I was basically destroying people with random decks until I accidentally stumbled upon the rain dance meta (no one really knew how to play efficiently and an 8 year old was the first to figure out the meta in the store... they all must have been super casuals). That aside; I still play card games randomly (I stopped for the past year and half though).

I went through MTG tournies making money at every single event I went to; I use to play CFVG with the group that played at world level (I'm pretty sure one of them made it into top 3 but not in world's; can't remember); among other things.

That said; I think I'm being bias when I say I knew people who played with their pokemon cards back when base set was still new.

There's a difference between a slow meta format and slow players. I'm fine with the fat meta every once in a while; but a slow player has literally cost me tournies as I patiently wait for them to go 1-1 out of 3 in 45 minutes and end up giving me that draw which slots me under best 8.

That said; if anyone plays me in DN i'll be that loser who takes too long per turn.
