Matagi suji relies on the power of a shape like "233" or "334". When a player has a "233", it is unlikely for them to discard a 3 early - turning "233" -> "23" - since it'd come at a loss of [[tile efficiency]]. So if a 3 is discarded early, it is less likely for them to have "23" (which waits on 1-4) or "34" (which waits on 2-5) remaining. As the 1-4 wait and 2-5 wait are less likely, an early discarded 3 makes 1-4 and 2-5 safer. Note: tiles towards the outside of a discarded tile are ''much'' safer | Matagi suji relies on the power of a shape like "233" or "334".

Conversely, it is more likely for a player to keep shapes like "233" until [[tenpai]]. So if a 3 is discarded early, it is more likely for them to have a "23" or "34" remaining. This means an early discarded 3 makes 1-4 and 2-5 more dangerous. | Conversely, it is more likely for a player to keep shapes like "233" until [[tenpai]].
