For flavor or fun, what are some of your favorite MTG cards you can't use outside of casual games?
I'm sure there are ways to abuse it, but I don't care, this card is a blast.

not as casual garbage as you think
this and bounce/flicker effects
>>45040926
ate my image
>March of the Machines
>Liquimetal Coating
>every turn you can destroy an enemy's land, even more if you have a source of untaps
Just a shitty little mechanism nobody would ever really bother with thanks to cost.
>>45040926 >>45040961
That's a competitive, Spike oreiented, tournament viable pauper deck.
It's called AzoriousKitty (or sometimes Acid Trip).
...admittedly, Reality Acid is the *weakest* bounce target in the deck, but still.

>>45042967
mines not pauper but I can easily take some ideas from it. Thanks
>>45043049
It's not quite what you're looking for, but there's a similar deck called BorosKitty that tries to recur pic related.
(http://magicgatheringstrat.com/2014/06/boros-kitty-a-primer-in-two-parts/)
Also, have another AzoriousKitty decklist.

hivemind into a doomsday is the funniest shit. that look of dawning realization on faces is priceless
>>45043542
You forgot to mention the Tome Scour.
>>45040771
I really want to hivemind a fuckton of useless pacts at the end of my turn.
causal 5 color control
>20 life swing with 5 land in play
>>45044821
The 5-color Apocalypse precon was the first Magic product I bought. I think the other rare was a Penumbra Wurm.
The first deck I ever put a lot of thought into was an Stasis lockdown deck. You needed to get out 9 lands then combo out using Early Harvest/Mischievous Quanar to make infinite mana and kill everyone with a Goblin Cannon.
I only used it for a couple games because my playgroup was still very casual and it was by far the most powerful deck any of us had ever made. I felt bad that no one had fun playing against (obviously, it was a Stasis deck) but it felt good to have a plan come together and actually work.
>>45044821
I once drafted Last Strand in a chaos draft with Unexpected Potential. Did not end up playing it though, I just splashed a real bomb and won the draft.
>>45040662
Freaking champion of stray souls.
It would be usable as a commander, but it isn't legendary!
I still keep 1 in my casual modern skeleton tribal deck for flavor and as way of preventing loss by mill.
>>45040771
Card is ACTUALLY modern playable, and fringe legacy playable. (was a deck years ago, probably not anymore) The pacts break it.
>>45044821
>causal 5 color control
>not 6 color control
catch up with times, gramps
Paradigm shift, ancestral knowledge, for laboratory maniac
>>45050418
Sorry high tide, ischrons scepter, stronic resonator, credit voucher, reminisce, retraced image, mitotic manipulation, riddlekeeper, fatespinner, paradox haze, whirlpool warrior, whirlpool rider, chasm stalker, jaces erasure, hedron crab. Thats what I got
Wheel of sun and moon
>>45041321
March of the Machines + Mycosynth Lattice = lockdown for non-artifact decks
Post picture combos.
>>45052020
Rest of the image was for a modern decklist idea, but Spreading Algae + Urborg is my favourite dumb combo
>>45052020
>>45052020
Also Chasm Skulker, Waste Not
>>45052277
Sounds like fun. The kind of deck I'd build.
>>45052020
One of the best feelings you can experience as a Magic player is pulling this combo off in a big multiplayer game.
You can only really do it once with any given playgroup, because you will get focused to shit if you ever try to play that deck again.
I still think this one is potentially modern-viable.
>>45052362
I love multiplayer
So many people don't quite understand subtly, or maneuvering
Some get super pissed their obvious blatant broken combo gets focused faster than they can ever assemble it
The punch line is I still win every multiplayer, but I don't get focused
He's shit, but i love my mirage legends
Does anyone have that one combo that draws the game by forcing a card itself to make a decision? I swore I saved it but it's just gone.
>>45052277
I feel like you'd try and pull this off and just wind up discarding Dream Salvage. That would be lame.
>>45052566
Triple Oblivion Ring?
I don't know how casual it is, but it's a go-to way for Mikaeus EDH to win.
>>45052566
Goblin Test Pilot may be the card you are thinking of, but I dont recall any sort of combo that isnt the retarded Oblivion Ring the Goblin, then Worldfire.
I'll make it work one day
>>45052397
I dunno. That seems like a pretty easy to disrupt combo.
I do like it though. And with twin now gone, why not try making it anon? The meta of modern right now is all aggro.
Anyone have the one combo that completely wipes your own board? Used to show up in filename threads as "Do what you will, I have already won"
OooOOoo spoopy ghosts gonna drag you to the baAAasemeeeeent
My personal favourite is Labratory Maniac, Tormod's Crypt targeting yourself, then Inverter of Truth.
>>45052646
But how does it work? With Mikaeus on the table, Triskelion is 2/2 without the counters. I don't get it.
>>45052724
[chain rattling intensifies]
>>45052621
That is exactly what happened a lot of the time.
Fortunately, you can also draw into dream salvage, so it works out
>>45052739
One counter goes to hurting something, two counters used to kill itself. Mikaeus resurrects it, wash rinse repeat.
>>45052739
Remove the last counter to hit triskellion, he comes back, repeat
>>45052700
You just need Ghoulcaller's Bell or some other free way to trigger the loop after activating the top ability of the Guildmage.
The reason I think it can work is because I've managed to win with it, but you need maindecked Spellskites.
>>45052739
okay so Triskellion comes in as a 1/1 with 3 +1/+1 counters on him. With Mikaeus on the field he is a 2/2 with 3 +1/+1 counters on him.
Trisks ability removes one +1/+1 counter. So you wanna Use trisks ability on whatever you want once, then on itself twice. This effectively deals 1 damage to anything, and thenn kills itself.
Because Mikaeus gives undying, it comes back onto the field with and extra +1/+1 counter on it. So as it renenters it is a 2/2 with 4 +1/+1 counters on it. You can now hit something with Trisks ability twice, and itself twice. You've done 2 damage to something, and it dies, and undying triggers.
Now repeat.
>>45052714
off the top of my head, it's Swamp, Tormod's Crypt, Dark ritual into Kaervek's Spite, sac the Crypt in response, and end up with nothing in hand, yard, or on the field. I forget how but you can also nuke your library
>>45052846
Try some form of Lantern Control with it. Or not. Probably not. Lantern Control really needs to stick to it's main plan.
Whats the earliest turn you can win on? 4? T1, Bell/Codex Shredder - T2, Mindcrank/Mage - T3, The other piece - T4, Activate ability and go off?
>>45052566
Floral Spuzzem does not work the way you think it does.
>inb4 "but it says on the card!" autism
>>45052815
Oh, okay. Thanks. I'm dumb.
>>45052714
>>45052962
Swamp, Dark Rit, Dark Rit, Dark Rit, Leveler, Tormod's Crypt, sac Crypt, Kaervek's spite in response.
>>45053051
No problem. Here is my favorite wincon in Mikaeus decks.
>>45053157
:^)
>>45052982
I'm not seeing how this is supposed to work that would make it work any differently from the oracle text.
>>45053190
It's just a strange wording that's inconsistent with the new way they word those abilities
It's weird that your magic card would be the one "choosing" to do or not do something
>>45052982
It's been a long time. For some reason I thought it was a combo and not a misunderstanding, so I didn't bother to say I knew it'd be fixed with errata. Thanks anyway.
>>45053157
>>45053291
Oh shit, that's right!
Man now I wanna play an un-draft. We need a new series of un-cards; the previous expansions are getting expensive.
>>45040662
Living Plane with Goblin Sharpshooter. Fun times!
>>45052962
Demonic consultation, tainted pact
Is there any official/unofficial android apps to do mock draws and turns?
I use mtg cards info and thats good for deck building and prices but im looking for something to test deck synergy.
>>45053157

>Get me a cocktail I just invented: One part cards you own, whole. One part turpentine :^)
>>45052020
>>45055281
You're missing the fun part about the errata.
Bring a water bottle
play coupon, recur coupon with whatever combo you want
force your opponent to play fetch
>>45052020
I like this one but it's pretty clunky.
>>45049608
>6 colour
>colourless
Try again.
>>45055281
Saw someone mention this combo a short while ago
>play Ashnod's Coupon
>opponent leaves to get the drink
>proceed to empty box of Cheatyfaces onto the battlefield
>>45057451
can't put em in from outside the game
I don't want to ruin anyone's fun, but I feel obliged to point out one thing. This card has one ability. It allows players who have Cheatyface in their hand to get it into play without paying for it (assuming they don't get caught). This wasn't as clearly explained on the card as it should have been. This card does not let you do anything else other than the one ability written above.
official ruling from Maro
>>45057529
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
On the other hand, if you're playing Unhinged/Unglued, who really gives a fuck about what MaRo has to say?
>>45057592
I believe hes the official rules manager for silver bordered cards, he's quite proud of that title. I wonder if they will ever let him make the 3rd un set.
>>45057133
>Ashnod's Coupon + R&D Lair
>Buy a water bottle
>Use coupon to force somebody else to buy the drink from you for however much they have
>>45057529
Aaw.
Would it at least be up for debate if you did it with an R&D's Secret Lair out?
Any ideas on how to reuse un-cards after drafts? I kinda like the idea of slowly buying one of each card, mixing them all together, randomly assigning equal amounts face-down to each player in a casual game, and then letting them choose how many to put in their deck before returning the rest. Then after the game all used un-cards are returned.
Are there any flaws with that idea? I already own a decent amount and just want to bring them out as a rare treat from time to time with friends but we can never agree on how to incorporate them.
>>45061016
Put em in a cube. My peasant cube runs Booster Tutor and it's a blast. Who/What/When/Where/Why is a perennial favorite in cubes with rares.
>>45061220
I had no idea that was a thing. Thanks!
>>45057793
You mean Unprinted?
Not likely, no.
>>45057529
>R&D's Secret Lair
>Play cards as written. Ignore all errata.
I'll do it and then tap for one anus mana anon. You knew the risks when you chose to play unhinged/unglued with assholes like me. Thanks for the drink btw. :^)I'm so lonely anon. You're my only friend I have left pls don't leave me. :'^(
>>45065535
Everybody dies alone. Better get used to it.
