Tectonic Instability is a triggered ability, so you can tap lands for mana in response to a land entering the battlefield. Also, it taps the land that entered to trigger it.
@@scottpearson9846 Imho it does not make a difference for lands which enter untapped because amulet of vigor will simply not trigger. If your land would enter tapped i believe first the amulet of vigor trigger goes on the stack, then the tectonic instability trigger goes on the stack. So first the tectonic instability trigger will force you to tapp all your lands and then the amulet of vigor trigger will untap your comes into play tapped land.
Lynch, I have the same Atla deck and a nice wincon is terror of the peaks for direct damage… another nice interaction is with maskwood nexus, because the wurm dying will trigger Atla to look for the wurm again and again hahahah super cool game 😊
With Tectonic Instability, a player can tap their mana in response to the trigger. John didn't need to take a shot lol Edit: Can I just say that Ray is an absolute VIBE. Always chill regardless of what happens. Celebrates everyone when they go off. Completely hilarious. More Ray! Lol
You guys were playing Tectonic Instability incorrectly (The thing making everyone tap their lands when they play a land). It's a triggered ability that triggers when a land enters the battlefield, so the land you play also gets tapped since it comes in, THEN the trigger goes on the stack. However, you don't have to tap your lands before playing a land to get mana out of them, because you can tap your lands in response to the trigger. So John didn't actually need to do a takeback shot!
So i just want to point out that the 3 mana enchantment Ray played that taps a players land when they play a land is a triggered ability since it uses "whenever". This means that when Kentucky played his rogues passage it would have put a trigger on the stack to tap all his lands. He can in response, float his mana at this point. So he took a take back shot that he didn't need to do.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Lynch wouldn't have had to pay the tax on the atla cast since the first time he cast it from his hand using command beacon.
Nice to see Atla catch up after a slow start. I wonder why the 3 mana red creature is in there. Just a sac outlet? Seems like a wiff to me. You could have sacced the wurm on it to attack with it and 6 wurm tokens instead of just the 1 big wurm. Unless you saw a damn coming ;) Do you run Altar of Dementia and Warstorm Surge to either mill or blast your opponents? I have an Atla deck as well but with slightly more creatures as I like some variance. Most are worldspine like that fall apart into tokens when they die. Combined with a lot of board wipes and some token doublers it goes hard
40:15 Lynch didn't even care to untap his permanents along with his opponent because of his Seedborn Muse, although Seedborn Muse forces him to do so. Thus, Lynch was disqualified ^_^
If some of you Play a Land and the trigger to tapp all Lands goes in the Stack, you could Food your mana. Do you don‘t have to put the Mana in your Pool befor you Play the Land ( so the Tack-back-Shot was Not nessesery) also you have to tap the Land you Play also.
Just wanted to point out that at 36:28 Lynch paid commander tax on Atla when he didnt need to. He never cast the commander from the command zone, it was put into his had with Command Beacon, commander tax only cares about the number of times that your commander has been cast from the command zone.
little surprised he didt sac the worm to make 6 5/5's with trample and haste instead of just attacking with a 15/15, since he has parallel lives on the board
You don't have to tap the lands before playing your land for turn with that enchantment out. You can tap them in response the ability hitting the stack since it's triggered
tectonic instability technically gives lands etb abilties, so instead of john doing the hot sauce shot, he could hand responded to the ability and float all his mana
40:00 man I was like this is sick, Lynch can do the worldspine thing twice each turn, making 36 wurms in a single rotation. And then he proceeded to not do that :(
good example of why grave yard hate is solid in edh. When rector hits the graveyard it triggers and if removed she can't fulfill her trigger so no enchantment can be searched. the worm also has a graveyard trigger to shuffle back in which can then be removed from game. this would of completely neutered the huevos combo deck. cremate is my favorite gy hate card fyi
how did lynch get the effect from his egg of playing a creature from his library with drannith magistrate out? unless you going to tell me "playing is different from casting"
Am I wrong but couldn't Lynch have won once he got the WorldSpine Wurm in place? Basically go infinite with Wurm tokens by sacking to the Ashnod and getting the search trigger to find the Wurm again?
Poor guy did an unnecessary shot I think... pretty sure you can just tap the lands and float mana with the tap trigger on the stack. Don't have to do it before you play the land.
Just found out about your channel, and I was wondering. Do you need to get a patreon to access the Discord Server, or is there something else I'm missing?
i'm so confused about the atla deck, did he just have like a few creatures and that was it because it looked like he went through a good chunk of his library to find a creature
Yes, the egg dying let's him search for the next creature card, having so few creatures guarantees he gets the creature he wants, which is the worm. The rest of the deck can just be about getting the right enchantments/artifacts on the board to make sure it has sacrifice outlets.
Yes, because it's additional cost, not mana tax (like ward). The saga just makes the spell cost (2) more than it did before, which is a cost that can still be improvised
Why do most people who play Magic say all their game actions with such smug arrogance? "I will play X card, then I will play X card" Its very passive aggressive and makes me very uncomfortable.
15:00 No Takebacks Required! Tectonic Instability is a triggered ability, and he has the ability to respond to the trigger by tapping his lands. Realistically him forgetting can be chocked up to ray not reminding him, which as it is his permanent it is his responsibility. All in all, good fun anyway, except drinking that shot mustve sucked
Something really small that’s still worth noting: with tectonic reformation, whatever lands you play would also be getting talked because the land is on the battlefield when the “tap all your lands” trigger resolves. Nothing stops you from tapping it yourself for mana or abilities in response to the trigger, and as of 19:23 nobody has used the lands that stayed untapped on someone else’s turn so it has no impact on the game thus far, its just a bit of silly semantics.
