If you're going to go for the infinite combo (not that it's necessarily a good idea), Brood Monitor and even Emrakul's Hatcher seem better than Rasputin Dreamweaver just because they're Eldrazi.

The player who controlled Lili when it died controls the trigger, so they follow the instructions. They exile Lili, then return her transformed under her owner's control. Then they put a Zombie onto...

Is the description in question "I cast PoI a bunch of times and then my deck is sorted"? Because that doesn't fully describe a sequence of actions at all. Even if the player describes the algorithm...

Don't forget (3) I don't think my opponent actually knows how to execute the combo.

Not really. You can shortcut Frenetic Efreet by knowing that all the activations beyond the first to resolve will do nothing, just like activating Ghost Town a million times. If a Karplusan Minotaur...

"The 205,379th iteration" is a place in the loop. Do you disagree with this statement? That would be a pretty tortured reading of the rules.

That sounds nice, but how would one describe a...

In both cases, if Alice has completely described the sequence of actions and the final state, then Bob should be able to backsolve for any intermediate state.* And in any case, he is certainly...

Bob really wants to cast Archive Trap when the top 13 cards of Alice's library include all her Wishes and no Emrakuls. (Suppose he has an answer to Emrakul.) Is there such a point in the loop, and...

If it's not codified in a rule, doesn't that mean that you are allowed (and some judges just like to pretend you aren't)?

Thanks! I figured out how to do it without an extra targeting spell by being a little more careful with the numbers, so no more Riding Red Hare.

Scion of the Ur-Dragon under Rest in Peace does not use last known information. It just looks at the card wherever it went, since it doesn't say "the card that was put into your graveyard" or...

I disagree with cdr's interpretation.

On Lili, I believe the cost is "exile Liliana, Heretical Healer, then return her to the battlefield transformed under her owner's control." That would mean...

I'm pretty sure you actually do get a Zombie. The relevant rule should be:


Exiling and returning Lili is, counterintuitively, a mandatory cost for the effect of making a Zombie. You started to...

Come on, don't give up that easily. We just need the opponent to control all the spells and triggers involved, and then we won't be the ones executing a loop at all. If anything, our opponent would...

I can't really generate GG consistently pre-AN.


With Land's Edge, I have to worry about my opponent throwing their land and me, though they'll probably have no more than 3, so I'd just have to...

Recall wouldn't really be useful post-combo, as my mana is typically fairly limited after casting Nauseam, and I only need to cast 1-2 spells to win. It's also worse than Recollect pre-combo, as is...

The Vault definitely looks good. The life loss will restrict how much I dig somewhat, but it should be able to find a tutor often enough. My worry with Muddle is that 1UU is not easy to get when I'm...

I've been playing around with a simple Ad Nauseam combo deck. The gameplan is very straightforward - tutor for Ad Nauseam, play it, and win with Sickening Dreams, Conflagrate, or Seismic Assault....

lebarion: I see you're not running maindeck Viridian Zealot or Wirewood Symbiote. I wouldn't feel comfortable without some maindeck artifact/enchantment kill. How has that been working? I like...

Fossil Find is another one of those things called "spells" that have a curious tendency to end up on top of your graveyard after they resolve.

That only means that they will likely release a purple mox and 5 purple/x dual lands in AR. Kuma knows his sources, I wouldn't doubt it.

I like Burning Wish -> Spiraling Embers as a kill, with Temporal Cascade and (optionally) Plagiarize to get your hand size up. You probably want Defense Grid if you aren't playing Plagiarize.
I'm...

I've used Lackey, since I have a mac (pre-Intel) and a PC. Compared to MWS, it sucks. Compared to the other programs available for a mac (specifically, none), it is great for deckbuilding and...

That does not seem to match up with the quoted rules:
You can choose any time before you see your hand (including before boarding), and once you decide, the rules do not mention any opportunity to...

AngryTroll, don't you think 5 Bayou is a little much in your build?
ATS and RGSA used to be such different decks; it's interesting to see how much they have converged, with RGBSA and EATS.
