** In general, Magic averts this trope. If you beat a Spike with unconventional tactics, he\\\'ll usually compliment you instead of calling you \\\"lucky\\\" or \\\"[[{{Scrub}} cheap]].\\\" Winning, rather than \\\"proper play,\\\" is the metric of player skill.
** There are, however, exceptions; particularly irritating are those who fill their decks with foreign-language cards for \\\"variation\\\" and almost roll their eyes out of their skulls if you have to actually ask what a particular card actually \\\'\\\'does\\\'\\\'.
** There is a definite subtype of Spike, though, that loves to fill their deck with only \\\"good\\\" rares, barring basic lands. You\\\'re winning? Spike\\\'s attitude becomes a bit abusive and Spike acts like your deck is cheap, no matter what it\\\'s composed of. Spike is winning? Spike then becomes condescending about how \\\"It\\\'s a shame you can\\\'t afford all the great cards like Spike can.\\\" Seriously, I can\\\'t be the only one who\\\'s ever run into this type of player who is rather drastically mistaken about what a \\\"great\\\" card actually is.
I\\\'m not really into Magic, but what I gather from the above is just that there are exceptions to every blanket statement you can make about the players, which is true of any entry.
* Try playing most card games for fun. Some like Texas Hold \\\'em and Poker get this treatment moreso than others. People also insult you for not playing the game correctly.
** Which is ironic, considering that the people being insulted are effectively \\\'\\\'handing out free money\\\'\\\' to the people who hate them.
*** Not necessarily. There is nothing more frustrating than drawing a monster hand pre-flop, getting community cards that don\\\'t seem to threaten your hand, then dropping your entire bankroll to some schmuck who decided to stay in with nothing and happened to luck into a winning hand.
**** Yes, but you \\\'\\\'want\\\'\\\' people to be making plays like that. They\\\'ll get lucky once in a while, but usually it\\\'ll work out in your favour.
***** Except when it doesn\\\'t. A single bad beat can be VERY costly to your bankroll, and that\\\'s what makes it so frustrating. And cause the guy is just staying in regardless, there are no tells to read, so you have no indication as a player that maybe you should back down.
****** It\\\'s a game with an element of luck, deal with it or don\\\'t play.
** Try playing Blackjack at a casino without having memorized a strategy card, but this reaction is somewhat justified since your mistakes can screw things up for the other players.
*** But only somewhat because it only \\\"affects\\\" other players in a results-oriented sense; whether the other players play well or poorly has no effect on your \\\'\\\'chances\\\'\\\' of winning, but that\\\'s a small comfort to blackjack noobs who just saw someone \\\"take the dealer\\\'s bust card.\\\"
**** the effect is real, but not as prevalent as you\\\'d expect. As the game continues, the count tends towards the middle. SO when the player at 3rd base takes a hit when he has no business doing so (when the count is high and a 10 will bust him) he is likely to take the dealer\\\'s bust card. Sure, there may be another ten after, but the odds of the dealer getting a ten DID go down.
*** Sometimes, you can even get insulted by inexperienced players when you play correctly but counter-intuitively.
*** Insulting opposing poker players for perceived mistakes can be a huge part of the MetaGame.
Wow. O.o I worked in \\\"for the most part\\\" and the last bit of natter to the main point, but the rest of it seems to be the same way as Magic; there are exceptions to every rule and counter exceptions to the exceptions, but that\\\'s fine. Nobody\\\'s saying every experienced player fits the trope definition.
