Apparently, the dynamic in which a regular MTG gaming group has a "Guy to Beat" who always gets ganged up on because his decks are so tough to beat is widespread enough that an article has been written about it:

Well, three-player chaos really sucks. It's by far my least-favorite format, because it ALWAYS winds up being two-on-one. For chaos I want at least four, or better yet five-plus, players, because it's a lot harder for that many to agree on one particular threat than it is for two players.

I see your point. We ran six player chaos one night, I loved it but I don't think I will get them to do it again as they all complained it took to long.
