Honestly I think it would have been a fine card if it worked the way it was intended to (i.e. worded so that you can't untap the same land twice). I even wonder if the judge ruling could have gone differently. This... seems a bit like cheating.
@researchinbreeder4 жыл бұрын
@@sarahmiller4980 The wording on the card is clear if you're deeply familiar with game terminology, and any competent judge would rule it the same way. It's a triggered ability, and not a replacement effect. If the card said "that permanent enters the battlefield untapped *instead* ", that would make it a replacement effect, and prevent all of these shenanigans.

Just a PSA, the way you stack the amulet triggers with the slayer's stronghold and boros garrison does matter, there is a bug in modo that does not allow you to stack them and can lead to game losses. The most important thing, if you're playing in paper is that you don't both slayer stronghold's triggers last (which would make them resolve first) because that way you would not be able to activate its ability twice. Happy titaning everyone!! :)

Technically Modern because I did it in Zendikar block (Worldwake) and haven't really updated the deck but maybe I will. The combo is a bit more involved upfront at five(six) cards: Amulet of Vigor in a White-Blue deck in combination with Ruin Ghost (1W, Creature - Spirit, 1/1, W, T: Exile target land you control, then return it to the battlefield under your control.), Tideforce Elemental (2U, Creature - Elemental, 2/1, U, Tap: You may tap or untap another target creature. Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, you may untap Tideforce Elemental.), good ol Hedron Crab (U, Creature - Crab , 0/2, Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, target player puts the top three cards of their library into their graveyard.) and then any of the various W/U lands that enter tapped. Two Amulet's, one of each creature with the two tappers not sick and you have "infinite" mill. I just love me some jank combos.

My favorite Modern deck is not the best, but is fun to confuse people with. It is Bant Ally Mill with a sideboard for overpowering the opponent (if you don't want to run mill for whatever reason). I haven't even built the full thing, but it runs like this: Turn 1 drop a land, drop Hada Freeblade, turn 2, make sure you have at least one forest out, drop harabaz, turn 3, drop any land, summon a second harabaz druid with the land, stop there, turn 4, drop a halimar excavator (opponent has to mill 4), use rite of replication kicked by tapping both harabaz's (8 mana, blue) and your last land, target halimar, opponent has to mill 270 extra cards (9*6*5 = 270). Might sound slow or easy to counter, it is, that's why there is the backup of just ally assault for ping damage, you can even go the extra mile of just not summoning Hada and summon Halimar on turn 3 instead, and you avoid using blue lands if possible. For this deck the optimal start is, go first and have in hand: Forest, Forest/Plains (either works), Harabaz, Harabaz, Halimar, Rite of Replication, Forest/Plains or Hada. That's all you need, though getting the land on draw of turn 2 and a Hada in hand is best for just speeding this deck up the most.

I built a landfall like deck that could win consistently on the second turn. It would produce infinite combo of lands coming into play it would have infinite mana and everything else that you would ever need or want. You could play Lands from your hand, deck, or graveyard with just the standard parts of the deck. With just one more enchantment you could also do the combo with Lands that were exiled. If you have any of the newer cards that allow you to play Lands for the graveyard or allow you to pay mana to play the Lands you can do the combo without fastbond. The deck is built with the intention to play an infinite number of Lands and win via abilities that trigger from you putting them into play.

I keep hearing from multiple sources that this combo is not deterministic falling in the same camp as Four-Horsemen making it not tournament viable, while others argue that it will always end in the same outcome regardless. The jargon that gets used when discussing this combo is too much to comprehend all at once and I need a video like this to clearly explain it for me and my play group to better understand how it works from both a card ruling and tournament ruling standpoint. The deck is scary fast and consistent and I think you'd be perfect for covering it!
