Games Where Your Opponent "Luck Sacks his Balls Off"

[rockout]

Ask and you shall receive. Post games where your opponent just totally luck sacked and did not deserve to win.

I can't think of any but maybe someone will start us off on a good note.

[Bigface]

Playing The Mighty Quinn vs ANT. I have Chant, Abeyance and Isochron Scepter in hand. He goes first (lost first one) for a 1-turn win. Something like swamp, Dark Ritual x3, Ad Nauseam revealing other mana stuff, playing some other mana stuff, LED, Infernal Tutor -> Ill-Gotten Gains. I sighed.

Another one: old Extended match, before Shards of Alara. Affinity (me) vs TEPS. He's at 2 life, ready to die next turn. Upkeep, double Lotus Bloom. Obviously, he draws Mind's Desire, storm for 5 (2 mana rituals), finds another Desire and then proceeds to crush my balls with a lethal ToA. Argh.

[Van Phanel]

Vintage-event of Bazaar of Moxen at Annecy, we are both at 3-1. I play Dredge, he plays Tezzeret.

Game1:
He (on the play) keeps his seven, I take a Serum Powder Mulligan and then mull to six into Bazaar.
He goes U-Sea, Needle Bazaar, go. Originally he had kept the hand because of 2 lands, Sol Ring, Thirst for Knowledge planning to discard the Needle.

Game2:
I mulligan to six into Bazaar, Bazaar, Dredger, Unmask, Unmask, Ancient Grudge. He keeps his seven. I start with Bazaar, activate, draw City of Brass and another Grudge. So I discard the dredger and two Grudge, and Unmask pitch Unmask.

He reveals: Tolarian Academy, Mox Jet, Mox Ruby, Sol Ring, Pithing Needle, Pithing Needle, Tezzeret. I obviously take Tezzeret planning to get rid of the Needles over the next two turns and then win.

On his turn, he goes Academy, Mox, Mox, Sol Ring, Needle, Needle, Ancestral Recall, Mana Crypt, Thirst for Knowledge, Time Walk, Demonic Tutor and kills me in his extraturn via Yagmoth's Will.

[J.V.]

I'm playing ALA,Shards,Conflux Limited, I have a Sphinx of the Steel Wind and a Tidehollow Sculler in play with which I saw his hand a saw 4 pieces of removal that couldn't hit the sphinx. He is at 2 life and on his last turn he topdecks a Captured Sunlight plays it putting himself out of range of my Sculler and cascades off a bonesplinter killing my sphinx. He then Proceeds to topdeck Flameburst Dragon on his next turn and Kills me with it the following turn.

Before his rating was so savage Andy Probasco (brassman) used to play at the weekly Legacy tournaments here in Alpharetta. And I don't have a particular story but Andy is a well known lucksack. He blind reveals with CB like it is his job and is a top deck master, he would be unbeatable if he ever played combo and would make good money if he played poker but he does neither ..... I don't get it. He is one of the three people who I have ever met that I would say are consistently lucky. Anyway, here is a good example of the lucksackery that is Andy: I was playing Aggro Loam and he is playing the only deck he ever plays (the one he played at the GP, seriously it isn't new tech when you are playing against it for 8+ months) and in 2 games he countered Krosan Grip 3 times with blind reveals on CB WITHOUT Top setup or Brainstorm .... this kind of thing is common while watching his games. Just read how he lucksacked into double Sower ftw against Eva Green!!

Doesn't the saying go, "Its better to be lucky than good." In the case of Andy, he's both lucky and good, so yeah, must be nice I guess.

[Black Mass]

Last Sunday in Mol
I was playing GRB Survival, he played MUC and he lost game 1.
I was at a point where he was at 3 and I had a Goyf and a Wickerbough elder in play. He had 2 cards in had witch I knew they were 2 counterspells, only one card could save him: sower. He drew: SOWER

Game 3. He was at 8 or something, I had yet agein a Elder in playn and a goyf. He plays sower to steal my goyf, I have no response, but I have shriekmaw and thoughtseize in hand.
On my turn I play thoughtseize on his 2 cards in hand. I see a second sower and a force. I take the sower and evoke shriekmaw. gg I thought. He drew a card: His third sower. Game for him. I didn't draw any of my other removal...

After the match it turns out he only plays 3 sowers...

[Ectoplasm]

Not my opponent, but I lucksacked once in a goblin mirrormatch where I was at 1 life and the game was at a kind of stalemate, 5 turns later I won after my opponent even managed to resolve a ringleader but failed to see any of his 4 mogg fanatics that were still in his deck.

[Jeff Kruchkow]

Playing TES at the gp affinity player gets me down to 3 because I kept a shitty hand. Ive got 4 land in play (kept too many), IT and LED. draw ponder play see nothing shuffle. Draw ponder look see nothing shuffle, blind draw LED, win.

I bet it was Fahad. He is a very, very big lucker. He always keept one-landed hands with MUC, and then goes draw land, draw land, draw land, draw land.

In the same tournament, I was playing UWx landstill, against Death and Taxes. He had a Canonist alongside an Aura of Silence (wtf, but it works on factories), and he topdecks a Cataclysm right before I draw into Elspeth. Damn you.

[Pulp_Fiction]

Oh yeah, I am taking nothing away from his playskill, he is a solid player, but his looming cloud of lucksackery that follows him around doesn't hurt either!

[Black Mass]

Yep, that was him. I've known some guys that have been lucked out, but he really was something else.

[J.V.]

I'm playing 4c Survival against TES I have him down to two life and I just thoughtseized him seeing AdN AdN, obviously I take the an ad nauseam, he the topdecks Cabal Ritual, He goes Cabal Ritual->AdN and reveals lotus petal, land, LED, LED, Land, Chrome Mox, Brainstorm. He stops at one life starts to combo brainstorms cracking LED's in response for RRRBBB and finds LED, Infernal, Burning Wish, must be nice.

[davidboan]

This isn't 1 I played but it was a good 1 to wach. 2 of My team mates were testing 1 was playing Fecundity Goblins and the other (the luck sack) was playing a janky Mono Black Reanimator. The luck sack had never seen Fecundity Goblins go off so we stacked it to go off on turn 3. The game went like this

Goblins: Wooded Foothills, Crack to get Mountain, Skirk Prospector, go

Reanimator: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Putrid Imp, Discard Hellkite Overlord and Magister Sphinx, Exhume (get Overlord), Exhume (Get Sphinx and drop opponent to 10 life) swing for 8, go

the Goblin deck scoops after that.

[pingveno]

I am playing dead guy, my opponent is playing GWR survival. He has one maindeck Worship to fetch with Rector. I have the kill on the board, something like 2 hippies and a grunt and he has a quirion ranger, a wall of roots, a goyf and three lands. We are both hand-less and he is at 4 life. Guess what the next card he draws is... and then I draw a dark ritual. Hurray

[Otter]

Regionals - Mirrodin/8th/Kamigawa - I'm playing 5cc Gifts against Tooth and Nail.

I've got all sorts of hate cards for the matchup, but we're down to the third game. He plays really recklessly, on turn four he taps his Top to draw and then drops a Simulacrum and shuffles his Top in. I untap and Persecute his entire hand into the bin (he didn't have a second Top, the card he traded it for was presumably T&N). So now he's topdecking and I have a healthy grip of cards, but it's all hate and no win conditions. I pull his Urza lands out with Sowing Salt so he can't go explosive on me, but he eventually hits eight mana and Titans most of my board. My manabase is left as two Mirrodin's Core, two City of Brass, a basic or two, and a Bird.

I scramble to find find an answer -- it's a Wrath, which flattens my Bird and leaves me with 2 City and 2 Cores as my mana sources. I get Witness recursion online and start shredding his deck up with Cranial Extractions, but I'm taking huge amounts of pain from the Cities. I still haven't found a dude to kill him with, so I start Witness beats. I strip every single damage source out of his deck except his lone Triskellion, and he draws it the turn before I would kill him with Witnesses. Go figure.

Oh, and also there was the game that I lost at FNM because some ten year-old kid had Nuissance Engine and a Healer's Headdress on a Trinket Mage. I was playing Death Cloud and I couldn't get Troll Ascetics past the 2/4 Trinket Mage and I couldn't Death Cloud or Barter in Blood because he had at least ten 0/1 Pest Tokens. He eventually beat me to death with a 1/1 Flier equipped with a Healer's Headdress and I couldn't kill it with Hideous Laughter (he'd built up enough other random creatures that I couldn't Laughter off the Pests and then Barter). I've never been so bewildered in my life, losing to a pair of Healer's Headdresses and a Nuissance Engine.

[Anusien]

I was playing a guy. I was ahead on board. He had only one out. He drew it. I lost :(

Yes the thread needs to contain more EPIC lucksack wins. Like one time Rich Shay was about to die and the there was no way he could win. Then his opponent cast Vampiric Tutor at 2 life. Now thats how you win a game. Awesome

If you are going to use the above formula, lame.

[andrew77]

During a money draft earlier this week I was playing 5cc against a jund deck. I have a board of a gorger wurm which just swung in, a vithian stinger, and a freshly played mostodon. My opponent has no hand and nothing in play. I am at 2 and it is game three. He has no unearths and has already played his resounding thunder, so I assume its game. He proceeds to do the following... bituminous blast mostodon, cascading into bloodbraid elf, cascading into dark temper to kill my stinger and then swing for game. All I have to say is cascade is fucking gay.

GP Chicago

Playing Goblins against UGR Stiflenaught.

Game 1
He plays first w/ island brainstorm, i do mountain vial, turn 2 he does stifle > naught I try to Sting it during my turn but it gets countered I'm feeling ok since I had another one and on his next turn he does another stifle naught and swings for 12... gg

Game 2
I lead with mountain vial pass, he does island top pass, my turn I do mountain chalice for 1 (forced) pass, he then does stifle naught, my turn I try to sting it w/ my vial and the sting gets stifled, i think hard cast my second stinger and it gets forced.. his next turn he swings for 12 draws w/ top and plays another stiflenaught. /sigh

[leander?]

:eek:
I feel so sorry for you, dude. Thats just something that would make me want to quit the fucking game..

[Mayk0l]

Couple of years ago, I'm playing UGw Thresh against the Rock. We're in the third game and going to time, he was winning it, there was only one possible out for me to topdeck in my drawstep in the third round of extra time when my hand had one card. I needed to topdeck Brainstorm, and with that Brainstorm I had to get STP ánd Mystic Enforer (of which I only played 2). I topdecked Brainstorm, got the STP and the Enforcer and won in 5th round extra time.
That player's a friend of mine, we still talk about that most epic piece of luck ever.

Worse luck against me? TES player. I stomp him down to 6 with Ichorid/Zombie beats. He topdecks Nauseum, continues to reveal 6-7 zero mana artifacts and a tutor. Good game.
But that's not really special. What's cooler is the TES player I played against yesterday. At five, he Nauseums, first card he reveals is Nauseum. I loled.

[Forbiddian]

Vs. Andy Probasco: Funny how good players tend to get lucky and blue decks tend to lucksack a lot.

The thing about Counterbalance is that it puts you in a position where you can get "lucky." For some reason when blind CB happens to hit or hits twice in a row, people scream about luck. CB is a good card because it's absolutely beastly while supported but is also pretty decent standalone. If your opponent casts 4-5 spells, you'll almost certainly stop one of them, even without any brainstorm/ponder backup.

I guess it's lucky to get some critical flips, but not nearly as lucky as this stuff:




I remember having lethal (my opponent was really low, I only had like a pump knight and a priest) with White Weenie. I had a Cop: Red out and tons untapped and comfortably sitting at 7-8 life against Sligh. My opponent has three Mountains and nothing in hand. He rips Wheel of Fortune into Lotus, Mountain, Apocalype (EDIT: Sorry, I thought Apocalypse was the right card, but someone else pointed out that I meant Anarchy. I had the right card in mind but said the wrong name), Double Fireblast. GG.

He needed to win that turn because the Wheel gave me another Cop: Red (although it didn't give me Swords to keep myself alive). My opponent did point out that drawing the Cop: Red was a little lucky, but I was pretty pissed off.


I wasn't playing, but I remember a recurring story of a blind Erratic Explosion hitting Draco at an old card store, although I can't confirm that it really happened.


And on Magic Workstation, with a small hand (everything useless) and 8 life with I think 2 land, maybe 3, facing a huge horde of Goblins, I activated two LEDs during my upkeep to float BBB and UUU (totally blind) and topped Brainstorm into Ad Nauseum, which let me go off and win (also it's quite lucky to win from 8 life with Ad Nauseum considering I had nothing in hand to start so I needed lots of fast mana and the kill con and a ton of draws).

Although to be fair, ANT has an awesome Gobs MU, so it was kinda unlucky to get in that situation in the first place.

[Malchar]

I was playing ANT at a small weekly tournament of about 10 players. My opponent is playing an unoptimized burn deck that basically has no way to win except to race me. I keep a good hand and go off on turn two with plently of life left. When I cast my Infernal Tutor, it is met with a FOW pitching a FOW. Luckily my opponent had planned ahead and put two FOW's in the maindeck of his mono-red burn deck (he had no sideboard) and skillfully drawn both of them.

[rockout]

I remember having lethal (my opponent was really low, I only had like a pump knight and a priest) with White Weenie. I had a Cop: Red out and tons untapped and comfortably sitting at 7-8 life against Sligh. My opponent has three Mountains and nothing in hand. He rips Wheel of Fortune into Lotus, Mountain, Apocalype, Double Fireblast. GG.

So he removed all permanents and discarded his hand and still fireblasted you when you had cop red on the board? The only way he could have done that is fireblast you in response to apocalypse to which you just cop red them. That's not him luck sacking, that's you giving him the game.

[Forbiddian]

Oh, my fault, I said the wrong card. It was an Anarchy (2RR, destroy all white permanents). It was actually a pretty popular card because there were two people playing WW and it pretty much wrecked us. Apocalypse is just awful (and he didn't have enough mana to cast it anyway).

[Forbiddian]

Not my game, but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmB0nlpz_2Y
Bam!
(~6.6% chance)


EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju_LZGBN5qU
BAM!

[hungryLIKEALION]

I have an amazing one... so I'm playing Eva Green against Aluren, which is like an 80/20 matchup probably. It's turn 8 or 9 and he has like 3 walls of roots(2 of which are 0/1s), a cavern harpy, a parasitic stryx, a couple crystal veins, and some trops out. He has no hand and I have a lethal tombstalker + 2 hippies on board. He has two life. He draws. Ponder. Shuffle, draw. Ponder. Shuffle, draw. Ponder. Shuffle, draw. Raven Familiar, grab Aluren, go off. I was floored. Absolutely fucking floored.

[Elfrago]

Best topdeck ever:

GP Chicago


Game 2
I lead with mountain vial pass, he does island top pass, my turn I do mountain chalice for 1 (forced) pass, he then does stifle naught, my turn I try to sting it w/ my vial and the sting gets stifled, i think hard cast my second stinger and it gets forced.. his next turn he swings for 12 draws w/ top and plays another stiflenaught. /sigh

Let me get this straight, by turn 3 on the draw he had played 2 lands, 2 forces, 3 stifles, 2 dreadnaughts, 1 top, and 2 random blue cards? Thats 12 cards....you may have wanted to call a judge.

[Nightmare]

I can really only remember my own lucksackery.

I've countered Enchantress's Solitary confinement blindly with CB. I revealed Krosan Grip just to add insult to injury.

I blindly countered a Death Cloud for 2 with 2 cards in hand, and my only 2 basics in play vs. Wastelock. I revealed the last remaining Force in my deck.

I've flipped Darksteel Colossus to Bob on turn 2, and won the game.

I played 4c Landstill vs. Red Death (pre-Goyf) and hit runner runner runner for the win vs. Anwar.

I mulled to 4 with Breakfast and won on turn 3.

I cracked Double Elspeth in a sealed. That's lucksacking in itself.

I dunno, I'm a sack.

Yeah, I realized that. What can I say? I've gotten really lucky against you a few times. I don't know what it is about our matches, but it happens a lot.

[Nihil Credo]

Let me get this straight, by turn 3 on the draw he had played 2 lands, 2 forces, 3 stifles, 2 dreadnaughts, 1 top, and 2 random blue cards? Thats 12 cards....you may have wanted to call a judge.
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).

[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.

[jthanatos]

Sting would be a stingscourger, I believe.

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

[troopatroop]

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.

[TrialByFire]

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

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.

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...
