Yeah I think far too many people are viewing alteration as just a combo piece, it's definitely a good way to end the game but in the early game they should be used for control

it's an enchantment without flash, so they would've been screwed if the opponent was popping off

@@percyvile Yeah - it's not even that powerful combo with this particular combo - just a two mana removal - and not really better than what black has anyway... But definitely not useless without the combo.. One should probably have small creatures and powerful creatures with it .. say Spirited Companion and Leonin Warleader - so you can turn opponents creatures to weenies or your weenies to winners... If you happen to have a body without summoning sickness you can get a good creature that can attack immediately with it as long as there's a good one on the table... Could be great with There and Back Again" .. Smaug is legendary so you lose the original Smaug (if it's yours) - but get 14 treasure tokens... :O (Or do you? I'm not 100% sure if being put into graveyard due to the legend rule count as dying...)

​@@Jawzah Dying is defined in the rules as being put into a graveyard from the battlefield, so the legend rule does count as dying

@@danl9030 Cool - Double Smaug is go... Dunno if it's competitive though 5 mana saga that takes time to take full effect and all..

From what I’ve seen most lists run at least one, just cause it’s so good to be able to have a removal spell and a counter spell stapled on the same card.

It good magic card

Grixis is a lifestyle

@@0Whitelottus0it’s not just a deck archetype, it’s a mindset. In this case, it’s also the archetype

and bonecrusher... who was in 70% of the meta

And Corpse Appraiser.

Makes me glad I got my playset of Metamorphic Alteration for just 35 cents each when I first learned of this combo.

Probably just playing around instant speed removal since opp had mana up

Nevermind, I never realized you could tap Mutivault to activate itself, and then that allows double Fatal Pushes to get rid of the opponents Alteration Dross before his upkeep.

The explorer version can't run dig though time and loses a lot of consistency, likewise people are holding alterations that they could be using for removal/damage

Cringe is his lifestyle. 😎

Because he’s a good entertainer. He’s an excellent host, and his decks are more competitive than Seth’s, which opens the channel up to a wider audience. Congrats on being both an idiot AND an asshole

I glad I could see that combo in action. What are you talking about?

he's the first person to play it on KZfaq

Crim is entertaining and does a lot of the psudo-meta content, Seth does the kooky brews

Awww poor baby doesn't have his own channel 😢 boohoo
