I’ve noticed that in my playgroup when someone is falling behind in Commander they usually get much, much less heat, to the point that they’re able to ramp their mana and then just win out of nowhere after everyone has depleted their resources etc., so I was wondering if one could actually fake it and if you do do you have any tips for it?
No, but i own an LGS and sometimes i make the suboptimal play so i am not always winning. I do not throw games, but sometimes i spend mana the wrong way which prevents me from doing more in a turn. Also bring the shop owner puts a target on me from the start.
I ran an EDH League and one player insisted I won every game. I in fact lost every game of the league because I would always get dog piled asap.
That happens to everyone I bet! Especially in Commander it can get difficult to keep track of the board and every ability, but that’s an honest mistake!
I’m sorry that you get to be the Archenemy even though you don’t deserve it!
