Games Where Your Opponent "Luck Sacks his Balls Off"

[Forbiddian]

One card came from activating the Top in the last round. The second came from an extra turn that was left unmentioned, since apparently he had three mana on "turn 2" (Stifle+Nought + stifle Stingscourger).

But then he needs an extra land (third land would require 13 cards).

Let me get this straight, by turn 4 on the draw he had played 3 lands, 2 forces, 3 stifles, 2 dreadnaughts, 1 top, and 2 random blue cards? Thats 13 cards....you may have wanted to call a judge.

Turn 1 Draw, land, Top (6).
Opponent's Turn 2: Force of Will (4)
Turn 2 Draw, land, ? (4)
Turn 3 Draw, land, Nought+Stifle (2).
Opponent's Turn 3: Stifle (1). Activate Top (2), Force of Will (0)
Turn 4 Draw, Swing for 12, Stifle+Nought (-1)

No idea how he did this. Also, by Sting, do you mean Tin Street Hooligan? Street Tin Hooligan? If so, then you cheated vialing it in. The activated ability only triggers if you paid g to play it. I don't think many players would have missed that.

Sting would be a stingscourger, I believe.

[jthanatos]

The worst part being if he took flash over peek he probably would have got there.

I'm playing R/g Goblins against R/W Rifter a while ago. I open 2 Mountain 1 Flashfires 1 Lackey 1 Goblin Piledriver 1 Aether Vial 1 Goblin Ringleader. I then procede to draw 1 Mountain in about 25 draw steps, not exaggerating. At every single one of those turns, Flashfires was absolutely game. He landed Humility early and the endless stream of Goblins was just bad. The turn before I draw Mountain #4, Teeniebopper plays Sacred Ground. Probably the most painful game I've ever played.

Yesterday at ELI's huge tourney. I'm playing Aggro Loam and him Merfolk. He gets me down to 2 life around turn 6 and I finally resolve Devastating Dreams leaving him with no hand, no permanents, me with a Mox Diamond, and just needing to draw one land to get my Loam online (he had discarded all 3 of my lands to Dreams) I draw, not land pass. He draws, plays Mutavault go. Figures. I draw, play the land I drew land, play Loam, get back Wasteland, Cycler, something else. Then he topdecks Island, I lose. Lame

Been there, done that. Once I actually did it and once I fizzled because of wrong order in played spells.

Sui Black vs. BU Control

Me: Island
Him: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Phyrexian Negator.

Him: No counter?
Me: Nope.
Him: This should be a quick game then.

Me: Swamp, Dark Ritual+Island->Masticore
Him: Shit.

Him: Swamp. Attacks with Negator, I eat the damage. Second main, some imp thing.

Me. Island. Main phase targeting Negator, he lets it go immediately and then attack with Masticore and eats it.

Him: Swamp, attacks with Imp thing, I go to take damage. He tries to cast Hatred off another Ritual, I FoW the Hatred.

The second game went similar to that one for 2-0.

A few weeks later during first game:

Sui Black vs. Sligh

Him (again): Swamp, Dark Ritual, Negator.
Me: Mountain, go.
Him: Attacks with Negator.
Me: Lightning Bolt on its head.

Negator's disability was one of the best drawbacks ever to take advantage of, I miss that thing so much.

Such a classic example of why Negator is such a bad card at times. XD

I'm at PTQ Austin this passed Saturday, I am playing RGB Bloodbraid Rock against that new Swans Assault deck. Game 2, I lost Game 1. My opponent is one swing away from death, he has nothing on the board and only 5 lands in hand (I Thoughtseized earlier). I am at 12 life and am tapped out. His turn:

He topdecks a Bloodbraid Elf, casts it, cascading into a Seismic Assault, swings for 3 (I'm at 9) and deals 10 damage with the Assault. FML. Luckiest play ever. Not only did he topdeck the only card that would allow him to win, but, he avoided the Pridemages and Pulses in his deck and cascaded into Assault, and he also had the perfect amount of lands in his hand to deal lethal...
