I know the ruling in two headed giant for platinum angel is such that your team cannot lose and the opp team cannot win that's because you share everything in that format you're a combined individual rather then two players on the same team. I assume you're looking for some sort of team format in which if one team member loses the game the team loses the game. But alias i don't play many formats. There are plenty of win condition cards hell battle of witts is a Mega Cycle reprint of the Odyssey block. http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Alternate_win | ||

If I meet the criteria on a magic card such that it says I win the game, does that actually mean all opponents I can affect lose the game? In other words, in a format where I can not 'see' some opponents, I don't actually win over everybody else, right? Unless there is an overriding condition (such as you opponent controlling a Platinum Angel or you control an Abyssal Persecutor) then you win the game. In nearly all cases of Magic, you do what's written on the card (or do exactly what the Oracle text says). | ||

For example, I played with ~200 people at once in the Grand Melee @ GP Houston, we could only effect people to our left and right, so when one guy got Azor's Elocutors rolling, he'd kill 2 people per turn. | ||

Yeah, based on what the card says, it doesn't affect your opponents at all. You can win the game not just by making your opponents lose; you can just, win the game, lol. You can not only prevent the others from winning, you can simply take the win for yourself. If that makes sense. MoonBear's right in that you need to watch out for stuff like an opponent's Platinum Angel or if you're stuck with an Abyssal Persecutor, but the theory otherwise holds true. | ||

If you are playing a multiplayer game using the limited range of influence option, alternate win conditions just cause all opponents in your range of influence to lose the game. If you aren't using the limited range of influence option then you actually just win and everybody else loses. | ||

Junk Reanimator versus Jund. Brad Nelson managed to get outplayed by Reid Duke in the semifinals despite a pretty solid board and it was a good series of plays by Duke to corner Nelson. | ||

Then you look at the decks that lack green: UWR control/geist, Esper Control, RDW, R/x Aggro Grixis control, even Aristocrats and act 2 are almost gone. Look at the top 16 of any event lately, and it's hard to find more than any 2 of these anywhere in there. Even esper control has been gone for months until last weekend's resurgence of a couple decks. | ||

Like in the Nelson-Duke match up, it doesn't matter if Nelson had his answers to Olivia or not, you still play the Olivia if you are the Jund player on the turn you have 4 lands. There's a lot of situations like that in this standard. | ||

14: Rakdos Ringleader, Swamp My pick: Rakdos Ringleader Pack 3 pick 15: Plains My pick: Plains Here is my deck and sideboard: If you convert the draft file, convert it to image format, the text is really hard to follow. Otherwise just post the format of the original. Pack 1 your picks were pretty much okay. I wouldn't have taken any of the gatekeepers, I would've taken Cluestones or Deputy of Acquittals or something. You also took Riot Control (a totally unplayable card) over two decent white cards. Pack 2, pick 1, I guess you took Foundry as a money pick? You don't have any red cards, so the Spectacle is likely much better. Pick 2, Syndicate Enforcer is below average, it's a very expensive low impact creature. It's much worse than Angelic Edict, and at this point you're not committed to black. Pick 9, Debtor's Pulpit is actually fine so I would've taken that over a card you'll never play maindeck. Pack 3, pick 3, it was a huge mistake to not just slam Collective Blessing. You have only 2-3 good black cards, and your deck quality at this point is extremely low. Blessing is one of the best cards in the entire format and instantly makes your deck twice as good, and you already have a Tomb and 2 good green cards, plus an entire pack of Selesnya to go. The mana would be awkward, but it's better than what you ended up with. Also note grabbing those Cluestones in pack 1 would've put you in a better spot here. P3P4 easy Selesnya Sentry, Swift Justice is not a good card and you should always take a mediocre creature over a mediocre trick when you have so few threats. P3P5 wow, Drainpipe Vermin is a completely unplayable card and Knightly Valor is the best white common in RtR, so I'm not sure why you made that pick at all. P3P7, Ethereal Armor is not good, but better than Cremate. Overall: I don't think your choice to stick to white was bad, I think I would have taken the Gruul War Chant and ended up with some kind of gruul or naya deck, but again, it's a hard format to draft. The packs were weak for your colors and you ended up somewhere near where you were supposed to be, but you should've been open to taking the Cluestones/nonblack cards and after a pretty empty pack 2 for Orzhov, you would've been in a good spot to draft Selesnya or Azorious in pack 3. Your biggest mistake was passing Collective Blessing when you weren't too color committed. And again, stop playing 1-mana 1/1's. Even Catacomb Slug would be an improvement. | ||
