That means, we only need 1 more damage (assuming Nova plays a land). Worst case scenario: we can death spark Xfire for 1 at the beginning of next upkeep (this turn pumping rootwalla will do more).

Yes, this is accurate.

Okay. Just wanted to know. I don't know how your deck was supposed to work, but I am going to guess that at the moment it just isn't working?

I am honestly more worried about Aperture. He knew he'd have to discard, yet claims it was random (despite having 24 hours, and prior knowledge that he'd have 24 hours, to discard). All his antics about certain decks being ticking timebombs just waiting for the right combo pieces, seem to refer to his own deck. Additionally, both iGrok and Greymist know too much about MTG to make a combo deck that is completely defenseless until they throw down their combo. The whole thing smells of funk, especially when we already suspect him of being scum.

iGrok: would I find stuff that could help us kill Xfire if I looked at your hand right now?

You would indeed, but in order to use it I need someone else to cast a instant or sorcery that does damage.

Uh, I'll get back to you this evening. I've managed to talk to s&b on skype the last two evenings. I don't know what all the cards mean, and the annotations s&b gave me are unsurprisingly at home on skype too :p

We just assumed that he drew it with Minds Aglow. However, we agree that a Bear deck that can't do anything with 2 mana is a bit surprising: almost all bears are 1G for a 2/2 vanilla creature. Not much point in going there, though, because presumably scum would also want to play their deck optimally.

With all of Cross's lands and 1 creature tapped, all we need to do is just attack him with 2 creatures with over 1 power and we have our 1 damage. With all his lands tapped there is virtually nothing he can do to prevent this from occurring.

Or is your damage calculation also taking into account the attack phase and his goblin?


The math is a few pages back:

Rock can sac a walker to kill the gobbo. That leaves no blockers
Rock attacks with a walker and does 2 damage with a Ninja.

Acro attacks with everything and pumps Rootwalla: 11 damage.

Prom attacks with his 1/1 and casts 3 Chain Lightnings: 10 damage.

Ap: forks a Chain Lightning: 3 damage.

Total: 26.

We miss 1 damage. If Nova, Stutters and Suck together cannot find a way to do 1 damage I will be very disappointed.

K, Problem solved. You can cast fertile ground on Nova's forest, pick a colour nova doesn't run if you think he's scum. That way he can make his TF an ape and attack for 3 damage.

Xfire is dead. Yay. Wait for Stutters, coz there might be a more efficient way if stutters can just pump a random creature, but at least we know it's doable now.

Does that mean I can and should be casting something? If so, can someone tell me what I need to write. I totes want to actually play a card, that would be amazing.


Plenty of time. We can wait for stutters to report in, and maybe SnB had some grand scheme and this would completely screw your deck over for the rest of the game (rather unlikely, but needs to be take into account). But I'm sure if you ask your fellow head nicely he'll allow you to cast something :D

So if I understand it all correctly, Stutters, you have no way of adding to the damage this turn? Also, you know you're allowed to search for 2 basic lands (tapped, but it might allow your deck to actually do something at some point)?

Also, why did you discard at random? :S

Anyway, if Stutters can't contribute to the KP, then I think it's best he does whatever he feels will be the best for town.

Our only option for killing Xfire is then that Suck enchants Nova's land, so he can turn his Treetop Village into a creature. That puts us at 29 damage, which should be enough to kill him. Just have to wait for SnB to say that it is not completely gimping them.

We just have to hope he doesn't have some kind of Phyrexian Mana spell that can fuck us up. I looked through the cards I could find and didn't find a Fog for Phyrexian Mana, so I hope there isn't anything like that. I found something else nasty, but there's nothing we can do about it anyway if he happens to both have it, and cast it.

Gonzethelax, you can't be last, as aperture needs to copy your spell.

So you need to cast them before.

Don't wait too long, don't want any "herpderp we were afk and didn't have time" BS. No need to rush either, though.


Yes that is pretty much what we are waiting for.


Read through nova's gy, it's pretty apparant what kind of deck he is running.

Not going to even defend yourself against my accusation, scum? I see how it is.

The best defense is a good offense. I hope you had a good breakfast, coz damn, my zombies are hungry.

I will wait until Aperture is here in the thread before casting Chain Lightning x3.
As in, he should post "I am here, I'm ready to cast that thingy", and as soon as he posts that, I cast CL.

There's no way he can AFK after that. I won't AFK either, unless an alien abducts me or some shit

So, I didn't understand the Suck thing with Nova's card shit, can someone explain how ALL damage on Xfire will be dealt?

/G

Suck puts a mana enchant on nova's forest.
Nova has 2 mana to convert his Treetop village into a 3/3 trample sexy beast.
Nova attacks with it.
Crossfire dies the horrible and painful death he deserves.

Paying mana is a cost, if he doubles it after the mana is paid it would double the effect without having to pay twice the mana


Hrmmm, fairly certain you're wrong (although I don't really want to shit up the thread with this). Here's the relevant ruling on Fork:


If mana or other costs need to be spent at resolution of the spell, the player of Fork would still be responsible for paying that cost.

My understanding is that Minds Aglow has to resolve before the Join Forces triggers, making it happen at resolution. If, for instance, Minds Aglow were countered, people would not have to choose how much to contribute. It doesn't have "as an additional cost to cast Minds Aglow do blablabla", the subsequent mana contribution is part of the resolution, not the casting. Hence this wouldn't work.

Oh, one thing we thought of is that if we are 2 over the damage, we will do 1 less damage in order to develop our deck a bit better.
