@RokaiMusic Жыл бұрын

In rare cases, it makes sense to cast instant speed removals at sorcery speed. Of course not in this situation, but when you play against control decks, it's better to cast them on your turn if the opponent is tapped out, rather than wait for the end of their next turn hoping they tap out again.

@darrkhunter96 Жыл бұрын

@@RokaiMusic But what's the point in not casting them on sorcery? It's not like you can hide any information, nor your opponent can surprise you with anything

@nitramreniar Жыл бұрын

@@darrkhunter96 first of all I'm pretty sure the other commenter was talking about a real game of magic and not this joke format, but you seem to be talking about it for this format and casting the bolt at sorcery speed literally lost Carl that game on the following turn... If he just waited until Thoralf's combat phase to bolt the monkey Thoralf would never have been able to get an attack in.

just wait until ragavan is declared as an attacker and bolt him. that way he never hits you. then eventually you hit a second Land. that's what I thought.

@TheBBbandit Жыл бұрын

Eh if you do the math, if ur using every bolt on removing a ragavan, it only takes one lopsided draw for a ragavan to get through when you don't have a bolt and a bolt to get stolen out of your deck. You would need to draw just as many lightning bolts as the opponent does ragavans

Simultaneously a profoundly dumb and extremely entertaining format! Awesome video! Reminds me, a little bit, of 3-Card Blind Magic. Mostly because it's also a format where you know who is going to win based on what their deck is and it often comes down to cards being used in weird or multiple ways. Might be worth checking out in the future!

Would happily watch more of these matchups, maybe see if you can do the same with two-card decks too (Thoracle+Treasure Hunt versus Helm+Leyline?). I would happily watch you playing something ridiculous like Paper Alchemy with a bunch of proxies and some of the most awkward gameplay possible as you have to count how many turns have passed in the game and find a way to “perpetually” modify cards.
