What would you have done in my shoes /tg/?

I'm not bothered because everybody has bad days, just surprised a full grown adult would behave is such a way.

I'd do what you did but sort of half-laugh at it, like just some air comes out enough that you know it's a laugh type of laugh, and if that's his final straw he isn't allowed to come again if I have anything to do with it

Concede.
I don't track my W/L, and life's too short to play a game with a dipshit. "Hey, I've gotta bounce, you win." has no counterargument.

Same thing except I wouldn't have apologized.

I wouldn't play MtG in 2025.

just say you cucked, no need to dress it up as moral high ground like a redditard

>>95922113 (OP)
I would tell him that I'm playing to my outs.
I'm no stranger to games where the wincon shifts to letting the opponent deck out while I answer whatever threat they present. In fact, those are some of the most enjoyable games I've had.

>>95922113 (OP)
I would not have played stall because annoying people to death as my win condition is a miserable way to live
