Why does losing with your favorite deck feel so much worse than losing in most other games?

Because in a trading card game, you're not just playing with game pieces.

You built the deck.

You chose every card, made every cut, and spent hours turning it into something uniquely yours.

Psychologists call this identity attachment. When we create something ourselves, we naturally connect part of our identity to it. That's why winning feels validating, but losing can feel surprisingly personal.

Have you ever been more upset about losing with one deck than another?
