and also the Sphinx of Foresight, so come to think of it, Fires is dying after rotation unless they get a bunch of stuff that just neatly replaces every single thing it loses at rotation

#322

hey thatā€™s true
and also
as long as i donā€™t play against fires i have a pretty good winrate

#323

also people seem to hate this deck?
iā€™ve had people concede as soon as i had an engine
i guess itā€™s hard to respond to it because you can do lots of things in response to anything

#324

i have a bunch of decks that are actually competeitive and then a bunch of dumbass combo decks that just somehow win occasionally

thatā€™s fair
dumbass combo decks are fun

#326

btw vul have you had to deal with a Gyruda, Doom of Depths deck yet?

#327

that deck is both a dumbass combo deck and is actually competetive

#328

i once played against some weird mill deck
it ran the 6 mana ub companion i forgot the name of and used blink effects to have it mill a ton of cards
then it played thassaā€™s oracle and won the game

#329

yes thatā€™s the Gyruda deck
I have that deck
itā€™s legitimately super fucking good

#330

it also copied its gyruda somehow? i thought the legend rule didnā€™t let you have more than one of the same legendary card on the battlefield

#331

Yes, but Spark Doubles of legendary cards arenā€™t legendary.

#332

oh
okay

#333

i had no idea what was happening when i played against it

#334

I like Gyrdua Bant vs. Any other kind of Bant because most Bant decks run Agent of Treachery and Thassa, Deep-Dwelling as their top end and itā€™s incredibly funny to steal their combo pieces and then use them for your combo.

#335

this card
this card is what was happening to you

#336

i know but the guy had like six of these trigger every turn

#337

okay so hereā€™s the combo, right

  1. Cast Gyruda, mill 4 cards, pull out a Spark Double.
  2. Copy the Gyruda, mill 4 cards again, pull out a Thassa, Deep-Dwelling
  3. Thassa blinks a Gyruda, mill 4 cards yet again, Spark Double again
  4. fuck you more Gyruda stuff
  5. oh fuck he has a Luminous Broodmoth now
  6. oh fuck he blinked the Gyruda out of existence for an entire turn with Charming Prince

a few turns later you drop your Oracle and win the game

#338

you just constantly replicate and blink the Gyrudas and watch as your opponents cry

#339

if the best ramp spells in the format werenā€™t all even CMC it wouldnā€™t be as ludicrous as it is

#340

yeah that sounds like what happened
