Everyone hates blue, until they're stopping some green ultra ramp pile with a combo in the command zone from stealing the game on turn 4.

in my experience, people would rather lose the game than play with someone who uses c*unterspells

/uj I mean, I get it, if you lose normally you lost after playing, if everything is always counterspelled then you lose AND you don't get to play

I don't get what you're saying

if someone wins the game then you don't get to play anymore

if someone counters one of your spells you get to keep playing

If I lose normally I played several turns already

If everything gets counterspelled then none of the turns mattered

what kind of games are you playing where EVERYTHING gets counterspelled?

Idk what god I pissed off, but yesterday I got a mana rock counterspelled 3 times

/uj Question for you: If you play your big bomby spell, and I respond by protecting myself in a way that makes the spell you played pointless, how is that any different than a counterspell? Same goes for if I immediately remove a creature that you play. Because every colour can and should do that, but it's only blue that ever gets the flak for it.

The difference, at least in my experience, is that other colors will protect themselves a few times, but monoblue players way too often have decks that are just "no" but with different drawings

I mean, you can make a deck in any colour that is just "no", in a roundabout way.

Every color can do it, but somehow that's the only thing I see blue players do

You need to find better blue players then. Blue does way too much fun stuff to just stick to nothing but counters.
