Having a problem in my playgroup and I thought maybe you fellow autists might be able to help me out. There's a guy in my group who is a lot better than the rest of us. If we play evenly matched power level decks, he almost never loses, and he still get more than his fair share of wins against out bracket four decks even if he's a on bracket two decks or precons. Our group has kind of "self corrected" and we keep hitting him with removal to prevent him from ever getting off the ground because it feels like if he ever gets to do anything, he snowballs out of control and wins the game. Even while we're doing that, he still manages to get more than his fair share of wins. It legitimately does not matter what deck he's playing, he does it even if we trade decks for the night. He expressed frustration with us tonight and said he's getting tired of always getting hit with all of the removal, but none of us really know what we're supposed to do because he keeps stomping us even while we're doing this. He said that part of the reason he gets wins is because we don't use our removal on things that matter and that we don't actually try to win the game by putting threats in decks or pushing for wins when we can. I feel like I'm always doing everything I can to win, and I have the second highest winrate behind him but it still feels like I only ever win because we're using all our resources against him and then I get lucky and he doesn't find a way out of it. I want to improve my winrate more but I also don't want him to be frustrated becasue I see his point, there's times where we use counter spells on his arcane signet but we'll let smothering tithes resolve on our boards because we're scared of him still.
