my very eyes. But there's no reason to bother the paople with this kind of stuff, I came here to have fun with cards, not to be shoved down my throat a brimstone and hellfire propaganda. If you can't understand that, so be it.
Good job in turning this edh guide into another politicsa-&-religion-&-stuff thread, there was none on the web until now, and we desperately needed it.
I didn't mean any offense by the section, although I'll admit to going a little over the top with the joke about not voting (although it was just a suggestion not a totalitarian demand).
Yeah, and this was pretty arrogant: you suggest to all the people who are either unconvinced by the climate changers' arguments or who see more closer and dangerous challenges, to resign on their political rights. If this would be written in any non-mainstream context, I guess there'd be flak all over the place.
Morevoer it has nothing to do with Mtg, and as I already wrote, I don't want to read about politics, reliogion and other such stuff on a MtG site. I want my game to be a refuge from this affairs, and I don't know why I should be bothered by these things, no matter what's my opinion on a particular matter.
I like this section because it's a good metaphor for how Phelddagrif operates
It isn't a good metaphor. For one, it needed an explanation of how the deck operates and that explanation offered everything necessary without any unneeded political stuff. And at least for me it brought no light into the Phgriff problematic, coz it made very little sense, as illustrated here:
Regardless of what you believe about Hell, I think we can agree that many people see it as a problem, yet despite a broad public desire to do something about it...
See? It brought absolutely nothing possitive into an MtG dsicussion, yet it's a perfect way how to alienate or piss the readers. which in this case was exactly what happened, as I stopped reading any further.
However, being a mainly 1v1 player, and realizing that for the few multigames that I annualy play I wouldn't choose such a difficult deck, further debate is unnecessary and I may return to the lurker status.
Yes. If there'd be another way how to report the stuff, I'd keep lurking.
Isn't Mtg Salvation a non-partisan, non-political, non-religious site devoted to Magic: the Gathering? I'm not interested in original poster's worldview or his/her opinions on a controversial scientific matter. And I find it arrogant that I have those opinions shoved down my throat while I'm looking for a Phelddagriff related edh thread, not to mention that his proposal that dissident people should not vote stinks of totalitarianism.
I kinda liked the primer until I got to the climate change part.
Ok, we got the point: you got an agenda. Will you be so kind as to cut out this highly politicized theme?
I came to mtgsal to read about Magic. If I wanted to read about religion, politics, anti-abortion, male privilege, veganism, creationism, climate change or any other political/religious/worldview nonsense, I wouldn't come to this site.

I won't bother you any more.
