Who do you consider bastard players? People who play annoying decks or
people that do alot of taunting and what not?

Personally, I don't like playing annoying decks since they are not fun to
play. I don't know why so many people in Germany are playing Troll/Wake
the Dead decks. It is repetitive and uninteresting to play. I just got
off the phone with the guy I played shamans vs. Trolls last weekend and
he said he wouldn't play that again, because they were the most boring
games we have had yet.

As for the people who like to taunt, I guess that is a good point for the
multiplayer format. The game is meant to be played for fun, not for
prizes and ego-boosting... That is what really annoys me in Magic
Tournaments.
