Scrub

A term used by skilled players to describe players new to the game.

Habits

At tournaments skilled players can often identify scrubs by several clues, like how they hold their hands, how they place their cards on the playing surface, on their mistakes, or on their questions. Most skilled players often want to get a fast game against scrubs, and also use their knowledge of the rules to devastate these players, especially if the scrub has borrowed a deck from a very skilled player. There are some people who borrow top decks to scrubs they trust to share the price with them in case the scrub wins with the deck.
