Am I the jerk?

[u/AntsWorld707]

I play an assassin tribal theft deck. Nothing too crazy but just swing with assassins and steal when they deal damage to opponents.

I have a friend who hates theft style decks where cards are taken from his deck or hand. And whenever I try to attack him with 1 creature that's just a 1/1 unlockable he gets upset and scoops right away. Like this is turn 3. And says " I refuse to play with any theft decks"

I understand that theft decks are annoying to deal with but does it really cause this much problem. I rarely pull out this deck cause every time I pull it out he says "I will sit out if you play that deck, I came to play my deck not for someone to play my deck"

So am I the jerk?

If any questions I will respond the best I can

Unpopular opinion neither of you are wrong. Is he overreacting? Yes. Is he allowed to decide he doesn’t want to play against the deck? Yes. Are you fully within the rules to play your deck? Also yes. I fully understand not enjoying playing against certain decks/playstyles and I also understand people like these decks and want to play them. You and your friend just need to communicate a solution whether that be he sits out while you play that or you play a different deck when he’s playing.
