the awesome dream turns thread

[Pastorofmuppets]

have you ever hit that roadblock of, "Whoah, that'd be facking AWESOME if I could use Lotus Cobra to make a 3rd turn Ultimatum!" Over the course of deck development? If so, list them here.
A few generic ones:
-Turn 1 Ad Nauseam
-Turn 1: Ancient Tomb, Painter's Servant, Turn 2: Tomb, Grindstone, GG
-Belcher Tomfoolery

And a few of my own:
-Turn 1: Tomb, Chrome Mox, Jitte, Kor Duelist, Turn 2: Equip Duelist (maybe StP a blocker) and swing into a free 4 counters on Jitte per turn, removing almost anything on the board and beating your opponent's face in for upwards of 18 life a turn, maybe Lightning Greaves somewhere in there

Actually, that's all I've got for now.

How does the new system work now, with the third test? Is 1850 high? It doesn't seem so. Is the third test worth less points than the others?

It's out of 2400 now, the essay adds 800 points to the 800 of English and 800 of math.

[THEchubbymuffin]

I've always wanted to do this with some sort of stax list.

T1: Tomb, Chalice at 1.
T2: Tomb, Chalice at 2.
T3: Tomb, Chalice at 3.

[wmagzoo7]

Mountain, Mana Clash = GG

Also, I always wanted to live the cream dream and go:

Leyline of the Void, Leyline of the Lifeforce, Leyline of the Meek, Leyline of Lightning

Turn1: Serra's Sanctum, Opalescence

[Parcher]

I've always wanted to do this with some sort of stax list.

T1: Tomb, Chalice at 1.
T2: Tomb, Chalice at 2.
T3: Tomb, Chalice at 3.

I've actually gone:

T1: Tomb, Chalice at 1.
T2: Tomb, Chalice at 2.
T3: City of Traitors, Trinisphere, Gathan Raiders. Against TES at The Mana Leak(tee-hee).

Does that count?

[cwt1220]

Ancient tomb, RFG 4 Simian Spirit Guides, Painter's Servant, Grindstone, activate. :tongue:

-Chris-

[TheBirdMan]

Also, I always wanted to live the cream dream and go:

Leyline of the Void, Leyline of the Lifeforce, Leyline of the Meek, Leyline of Lightning

Turn1: Serra's Sanctum, Opalescence


Rofl, I have never heard of this play before, it makes me want to build this.

[Brad Herbig]

One of my favorites:

Mountain, Rite of Flame, Rite of Flame, Rite of Flame, Seething Song, Seething Song, Dragonstorm.

[Otter]

Hand: Mountain, Swamp, Rite of Flame x3, Pyromancer Ascension and Dark Ritual, with Infernal Tutor on top to draw turn two

T1: Mountain, Rite of Flame, Pyromancer Ascension
T2: Draw Tutor, Rite of Flame (1 counter Ascension, 3R floating), Rite again (Ascension active so everything from now on is copied), Swamp, Dark Ritual, Infernal Tutor, first Infernal gets IGG and second gets a second IGG. From here it turns into a real clusterfuck. You go through four IGGs, each of them doubled, getting a bunch of Rituals back each time that cast for double. Then on the last IGG go Infernal for Banefire, cast it for a hundred or so with a copy.

I did actually build a deck that could do this, I figured Infernal Tutor and IGG would be a perfect way to abuse Pyromancer Ascension. Of course with normal draws it usually went off turn five or six, didn't have room to play any disruption, and was just all-around horrible. But when it did actually combo off, it was one hell of a crazy combo turn.

[Forbiddian]

Yeah, 1850 is really bad. It might even be below average for the people on this forum.


@ chalice on 1, 2, and 3: Your opponent smiles, plays out four mountains and double fireblasts you.

[PaRa]

Ancient Tomb, Lotus Petal, Show and Tell, Dream Halls, discard rdm, play Conflux, search for 20 cards(3x other conflux) play 3x Cruel Ultimatum + Bog. Hellkite

result: 20 dmg / opp sacs 3 creatures / opp discards 9 cards / you draw 9 cards and gain 15 life....

i like it...thanks Jonas...

Does anyone study for the SATs? I remember getting a 2 and three digits after it... though the ACT was the important one for my colleges.


I did chalice @1,2,3 with a 43 land deck on MWS. It wasn't that fun getting S:PLed though.

[tivadar]

I've actually gone:

T1: Chalice at 0, Ancient Tomb, Chalice at 1
T2: Island, Trinket Mage for Chalice
T3: Plains, Chalice at 2

This was in a game against TES when I was doing Wu Angel Stompy. I've got a picture of it on my phone somewhere. I think I got flipped the bird for that move... Sure, not the be-all end-all I suppose, but it was still pretty awesome.

[leander?]

Forest, Llanowar Elves.

That'd be rediculous. You'd have two, possibly even three mana on turn two.

[MEATROCKET]

In EDH, turn 1:
Island, Sol Ring, Mind Stone, Mana Vault. Stuuuupid turn 1 in EDH. Early in the game I Rite of Replicated with kicker my Tidespout Tyrant :laugh:

[klaus]

One of these days I will build a deck that goes a lil somfn like this:

16 Manamorphose
28 Simian Spirit Guide
16 Trickbind

Just so I can stifle turn 0.5 fetchlands :cool:

Edit:
I just did.
and trickbinded Picellis Chrome Mox, incognito... :)
He left after I returned my Spirit Guides and that Trickbind to my hand so I could Trickbind his Tendrils, too xD

[beastman]

I tendrilsed? gearhart for 30 with belcher the turn after he hymn to tourched me.

I want to keep a hand of seven spirit guides against storm, and have them duress me first turn, and then draw belcher and kill them.

[beastman]

Forest, Llanowar Elves.

That'd be rediculous. You'd have two, possibly even three mana on turn two.

Ban him , I beg you. He's like a dildo forced into a hairy ass.

[deadlock]

Going second with a hand of Gemstone Cavern + random card, a Elvish / Ape Spirit Guide, Flash, Summoners Pact / Hulk and two Pact of Negation.

Just to be met by 3 FoW..

[Pastorofmuppets]

Ban him , I beg you. He's like a dildo forced into a hairy ass.

[pointofinfo]

Me: Etched Oracle paying UBRG, leaving two Tundras and a Volcanic Island untapped. I will hopefully lucksack into a Swords to Plowshares off the draw to kill his lethal islandwalking Wake Thrasher.
Him: Daze the Oracle.
Me: Pay W. Sac the Oracle and draw 5 cards. 5th card is Swords.
Him: (Complaints abound)
Me, Judge: Five cards.

Playing during P.E. in 8th or 9th grade:
I draw a card, then play...
Swamp, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Hypnox. I didn't stack my deck, nor is this moment caught on video, but we were all very excited. Just imagine that Mike Long's Drain Life bluff, Craig Jones' topdecked Lightning Helix, and Nassif's called shot Cruel Ultimatum had a love child. That's how I felt in that moment. Believe in your dreams.

At the last Legacy tourney I was in, I was playing against ANT with my Ichorid build after sideboarding. He starts to go off on turn 3-4, but I have cast Nix on an early Lion's Eye Diamond. I have a few lands up and nothing to do with my empty hand. After taking ~5 minutes to play out the set-up, he casts Ill-Gotten Gains and gets back an L.E.D. and a Burning Wish for a lethal Tendrils of Agony. He plays out the calculations and then realizes that I have Nix. Nix wins the game as I counter his L.E.D. and his resources are too exhausted to win. Nix, the card I hunted for over the course of two months, won that game.

I will never get too old to remind people that there is in fact no Drain Life bluff. Mike Long had in facta Drain Life still in his library although it might have been better for Mark Justice to check, which he didn't. If you don't believe me watch the videos on youtube. Search for PT Paris Mike Long or something...

[oRen]

Ancient Tomb, Lotus Petal, Show and Tell, Dream Halls, discard rdm, play Conflux, search for 20 cards(3x other conflux) play 3x Cruel Ultimatum + Bog. Hellkite

result: 20 dmg / opp sacs 3 creatures / opp discards 9 cards / you draw 9 cards and gain 15 life....

i like it...thanks Jonas...

yes of cause ... all hail to the unknowing!!
"thanks Marc" would be correct ...

[electrolyze]

I like this one:

fetch, ritual, ritual, thoughtseize, thoughtseize, thoughtseize, tombstalker

[Digital Devil]

1-Swamp
2-Dark Ritual
3-Lotus Petal for :b:
4-Nefarious Lich
5-Autochton Wurm + Nourishing Shoal
6-Repeat step 5
7-Win

Now that would be awesome.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. Talking seriously, I always wanted to repeat my fourth turn kill with Angel Stompy:

Turn 1
-Ancient Tomb
-Chrome Mox
-Face-down Exalted Angel

Turn 2
-Plains, flip the Angel, swing for 4

Turn 3
-Plains, play Sword of Fire and Ice + Equip, 6+2 direct damage

Turn 4
-Win

I managed to do this against a mana screwed opponent, but then, it was my best game ever!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like this one:

fetch, ritual, ritual, thoughtseize, thoughtseize, thoughtseize, tombstalker
Some guy went against me with ===> fetch for Bayou, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Seize, Tourach, Tourach, and then played Swamp, Tombstalker during his second turn. I didn't find a land in time.

[Nonex]

My opponent started with Ancient Tomb + Chrome Mox ==> Priest of Gix, Priest of Gix, Trinisphere. I was playing Solidarity on the draw and didn't have FoW. I think I couldn't win.

[dahcmai]

I got to see Mox Diamond, Mox Diamond, Plains, Aura of Silence 1st turn once.

Doesn't seem all that impressive until you know it was against that stupid Trix deck.



I dumped Manabond, then played 3 more land from my hand with it, discarding 3 Roar of the Wurms on the draw once with 43 lands.


The best one I ever lucksacked was - Mulligan down to 2. Lotus, Wheel of fortune into a 1st turn win off Tendrils.

[vigilante]

Me: Etched Oracle paying UBRG, leaving two Tundras and a Volcanic Island untapped. I will hopefully lucksack into a Swords to Plowshares off the draw to kill his lethal islandwalking Wake Thrasher.
Him: Daze the Oracle.
Me: Pay W. Sac the Oracle and draw 5 cards. 5th card is Swords.
Him: (Complaints abound)
Me, Judge: Five cards.

I would have complained too.

1) Paying :w: to satisfy Daze's requirement will not add an extra counter to Etched Oracle. Daze doesn't cause you to spend that extra mana on the targetted spell cost/s....when you pay the extra :1: for Daze, you are spending it on Daze's effect, not on the Etched Oracle.

2) Etched Oracle specifies "Target player draw three cards", not "Target player draws cards equal to the number of +1/+1 counters on Etched Oracle". The effect doesn't care how big the Oracle was (which is kind of moot anyway because of the whole Daze/Sunburst not working issue).

[Aleksandr]

I already posted it, but w/e...:

Me: Forest, Tinder wall, go
Opp.: Forest
Me: Mountain, sac Wall, Balduvian Horde
Opp.: Swamp, Fertile Ground
Me: Mountain, Berserk, Fork, swing for 20.

Turn3 kill with causal aggro... hehe.

I had some funny win with FS against TES. I went to four G2, but managed to play fast Trinket->Chalice:0, later I got SoLS and it was gg.

[Filth]

T1: Swamp, Thoughtseize
T2: Cabal Therapy targeting myself, discard 2-4 Bloodghasts

From there I could play a land (preferrably Wasteland for more disruption) to return the 'Ghasts, then flashback the Therapy if I feel like it. This is in MBA or Eva Green, but I'm sure Dredge could do something like this too.

Really, Cabal Therapy is great with Bloodghast. :tongue: Not only because you can make yourself discard the Ghasts, but also because the flashback cost of Therapy is negligible if you can drop a land or crack a fetch after that. Both cards are also decent targets for Entomb - a card I'm trying to play (as a 2-of) in my Eva Green build just because I can.

[Bryant Cook]

While this may not be my my Legacy dream turn, it's my EDH dream turn AND IT HAPPENED! Ever since I built Godo, Bandit Warlord all I've wanted to do is get to use Chandra Ablaze's final. It never happened until...

I'm playing a 5 person game, an enchantress player plays Enchanted Evening and Opalescence. The three others scoop, I don't. I played Chandra Ablaze the turn before, had Godo and a FTK as blockers, Godo has a Sword of Fire/Ice on him, Mind's eye, Gilded Lotus, and Thran Dynamo in play. I have Sol Ring and Mana Crypt in hand. I draw Dragon Storm, discard it to Chandra.

Enchantress thinks about swinging, then doesn't in fear of dying to Godo and General damage.

I use Chandra's ultimate ability, flashing back Pillage, Incendiary Command (Clasming and Drawing), Spire Barage, Spitting Earth. I then play Sol Ring and Mana Crypt. Cast dragonstorm, put 6 dragons into play (Changeling Beserker, Taurelean Mauler, Fire Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Bogardan Hellkite, and Rakdos Pit Dragon.) Fire Dragon and the damage from Command wipe his board clean, drop the rest as beaters. Swing for lethal the next turn.

I jumped out of my seat I was so happy.

<3 Dragonstorm.

Minor quibble: the SoFI is a[n enchantment] creature, and would fall off of Godo. Opalescence doesn't affect auras, but equipment aren't auras.

Otherwise, awesome!

[yadda]

Forest, Llanowar Elves.

That'd be rediculous. You'd have two, possibly even three mana on turn two.

One of the earliest lessons i learned in magic was bolt the T1 elf. Every fucking time.

[Whit3 Ghost]

My friend Nick and I were joking about running About Face in Tribe-Ichorid on the drive home from Vestal. If there was ever a situation where you could shave 4 cards from that deck, it would be sick to kill on turn two with it.

A friend of mine won in a similar way one game in a tournament setting...

opponent: Forest -> BoP
friend: City -> Tribe

friend: tap Tribe. No blocks? Throw away hand into Tribe, thx 4 game. XD

[erg-19]

Playing my enchantress against dream halls. I beat him pretty handily game 1. Game 2 plays out like this...
He plays first
Leads out with Ancient Tomb, Chrome Mox imprinting Show and Tell
Plays Show and Tell
He puts Progenitus into play, I play Ground Seal(Only because my hand was 2 lands, Seal, Wild Growth, Utopia Sprawl, Elephant Grass, Replensish)
Ends
My turn
I play Forest
Play Elephant Grass
He says "lol"
<Player Lost>

Gotta love it

[Bigface]

Happened to a guy I know in a T2 tournament. He played mono-U Mill deck.

Opponent: Starts game 1, Verdant Catacomb, fetch, ok?
Guy: Ok.
Opponent: Get Forest, tap, play Noble Hierarch, pass.
Guy: EOT, 4x Archive Trap.
Opponent: :eek:

[Pastorofmuppets]

Turn 1 vs. Thresh: Swamp, Encroach taking their only land
Their turn 1: don't draw a land

awesome.

[malden]

Best T1 I have had was as follows in a 5 man casual game:

Badlands, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, use all 9 mana for Megrim, Teferi's Puzzle Box, Chains of Mephistopheles (go ahead look it up)

On my turn 2 everyone only had 1 card in hand and had taken 16 damage.....and I still lost the game.

[Aleksandr]

I just remebered one of my clasics... Maybe I already posted it, but who cares...

I play Faerie Stompy against UGb Thresh. We sideboarded already.

My turn 1: Island, Pithing Needle, "OK?"
Him: Thinking... Ok.
Me: Polluted Delta
Him: WTF?
Crowd: Awesome! Lawls!

After he lost that game he told me that he started with double Delta as his only lands... :-)

[Julian23]

Happened to me some time ago:


Him: Kavu Predator
Me: nothing
Him: False Cure, a lot of lifegain, Predator attacks at 20/20
Me: Swords to Plowshares it, make him lose 20 life!

So great because he never saw it coming :D Somehow felt like Solidarity, winning during your opponent's attackstep.

[xTrainx]

Happened while I was playing my brother.

Me: Crumbling Necropolis(Poor Man's Dual), go.
Him: Island, Brainstorm go.
Me: Island, Ponder, go.
Him: Terramorphic Expanse(Poor Man's fetch), go.
Me: Swamp, Ritual Ritual Ritual, Nicol Bolas.
Him: Daze.
Me: Daze.
Him: *Stands up, walks away*

[Digital Devil]

I don't know if this counts as a dream turn since it really happened. Playing against ANT with Dragon Stompy, g3, I'm on the play. I mull down to 4 cards. Ancient Tomb, Chrome Mox, Trinisphere, Rakdos Pit Dragon. First turn, I empty my hand by playing 3sphere. Next turn, I topdeck Magus. My opponent scoops. A friend of mine reminded me of this, since last sunday he went berserk because of triple Thorn of Amethyst + Ethersworn Canonist. He then topdecked Hurkyl's Recall, and... =(

[Odysseus]

hey, can anyone who speaks the OPs native language retranslate the title. at first glance it looks like someone just shit words everywhere. but after reading a couple posts, Im guessing there should be a comma somewhere. or maybe it should have a few letters/words removed.
