mehall posted:Since we're talking about Un-Set, after a discussion with my friends today, I asked MaRo about Un-Set Jaya Ballard. He either didn't get, or deliberately skirted, my question, but the idea was: Have an Un-set Jaya Ballard who cares about you casting spells with Jaya Ballard Flavour text. And make it deal damage to your opponent when they cast spells with newwalker flavor text.

Best thing about is that they have 10 euro shipping set, no matter how much you order, tracked shipping. I got plenty of foreign language theros and BOTG pre-release boxes there for dirt cheap. (Like 50ish quid for all 5 pre-release boxes, in italian)

Archenteron posted:Thrull deck? Please elaborate I don't know if anyone has the exact list, but it's this: Hyper Crab Tank posted:Yeah, that. I don't remember it in full, but the win condition was something ludicrous involving that goblin tribal enchantment that deals 1 damage whenever something dies. It required you to painstakingly slowly generate enough thrulls to kill your opponent, but the real kicker was that because of its diabolically awkward mana base, the only way to get to that point involved casting Beacon of Immortality something like 140 times. Targeting your opponent. With Hive Mind out. The result is that your opponent's life total scales exponentially into the stratosphere before you're ready to start the thrull-ping loop... and that loop scales linearly (and your mana base is still too awkward to allow more than like 1 damage a turn).

I found the posts with the ludicrously long goldfish deck. If you continue all the way through to Part 3, there's someone in the comments whose forum apparently has worked out decks of late that can take even more Heat Deaths Of A Universe (a necessary measure at this point) to win, but they look way less well checked.

Count Bleck posted:But why? You're asking "buy why" re: an actually interesting and mentally stimulating thought experiment after we just spent like 4 pages discussing utterly pointless hypothetical deck choices in 1) a format where literally anything is legal, card # restrictions are thrown out the window, and the ostensible point is to make "the dumbest deck possible" and 2) Vintage where nothing is banned or restricted except ante cards and cards you have to throw in the air to play, and everyone wins on turn 0.

Cernunnos posted:/\/\/\: A delayed trigger is put on the stack at the beginning of the next end step to return the creature. You can respond to that trigger. Flash combo wins just fine without artifact mana since getting around mental misstep is also important in this fake format. Leyline of Sanctity beats most of the combos too  .

KTK Constructed is so dumb. There's mostly crap for removal in Khans so cards like Zurgo Helmsmasher are completely busted. And I'm playing it to grind out packs because I'm a tryhard.

I really like that, it's probably one of my favorite Uncharted Realms. It's interesting, even though I'd say he's pretty clearly mono-black the whole way through, he originally had at least very vaguely noble intentions--put an end to the cycle of destruction that was eating his home plane. I feel like that's a nice example of "Black can still do good things, but in its own way".

Nah, the original nobility being mentioned here is before the part where he allows a dark being to kill everyone - the original nobility is the part where he's aware that his world has a propensity to cyclic war that he believes he can stop by creating a unified ruling power.

Yeah, this is it. *After* that he just goes "gently caress it, what I can't have I will burn to goddamn ashes and salt the earth because there's plenty of worlds out there". And from what we see of this little snapshot of him, he's very... fair, in his own way. He doesn't hold it against you that you're in it for yourself--when his army is broken and most of his soldiers surrender rather than die, his response is "Yeah, no, I'd do the same thing if I were you, the guys fighting to the end are dumbasses". Something about the way he's written just vaguely reminds me of Commander Vimes from Discworld, and I'm not sure just what it is.
