If you're doing Fallen Empires you have to represent the split within each color! The Ebon Hand vs. their thrulls. Goblins vs. Dwarves. Icatians vs. the Femeref cultists. Also we need the Nephilim.

Boco_T posted:If they're still talking about the same thing, it's that when you have Eidolon of Rhetoric and Possibility Storm on the board, neither player can cast a spell again for the rest of the game. So you have to have something on the board that can win, it's a symmetrical hard lock. That's hardly a hard lock. It's not a hard lock even in Standard, nevermind Modern / Legacy.

Angry Grimace posted:Yeah, a seemingly common mistake is using the +1 before combat, giving your opponent an invincible chump blocker. Choosing when to +1 and give an invincible blocker is part of the fun. A few games I'll +1 on a desecration demon and swing in with my Prognostic sphinx. I want my scy, damnit!

Boco_T posted:Am I misunderstanding how Possibility Storm works? When you cast a card with Possibility Storm on the battlefield, that card itself never resolves. Then when whatever you reveal with Eidolon can't be cast at all, because you cannot cast a second spell on the same turn. I understand that there are other way to get cards out, but what am I missing here? It prevents your opponent from ever casting another spell?

Boco_T posted:That's what I said in the original post, and endlessmonotony said it was "not a hard lock even in Standard." I was wondering in what way it wasn't. Well, your opponent could always kill you with Mutavaults, so I suppose it is indeed not a hard lock.

I don't know what breaks the lock in standard, but for modern you could flashback Ray of Revelation to destroy Possibility Storm. Cards cast from the graveyard don't trigger it.

I could watch Manaless Dredge win through Rest in Peace all day. Granted, the RIP showed up when the non-dredge guy was at 4 life and facing down 3 power, but still. e: welp, nevermind. It's a lot better on turn 2. Minority Deport fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Apr 20, 2014 |

The way Joe Lossett (Miracles player) punked the Manaless Dredge deck out of game one was glorious. Manaless Dredge Dread Returned Balustrade Spy and flipped his whole library into the graveyard. He immediately went to Dread Return back Flayer of the Hatebound using Narcomoebas. In response Miracles casually played a second Vendillion Clique, sending his first one to the graveyard and blowing up all the Bridge from Belows. Then Flayer of the Hatebound enters play, shoots Miracles for 2, then immediately gets exiled with a Swords. Manaless Dredge only has 1 creature in play and no Bridges so he passes turn, Miracles plays a land and passes, Manaless Dredge loses to getting decked.

From the stream, it seems like the best way to beat a Counter-Top deck is to constantly act like you're confused about their sequencing of activated abilities and triggers until they themselves get confused explaining it to you and end up declaring the sequence wrong.

Really awesome feeling: Winning game 2 through the earliest possible Domri Emblem with control (turn 2 Domri, +1 every turn, never drew a D-Sphere). Really lovely feeling: Game 3 my 7 card hand has no land. Neither does the 6. Or the 5. Or the 4.  Just sucks when skillful play means nothing thanks to the shittiest shuffler luck I've ever had.

Happened to me last week playing modern. I'm diggin' Amulet-Combo (going 3-1 most nights, or 3-0 split first), but my track record against one buddy there is abysmal, since I've had no-landers mull to 3-5 every time we get paired. lovely luck sometimes, sure, but I suppose it makes up for the stupid poo poo I've done like T2 double-Amulet triple-Summer Bloom, drop 4 Titans with +2/+0 and Haste.

Korak posted:They just showed this and goddamn do I love Joe Lossett. He's played so much Miracles that he usually knows how to make a good play in any situation, even if he's human and sometimes doesn't make the best play. He thinks through his lines online really well. They're replaying the entire match and I just can't stop laughing at Chapin's commentary. "He has found one half of his combo - a Vendillion Clique-, and he just needs to find the other half, which will let him kill his own creature". EDIT: And Feline Longmore is 4-1, here's hoping she makes it into the Top 8! EDIT2: Peter Zhang is playing Staff of Nin, this is the best Open.
