Back when I was still newer to magic with more money than I needed at the time I built a 5 color sliver deck as my second ever deck with Morophon the boundless as the commander, people would ask me what color and looked at me funny when I said all of them. 😂😂😂
A kid I used to play with would constantly stack his deck, and then complain or refuse to play if you tried to cut his deck. I'd laugh at this fool cause I'd still put up a good game. I hate cheaters or people who try sneaky crap.
Had someone in a pod roll his eyes and complain for almost TWO MINUTES cause i was playing ghyrson starn as my commander. He then put tergrid down and was promtly told to "fuck off" by the other two in the pod lol. Loved it and wish i could relive that moment just to see him get up and leave all pissy.
@@dustinjackson8270 and that totally fine with an accepting playgroup that all agree. Now if you walk into a random gamestore for commander night and start dropping mana crypts and lotus and God forbid that guy that uses shit like Gaea's cradle against random people
@@brettvandermeer5297 how can you not agree to let people use the cards they want? So, if you counterspell something I can just go "nah mate, didn't happen, I don't like counterspells" 😂
@@jacket2848 are you just being dumb or? Expensive cards that's only purpose in your deck is to stream line the deck to a cEDH direction, them yea. If you want to be the piece of ahit using a $5000 deck against randoms, go be that dick my man. That's all you bro
@@typerez8132 its 1:99 you draw any specific card, and the likely hood increases once you're at 92 cards left. So your opening hand with those exact cards is rare, maybe 1 in 10 games give or take.
I vote for this. We start calculating how many turns it takes us to go off, then subtract that from 10 and that becomes the power level rating system. The exception would be with control decks always being as powerful as the decks they shut down you make that same calculation by seeing how many times you can on average "time walk" your opponents in a game and subtract that from 10 to find the power level.
I remember the one time I won with Tergrid. The first time I played it. Got dogpiled the next 4 games and took the deck apart. Good times... good times...
@@azelia2464 Yea…. I played Tergrid once, realized it’s just super unfun to play and to play against and put it on a shelf as a reminder, not all decks are worth building lol.
They know him, that's why they let him go first. I bet they didn't even shuffle up, they simply didn't discard and played with each other from then on.
That was a solid turn 1 from Tergrid. Beautiful if she was going first too. I played Tergrid at it’s highest power and almost never saw hands like this
I've gotten turn 1 krrik once. Have also gotten a turn 1 koma while running tasigur. But this is just filthy. I wanna rebuild my tergrid again. I miss her 🥺
I love seeing these shorts cause I'm figuring out that commander is not very keen on super powerful decks unless people all are in on it. Usually people just play with a balance of what they like and what works I guess.
I realize this is hyperbole, but yeah that is 100% how you never get invited to a playgroup again lol. Had a game at an LGS where everyone was playing mid-power decks and a guy sat down with his Scion of Ur Dragon cEDH deck and, as I was the only player attempting to interact to stop him from going infinite on turn 3, he killed me first. Told all of my other friends at the LGS to just play decks to not let him do anything for the rest of the night. It was lovely. People just need to be willing to have the rule 0 conversation. AND, most importantly... if you only have one deck? Don't ONLY have a cEDH deck.
"Not a turn 1 win" But every monster, land, enchantment, equipment and artifact they draw counts as a permanent. So it'll be a turn 2 win due to summoning sickness
So I actually have a story for this one. I was playing my tergrid deck and my friend randomly picked cards from my deck to put into my hand. 2 swamps, sol ring, charcoal diamond, dark deal and a couple others. I was able to get tergrid out turn 2 and wheel on turn three. If I were selecting my hand that would be it and he gave it to me by pure chance.
Yea quick win cons are neat but only if you're playing for money. At my local game store you do stuff to get points to redeem in store. If you kill someone before turn 5, you lose points. With a few other things losing you points as well such as land destruction, theoretically you could go negative in points
The moment I saw Mana Crypt + Jeweled Lotus I knew EXACTLY where this was going cus a friend of mine once did this to me during my FIRST day ever of playing Magic
My fastest was probably my turn two heart of the wild deck where I go insanely lucky. Had that deck since she came out and has only ever popped off like that twice once was back with paradox engine in the format good times good times lol
@@HavocTheWendigo I had to godhand the exact 7 cards, draw perfectly, and play in the right sequence, but my OG Kozilek deck once managed to get a Kozilek in play equipped with Lightning Greaves, with 2 hard stax pieces in play as followup on turn 1. It was so unbelievably busted I just apologised for the freak accident and we shuffled up for a second game.
@@HavocTheWendigo yeah its weirdly polarising how good and how bad I felt at the same time. The euphoria of "Holy shit this is possible in this deck wtf?!!" alongside the guilt of "Holy shit this is possible in this deck wtf?!!" 😅 Play went: Play Mishra's Workshop as land for the turn. Tap it for 3 mana Cast Helm of Awakening, Down to 1 mana, Cast Mana Vault, Mana Crypt, Sol Ring and Voltaic Key for free. Cast a Grim Monolith with the one floating mana, Tap them all for 10 mana, use 1 of it to untap Grim Monolith, Tap Grim Monolith, 12 mana total, Spend 9 mana to Cast Kozilek Butcher of Truth, Draw 4 cards, Cast freshly drawn Defense Grid for 1 mana, Cast freshly drawn Lightning Greaves for 1 mana, equip, Cast freshly drawn Winter Orb, Go to combat, Attack. Feel ecstatic and bad. Pass turn rather sheepishly, Hold Cursed Totem in hand to cast turn 2. Table concedes. ... Profit? It was.... just... the most savagely brutal turn 1 I've ever seen.
I have, on multiple occasions, hard banned sweats from my table. At my local, if we are playing sealed, everyone knows, we split. We have this ultra sweat that never splits. And he wonders why we say our pods are full every time he comes around.
This is why the proper question is "what is the earliest turn you can begin your clock?" If someone can start their clock turn one or two, thats a good sign the deck is high power.
If you wanna be even more broken, use K'rrik as your commander and run Tergrid in the main. Im constantly speeding through my entire deck before turn 4 reliably.
