"#2" This is a game for beginners.  If you can't handle newbs (which are different than n00bs) pausing the game for a few seconds you either need to get some patience or go play another game.

Ok. It should be "try to evade" instead of "don't". The thing is - there is a whole campaign with revenge and stuff to learn cards. I just think that if you (in real life) come to the company of strangers who play for fun, not money, it'll be rather rude to ask every time about cards (rules, pieces and so on). It's wasting of their time without proper compensation.

Ehhhhh, I think you'll find this isn't exactly true when dealing with magic players in real life.  I've played for 17 years on and off.  I don't keep track of every card printed each year.  So, on occasion, when I play with people using decks I'm unfamiliar with I will often ask them to read the card before it resolves.  Nobody cares. 

There are literally thousands of cards in this game with 3 new sets coming out each year, that's 500+ cards a year.  A lot of them are reprints, but many of them are new.  Hell, even being a reprint doesn't guarantee I've seen the original card before.

Now, obviously, this is a limited format with a limited number of cards available so, in time, everyone should be on board.  But here's the thing, every day new people are buying this game.  you don't know ifyou're in a lobby with a vet or a newbie.

Some don't play through the campaign and encounters to learn the cards and I am one. So after a new deck pack comes out I may pause once in a while to read the card.
I even have to pause sometimes because the other plays a card that was such an auto uninclude for me that I am not at all familiar with it.
I am no where near being a rude player although Wiggles may disagree (if you do, it was only one game... sue me).

To me it feels like the loser should be saying gg.  For some reason it just sounds weird coming from the winner! Maybe i'm oldschool with that or something but I only say it when I'm about to lose.  Not while I'm swinging 5 RoReplicated Titans.. sounds a bit like gloating...but it is funny when they are shoutin GG with 5 green titans coming in and i'm holding fog and overun or something!!

IDK just a minor pet peeve of mine i guess.

They said "good game". Just accept it for what it is. Text is easy enough to misconstrue without reading into the most simple and obvious of sentiments.
