Since you can't Trade cards it's not a TCG at all, but a CCG.

There is always some kind of deck your deck is weak against. You just want to have good win% against most of the field. | ||

Modern and Standard are fine, but Casual, Legacy, and unlimited can be ridiculous. I got turn 0'd the other day. | ||

While I wait for the game, I'd like to watch someone play who already knows his way around and doesn't blunder around in matches so I can get a better idea about the game I'll recommend Crota. He's actually worked in the TCG industry so he knows what's up: https://www.youtube.com/user/BlizShouter?feature=watch Artosis is pretty good too, check his twicth. He's had experience with MTG in the protour. Avoid: Husky, Totalbiscuit. They're great casters but not so-great players. Lots of misplays. | ||

People argue that you "need" to pay to be able to win those tournaments, but some friends have done well and gotten prizes in some of those, through luck of the draw I'd say, but still possible. most of the testers right now are what you could called 'casual gamers' who has very little experience with CCG but WoW. I dont think hosting a tournament now would hold too much of a significant. But i sure hope they world on a replay feature, a spectating system and a tournament support. | ||

There are a number of them, and I don't have the cards in front of me, but I'll explain the gist of it. Many of the cards in the combo are banned. This particular deck has zero land cards. There is an artifact that you can play for 0 and sacrifice for 1 mana of any color. You play this card either on your turn or your opponent's upkeep- it doesn't matter. You then use this 1 mana to play other cards that generate mana and card draw in order to play a Balustrade spy- the combo works like this: 1) Use card draws and mana creators to play Balustrade Spy or Undercity Informer and mill your entire deck because you have no lands. (Target player discards cards until they hit a land- you target yourself and have no lands, so your entire deck is in your graveyard). 2) 4 Narcomoeba will come back to the battlefield as a result of the mill (they come into play when they hit a graveyard) and flashback Dread Return (flashback = can play from graveyard) by sacrificing three Narcomoebas (sac for mana). Target Angel of Glory's Rise (returns creatures from your graveyard) to get Azami, Lady of Scrolls and Laboratory Maniac into the battlefield from your graveyard, since you are completely milled. 3) Tap one of them and win. On turn one. 40% of the time. (Having Laboratory Maniac makes it so that if you're out of cards and have to draw, you WIN instead of LOSE. Both cards tap for card draw, ending the game). | ||

However, you can turn-0 with stuff like Simian Spirit guide (it's exile ability is a mana ability and therefore usable whenever) and manamorphose which is instant into whatever kind of kill combo you desire, so long as it is all instant speed (not many kill conditions are truly instant speed). It only counts as turn 0 if you are on the draw and win on your opponents turn. Otherwise it is turn 1. PS 40% goldfish on turn 1 is higher than I think belcher gets, and belcher is the most consistent turn 1 in legacy afaik. Vintage is absurd lol you could probably outstrip 40% there. | ||

Isn't this a turn 1 win instead of turn 0? You play this combo during your First turn, thereby making it Turn 1 for you. Turn 0 kill is when you kill your opponent on HIS first turn while he goes first. Since you haven't actually gotten a turn yet, that would make it Turn 0. | ||

Stupid as hell either way. You're essentially just flipping a coin to win or lose the game instantly- why not just do that and save the time and money? | ||
