This is why I hate it when new people want to dive into edh immediately. I have the goblins vs merfolk duel deck specifically to teach people but they’re like “nah I have a deck” so I teach the basics best I can but also have to teach timing and the stack and also combos and synergy. Had to explain to a guy that hardened scales didn’t double static boosts.
Also evaluating an edh board requires a ton of knowledge and experience. I was at a table with some friends, 1 experienced and 2 brand new to edh. Experienced friend was in UG and was potentially combing next turn. I blew my good stuff to one shot him and the other guys were like “why you bully him.” So I’m like OK I won’t. Next game he slaps the table and they’re like “why you no stop him.” 🤷🤷🤷
