I have read many posts about "Thug" decks that people play, and I
unfortunately, as of late, have had to compete against various
incarnations of this type of deck.

I build decks that can work against a variety of styles of built decks,
and can take many to task but often fall victim to an onslaught of
"Thugs".

My point is this. As far as skill goes in playng the game I have
excelled beyond the other players I deal with (this is wha they admit
themselves, not my ego speaking). The problem is that skill means
nothing against a thug deck. I get comments that I am not a good player
because I have lost so many games as of late, and honestly it has begun
to grate on me. One player prevails due to the False Mentor card, and
has rarely won without it.

I just needed to vent a bit. I know how to fix their little red wagon.
*Laughs* I'll post the results of my retaliation after I have finished.
