Do you have any stories of some guy, who can play a U/R deck with coin-flipping and still win v. your Overrift or Psychatog deck, sometimes at 1 life.
Anybody get a wellwisher out 2nd turn, then nothing but legions of elves while you got 10 land on top and nothing useful?
Did you do a limited draft and someone got a Kamahl AND a Seedborn muse in the same draft pile, getting at least one of the two EVERY TIME?
If you have any stories of a Yami, someone who tends to win whether or not they're trying, they logically would, or how many Lightning Rifts/Psychatogs/etc. their opponents have on the table, or someone who negates years of skill, effort, deck building and deck testing by constant freaks of chance (after shuffling library, drawing a Genesis to complement the Solitary Confinement they got a turn ago)
On the other extreme, anyone who just can't shuffle, no matter how good his shuffling strategy works for ANYONE else? Anyone who habitually gets ripped off in draft, or plays 3 lightning rift and draws nothing but basic land for JUST long enough to lose while their opponent's at 1? Anyone who mulligans once almost every game?
NOTE: Luck is NOT a constant, but it certainly seems like one sometimes. The concept of 'lucky' and 'unlucky' people is fallacious because it relies on:
False links:
"He got 2 Cabal Rituals, Book Burning, A mountain, a swamp AND Phage in the same opener twice in a row! He must have some kind of amazing luck!".
After the fact logic
"I sided out Dirge of Dread (which he never even used the whole match) v. MonoBlack control after I won, and then I lost the next two matches. I guess I lost because of siding it out."
