back in the old days we had a girl, who always played elves. we always beat her, though it was always close. the fun was to kill her legolas and hear her complaining (she used to be quite impulsive and loud).  Angry

that´s a plus for personal face-to-face play. if you beat your opponent, you want a reaction in his face. you don´t get that online.

we had another girl, who lost really every game. she was sort of: alas, i lost again. hm. that was bad luck.  Neutral
playing her was not fun, it was rather work. you had nothing to win, just to lose.

i think you should just feel lucky you had girls in your playergroup. i know a lot of groups didn't.

What Gil-Estel understands as "fun game" is a game with casual decks, as opposed to competitive. Maybe you should have just asked for a game of "casual LotR". Smiley

Well, that is not true. I like to win, and I am competitive. But I don't mind losing, as long as it is vs a good deck. The better a deck -and better means to me: there is thought about strategy in order to win the game- and the less obvious, since discard is perhaps the easiest deck to make, I mean I can create such a deck in less then a minute, and I am not the best deckbuilder, the more I appreciate it. I like hardcore decks, but they shouldn't be shallow.

Only played against two female opponents that were "competitors" I.E. Beating people who were top 20 DGMA players at the major events like Contenentals and Worlds... Lisa Gansky (sp) and Kim Caton. But only at major events did I hang out with them... The local playgroup population had maybe a 1/2 dozen girls with rankings under 1600.

If a deck that is considered competitive is losing to another deck, no matter how cheesy the strategy is (discard), then either it's a bad choice of deck for the meta (if discard deck beats everything), or you're just not packing cards against this specific match-up. Maybe you should consider adding some cards against this archetype. As far as I remember, with discard it's quite easy to find cards/strategies that beat it pretty heavily.
