I get enough of that at work and don’t like my casual games of magic decided that way. I mean if one player is overpowering and it’s everyone’s best interest to team up, that’s one thing. But wasting 45 minutes playing a game just to have one guy convince others to team up to get what he wants isn’t playing magic, it’s manipulating people is is the most unsatisfying way to lose a game, even over mana screw in my opinion.

Funniest thing I saw all weekend was in a 4 player pod, one of our regulars was able to convince a younger player to so basically everything he wanted, even making the younger kid believe that what he wanted.
Example, I have 2 non threatening creatures, guy to my left has the regenerating color changing ogre, “villain” has reya dawnbringer and 5 other creatures in play. Kid plays the white card where we vote to exile a creature. Villain advises kid to choose the ogre, me and the other player are trying to convince the kid to pick Reya. After a long debate, kid bursts out “Im going to do whats best for my game, i vote ogre.”

So villain proceeds to win game. After getting kid to mill himself for no prizes…
