The Magic the Gathering Fanbase is made up of 5 types of players. I will try to turn those into an Allied and Enemy Pentagon just like the pentagon of colors.
Timmy VS Jonny: Jonny likes when the game is tricky with comboes to be unlocked but Timmy likes all cards to do what they say they do.
Jonny VS Vorthos: Vorthos plays because they consider magic a Fictional storyline land but Jonny wants no flavor; they want everything in the game to be gameplay based.
Vorthos VS Melvin: Melvin wants Flavor to be connected to gameplay but Vorthos just wants wants flavor to be easy to understand.
Melvin VS Spike: Spike wants a deck with all around fine cards but Melvin likes playing with cards that are funny together.
Spike VS Timmy: Timmy likes to play for pure fun decks to play with but Spikes get their fun by making anoying decks that are no fun to play against.

Except Melvin and Vorthos are on a different axis. That's like saying there's 5 ways to eat a meal: breakfast, lunch, dinner, eating out and eating at home. And then making a pentagon of that.
But say we do go with it. Are you saying Spike and Vorthos are allies???

I thought this was going to be about Star.
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.

While I agree the OP's premise is hilariously flawed, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner are entirely different ways of eating a meal, as it dictates how I cook it and where I eat it.

This. Spike and Vorthos aims are often very counter to one another.

This is so wrong it burns. I am quite literally ablaze.
If Wizards put hundred dollar bills in each pack, players would complain that they weren't folded right.

Whoa, hold up now.
Timmy gets his fun from big effects and stuff. Spike gets her fun from trying her hardest to win. You can't describe Timmy as wanting to have fun and Spike as not wanting to have fun, they both want to have fun or else they wouldn't be playing the game. You also can't describe Timmy's decks as objectively fun to play against and Spike's as not. The Spikes of the world aren't going to have fun playing against the Timmys because their decks won't provide a challenge, and the Timmy's won't have fun playing against the Spike's because they'll probably have their aethetic choices in cards turned against them since Spike just lives for the power.
I'm not saying that there aren't cases when Timmy and Spike can have fun together. I'm just trying to show that there are people that dislike playing against Timmy, just like there are people that dislike playing against Spike.

Yes, the Griefer, who "gets their fun by making anoying decks that are no fun to play against" is actually a subset of Timmy.

A closer analogy would be -
These are dead on
Spike - black
Johnny - Blue
These arent
Timmy - green
Vorthos - White
Melvin - red

Why are you putting Vorthos in white and Melvin in red? I'd definitely have those reversed.
