I actually just had a conversation about this. The only rule 0 I have on Mass Land Destruction is that. "If you play it, you are going to be targeted and should not complain about it."
Those green rampy decks are probably even running more lands than the other decks too. You could blow up a dozen lands from the typical landfall deck and there's probably more left in their library than the other decks even started with.
Gruul landfall player ✋ I've faced mld a few times and always recover fastest at the table. Once my friend dropped that red enchantment that wipes lands on his upkeep and I was able to Sylvan Awakening on my turn. I've never felt punished as the landfall player by getting hit by it, only put ahead.
I’ve got a Temur Omnath Landfall deck, and a friend who runs Fall of the Thran in his Elesh Norn deck, and I’ve won literally every single game where he cast MLD. Unless you’re making it one-sided, MLD just stretches out games, makes them salty, and rewards the decks that bounce back fastest (IE landfall decks).
Agreed. Also, what’s with the “must punish green player” for ramping thing? Should we also punish blue players for having counter spells? Red for having explosive turns? Black for tutoring? White for removing things? Why are we punishing people for doing what the colours they’re playing just do. I can’t imagine a world where I get salty because of Three Visits.
@@noniddie Fair enough. There’s a lot of non-green solitaire decks though. Storm decks being a good example. They are usually Izzet. I play a lot interaction personally and have only one green deck, but would much rather someone was ramping quickly into big stompy stuff than storming off for 15 minutes a turn with rituals, cheap spells or low cost artifacts etc
I make this long comment because many of the times the words we use such as punish inherently develop this negative connotation that as the player on the receiving end have been hurt/harmed/stopped because of x.... however there is an understanding that the player who makes the play is trying to play for a reward. for example we can use the same definition for punish and for reward (break parity or return to parity) for example if we were to look at all plays as a reward for the player playing the spells and less as a punishment we can help alleviate the negativity associated with just playing the game... and that if a play happens we can have a conversation about wether or not that that play was the most "rewarding" play for the player and less about how it "hurts" by focusing on the player who played the spell that by all metrics is more likely to be received with open ears and acted upon because it becomes personal immediately.... example... the basic argument dont play land ramp because players dont like it.... well that wont stop people from doing it, until it affects them. and in the event of a payed entry they are not prevented at any instance from doing that which people dont like.... it may stop after event tables from excepting them but until that because something that affects them negatively it wont stop it. now if we look at it as a reward and conversate with the player and go hey your deck has a play style that land destruction doesnt help you as much as may think it does, you play on the same axis... here are some potential cards you can play that reward you in a way that is better than this. it makes their deck "better" and by extension increases their win percentage both thru deck design and thru understanding of how the deck plays... and makes it more likely to be implemented. if a player is playing land destruction and is not durdling or creating 2-3 hr games than that is rewarding land destruction. a perfect example for this would be kalia of the vast... land destruction works very well with that because you cheat creatures into play.... but if you turn 3 kalia turn 4 land destruction into open mana and a player removes your kalia in response, now we have a durdle event.... a conversation about waiting until to use your land destruction until you have the protection or there is no open mana is the most rewarding play... now i cant say that you wont have long games just because the artifact player land destructions and the land destruction player destroys the artifacts and now everyone has to rebuild... but they are playing on the axis that rewards (breaks parity or returns to parity) them. and those can be slogfests sometimes fun sometimes painful but there is a better understanding and in general more positivity associated with change.
@infinitedaryl2267 I understand that the storm stuff is annoying, but it's also necessary because otherwise those players cast 3-4 spells while green players have been 3 8/8 trample creatures or sth. on board.
Honestly, I used to run MLD in my landfall decks like Hazezon. Because, surprise surprise, it helped me get more triggers, while putting others behind. Just the way it is.
Had a brief, dark period where I dabbled in MLD in Kaalia as it synergies well with her on some levels and she was drawing heat anyway. But I found that resolving it often ended up in the other players scooping which didn’t feel fun for anyone, myself included. So I removed it and I disclose when playing her that I’m not running it so my opponents feel less of a need to archenemy me now which is good.
Every win condition ends up in other player scooping, so are we supposed to not play anything? A playgroup which complains about MLD Is a bad playgroup
Lol is this actually a thing that people try to tell themselves? I run an Armageddon, a Strip Mine, and a Wasteland in my Esper deck and my thought process was never at any point, "oh this is a great counter specifically for green land ramp." It was, "Hm these could be pretty decent stax pieces to slow the entire table and give me more time to set up."
I have a player in my playgroup who has a lorehold deck thats just him and a bunch of rocks, lands and spells. They run mld because if you cant kill lorehold, hes gonna win, especially through extra combats
Exile their graveyard, and remove their landfall payoffs, that'll do more to stop a landfall player from popping off than land destruction. Take it from a guy who has to face a Chulane landfall deck on the regular.
Same concept with board wipes. If you board wipe the board but one player is playing golgari, with graveyward recursion and double everyone's mana, maybe a board wipe isnt quite the answer you think it is
That's why you run Fall of the Thran, exile all your opponents graveyards, then accept all the looks of disdain from everyone else. BE THE PROBLEM, OWN UP TO BEING THE PROBLEM, PROFIT :^)
I also don’t think green ramp is necessarily the “problem” people think it is, every deck ramps now. In my experience if someone jumps ahead in mana early it’s usually because of sol ring into two mana rocks
My Zangief deck has Jokulhops and Obliterate. Not for the green player, but because zangief breaks everything, even your spirit and hopes. And when all else fails, equip the world slayer and say, "This game is over, ready to start the next one?"
Listen, I run what feels like EVERY Boardwipe known to men in Mardu-colours in my Alesha-deck, including Armageddon and Decree Annihilation and I know I'm the asshole for doing that, regardless of "the green player" 🤷♂️🤣
Clearly you should do the mature strategy of making an infinite blink loop with Agent of Treachery and just *stealing* all the land on the table. Far classier.
What a bizarre take. Destroying all the lands means that the landfall deck has the ability to get more landfall triggers. My landfall deck runs Zuran Orb for the express purpose of replaying lands.
At the end of the day it‘s a gamemechanic Playing MLD is in the most cases suboptimal I like playing with pods without „moral compasses“ Often the player with the most hatepieces is the first who get focused
Here is a thought: green decks are bad against combo and other strategies that don't need combat dmg to win (aristocrats, spellslinger, etc.). Diversifying your meta puts some spice into your games.
Most of my tables are fine with mass land distruction if the player using it has a way to close out the game within a few turns... but if your decks gameplan is to cripple everyone including yourself, get that deck otta here.
Exactly right. At our table, playing out an Armageddon or similar is done as a means to protect a finisher by getting rid of everyone's resources, and we're fine with that. But we also treat it as a clock; you have two turn rotations after wiping out everyone's lands to win the game, or we're calling it a draw and reshuffling.
Agree. But then it's not about the MLD itself. It's about the player, and the timing he chooses to do the thing. Don't blame the thing, blame the bad player who does the thing the wrong way
I use my graveyard so much as a landfall player that mass land destruction is probably the easiest way to enable my game plan. If you really want to slow down the landfall player, play stax 😂
I don't need to tell anybody the reasons I play MLD cause nobody has the right to tell me I should not. Altrhough, if I play a MLD spell in the wrong moment, I'm not going to win the game, so it's just a wincon like others
We need an effect that does something like exiles lands entering the battlefield beyond the first or something. I also don't mind MLD if you have a plan to win quickly afterwards.
@@noahreiniger4955 it's just not good enough against landfall since it gives them back a land. I want something that stops the extra land from ever making it to the battlefield.
I don't play regular MLD. I do believe that Commander players are getting far too greedy with utility and dual lands, so I'll play nonbasic land MLD (and nonbasic land hate). If you don't run basics and you're stuck working off your rocks after I cast From the Ashes and everyone else got a good chunk of land, that's on you mate, I'll take the beats if it starts putting fear in your head about not running enough basics.
Or you know... if someone's ramping that hard you can just make them discard. Ramp doesn't do anything if they have no cards to spend it on. I hate discard but its technically better than land destruction haha
I don't agree with MLD unless the player van win within the next 2-3 turns. Other than that it's just a crap "strategy" that only the MLD player enjoys and makes for horrible games.
@@rocker1296 fair enough. He just has been advocating for trying this on Commander Clash, and while I'm curious how it works out, it's not exactly sure his points are valid
@@rocker1296 because it does work, as the local Esper representative I can attest MLD does stop the green player. The trick is timing it well and removing their yard when you do. Back in the day we used to have a green player that would always run Collective Voyage and stuff constantly and that ended the day I played Arma followed by Bog. The rest of the table didn't like it when they saw arma, but everyone noticed the green player that lost like 2/3 of their total lands wasnt a threat anymore and the rest of the players still had their duals and stuff so werent as hurt by it. The thing is its not "they have ten lands time to wipe" which is how a lot of people think it is when they hear MLD deals with land ramp. It really is waiting until they are down in cards because they are out of the ramp in hand, when you notice they aren't playing a land every turn, etc. That you hit them with a land wipe. Or if you use certain commanders that dont actually need to cast your spells but cheat things into play for free where MLD effectively shuts down everyones mana for a few turns while you are largely safe to go for kills.
I don't buy this argument. Any color can recover from mana disruption. The question isn't if green can recover from MLD but how fast that recovery will take. If the other players are running non-land ramp they are still ahead on mana compared to the landfall deck. The landfall deck will still have to use time and resources to rebuild and they are vulnerable duing that time. That's why MLD is effective it creates an opening to exploit.
Well then maybe we need more targeted land destruction that hit more than one land at a time for the cost you pay. Most targeted land destruction seems to cost 2 or more mana and/or a one for one trade.
That didnt age well with Nadu. People gonna cherish you for playing mass land destruction and they will even counter the heroic intervention following up 😂😂
I disagree. Back to Basics and blood moon get me scoops from the table almost all the time. Same with V dad. Yall just aren't leaning into the land hate hard enough. Also mld focused lists should be reanimating lands and ramping themselves. I'll say it again, you're just not leaning into the hate hard enough. Embrace it.
I love you guys but I respectfully disagree with this one. Green land-based ramp usually goes totally unchecked. Having a deck that puts out a lot of Artifact or Creature ramp and then destroying everyone's lands is a good strategy. As always though, you should be able to win quickly after MLD or at least represent that you'll be winning quickly and handedly so that we can just shuffle up and go to the next game.
F commander ...play MONOPOLY if you dont want to play magic .... Magic : a technical game with social aspects COMMANDER a social game with SOME technical appearance
This counter argument is also dumb. Like, of course you don't Armageddon just to blow up lands. You only do it after establishing a board presence and making sure your board is the best one at that time. Armageddon works in aggro decks because they establish a board presence while the green deck is still ramping. If you allow them to then use that mana to cast big creatures, you will lose the game. This is where MLD comes in handy: you blow up those lands while they are still developing. And, if you managed to establish something like Adeline, she will kill the green player (and probably the rest of the table too) with the time Armageddon provided you. I understand hating MLD because people tend to misuse these cards, but arguing it does nothing to the green deck is either a bad faith argument or straight up dumb
