He'd have to cast his whole combo on his turn, which admittedly isn't hard to pull off given the mana acceleration available to Green.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Actually Cid is in love with Innocent Blood and Evoking Shriekmaws so I'm wondering what would go off first, that combo or Cid killing off those creatures.

Removing Enchantments in Green? Unheard of!

Now let's see you cheat out an Asceticism and a Mirror Gallery to answer both of the other mentioned Melira combo-breakers.

Two legendary creatures on the field. The phantasm just has to resolve.

I run removal. I'm no fool.

"Oh, you're Melira, Sylvok Outcast? What a funny coincidence . . ."

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Actually, burn tends to screw that Combo over anyway, I just wanted to post something bit different than "Just set Melira on fire"

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Of course, failing that . . .

Turn 0 Combo Breaker, Persist and Undying creatures go straight into exile :3

Re: Magic: The Gathering

the more I playtest it... the more badass it feels.

So far I've run 30 tests and 26 of those tests have won on turn 4. I'm happy with the end result.

But what would you put in the rest of the deck?

I built it. Play me and see for yourself.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Eh I'm not a fan of 1/1 One-Drops in Multiplayer decks unless they actually do something useful like these guys:



Multiplayer games tend to last long enough to make mana curves a non-issue and Fast Aggrocentric decks tend to run out of steam and maybe take out one player before keeling over.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

Murderous Redcap, Kitchen Finks, Elvish Visionary, Baubles, Gitaxian Probe, Manamorphose, maybe some 1-drops and Birthing Pod.

R/G Combo isn't hard. I have a R/G Modern Aggro-Combo deck on Cockatrice myself, and you can bet the fire lit under your bum that the upcoming Burning-Tree Emissary is going in there as soon as Gatecrash hits.

Re: Magic: The Gathering

You know whats fun? Color wars.

5 players
Everyone builds a mono color deck of their decided color
Each player has 2 alli colors and 2 enemy colors based on the elemental wheel*
First person to defeat both their enemies wins

*Your allies are the 2 colors adjacent to yours on the wheel. The other 2 are your enemies.



Example: Red is allied Green and Black and needs to beat White and Blue to win.
Example 2: Blue is Allied with White and Green and needs to beat Red and Black.

The overlap is what makes it fun. Red and Blue are trying to kill one another even though both are allied with Green. In turn, Green won't help either one against the other.

Also:

also this delicious synergy between Melira, Sylvok Outcast and persist creatures that goes full on combo when you add a:

This combo scares me too. Mostly because it's dirt cheap and threatens a 3rd turn unlimited combo win in the right circumstances... or 4th turn in the worst.
