"18) Online Multiplayer Free-For-All Tip of the Month (TM): Don't stop playing until you're dead. This probably doesn't happen a lot in real life, but online once someone starts to dominate the game, one or more players will always quit. Quitting early only leaves all the underdogs in an even weaker position. If one person plays an Enormous Indestructible Creature (TM) or a spell that wipes out the board, he'll be the target of every other player in the game. I played one game where two players were jockeying over who could control more Darksteel Colossuses using Sculpting Steel. One player was so intimidated by this that he up and quit. He visited the game about half an hour later only to discover that both of those players were out of the game after knocking each other's life down and then getting hit by an entwined Grab the Reins. Quitting early can only waste the time you've already spent on the game. It also tells players with the most powerful spells that they don't really have to earn their wins."

Very true, but my mantra is typically to keep playing until the game isn't fun anymore. If you're that adamant about it, then I'll keep playing, but I'm getting nothing out of this game anymore. My own fault for wasting my resources early on, but I'm low on cards in hand and I have a big target on my chest from Melkor AND you, turgy22. Seems like the only underdog right now it just me.

I'll keep playing. My turn's over and I'm tapped out (save for my Maze of ith and my Top)

Turgy22 is right Trashman, make those bullies waste a turn or two taking you out, or be the spoiler (that should fit you)....

None here.

By the way, I think everyone thinks they're in the underdog position. Except Melkor, who is clearly suffering from megalomania.

He wouldn't be underdogs if you guys would just cast spells/creatures in order to fish more cards out of his hand via his Forbid/buyback.

I wish I could. And Spidey might. And if not, he'll at least keep some squirrels on the board.

Are you guys kidding me, I'M the underdog, not only am I very low on life, but I'm also running out of cards. I've just been praying this whole time that turgy22 doesn't have his Glimpse the Unthinkable in the deck. I am not going to Forbid the Hermit.

EOT: I'll activate the scroll, naming Fabricate. Reveal Darksteel Colossus. Nothing happens.

Start my turn.
Untap. Upkeep. Draw.
