>be absolute shit at magic
>decide, "ahh fuck it, I'll try some commander since I am a casual piece of shit anyways" and head to the lgs on commander night

>winning with a thrown together pile of vaguely synergistic cards against people with absurd "bracket 4" decks full of "game changers" that should be reliably winning on turn 4 but aren't because these people clearly just looked something up on edhrec and threw in the 99 most expensive cards or some shit, don't know basic strategy, and get absolutely blasted by even moderate interaction
