    Your turn 4 Grim Captain truly inspired me!
    My favorite kill was being down 18 to 4 with opponent having played a ton of 6/6, 4/5, etc. creatures on their turn but none had haste except one and I blocked it with my last creature. Then on my turn, I made a 7/7 Grim Captain with a Bloodletter of Aclazotz, then Spiteful Banditry'd all their creatures for 6 damage clearing their side of the board. Now Grim Captain attacks and I chose the 2/4 Bloodletter to attack with him. 2+7 = 9 but Bloodletter doubles all damage so that is 18!! damage in the single hit. Bladoosh you just got Grim Cap'd

    In timeless, I recent beat someone with eldrazi on the field. After multiple board whipes, turn 12 I think? I top decked my gray merchant of asphodel. They took all but five of my lands, I had no other permanents, they went from two to 1 life because of land dealings by them. My gray merchant dropped them below zero just in time. I took them below 5 life 5 times before, and they took me below 10 twice. I ended with 13 I believe. Timeless is insane!

    I don't really like the use of the word "kill" for ending a game of magic. The game has always made it abstracted on what happens canonically to a player when they lose the game. Planeswalker cards have loyalty points, so canonically they planeswalk away when they are removed from the game, players are supposed to be planeswalkers as well. I just feel like there's no reason to inject more violence into the pastime than needed. I know it probably seems like a silly thing to get hung up on, but it just bothers me.

      if you put the oppos lifepoints to a total of 0 or less - then they lost all their life
      What happens to living and undead if that happens? They become dead
      If you do this (burn spells for example) or command a group of soldiers etc to do this, you killed someone
      It would also always count as murder, since you were prepped and hat the intention to do this
      Your logik also implies you cant kill mobs in soulslike, since they return after resting
      Even bosses return in ng+

    • @wormspeaker
      @wormspeaker 9 месяцев назад

      @@deutscher1a You can always concede a game of magic instantly without the use of the stack. So your opponent never needs to let you reduce their health points to zero. As soon as it is apparent that you would put their life points to zero they can concede. Canonically this would probably be seen as planeswalking away before the fatal blow is landed. I've always seen a game of magic as a formal duel between two mighty plainswalking wizards (which is what WotC has promoted as the fantasy of the game to be) and as such a loss does not mean death, especially since in a competitive setting you need to lose more than once to lose the match. I see it as the planeswalking wizards resting up until the next day and having another go just so that they are sure who is the better wizard.
      Now, I certainly don't expect anyone else to agree with me, but I just think that calling a win in MtG a "Kill" is unnecessarily violent, AND not even technically correct since in the video most of the opponents conceded before lethal was ever presented. They left as soon as it was apparent that Seth had the upper hand.
