I always concede as soon as I know I've lost rather than force my opponent to go through the motions. I really appreciate it when my opponent does the same for me, so I always do it for my opponents unless he/she was rude or whatever.
That's a polite attitude to take, but I'm a little less...nice about it. 10 minutes left on the clock in game 1 when you assemble VaultKey? Sorry bub, you gotta put me to zero (or 10 poison, as the case may be).
Is it cynical? Yes. Though, to be fair, if I know the person playing across from me, I'm more likely to just concede.
Your points are valid and well put, but I guess what I dont like about the whole scenario as a whole, is that we could potentially have an online vintage metagame, that has some serious missing pieces of top decks that you might see at Vintage Champs for example (I'm looking at you Bomberman) simply because of the time thing. I would love to try out Bomberman online, but I just dont see, even someone who is very proficient at playing it, will consistently be able to beat the clock. So if you want to use MODO as a playtesting resource for a live tournament, you're missing some valuable pieces.
