The best win-con is arbitrarily being declared the winner because the LGS is closing and you have the most life.
“Homer you’re the winner, by default”
Homer: My favorite words! ‘By default!’
@@jamescampbell2353his TWO favorite words “de fault”
Best win con is selling your collection and spending your time on something your parents can finally be proud of
Ngl I don't think that'll win any games, might wanna rethink that gameplan
I love the other hosts during Seth's Warp World Discussion.
Tomer: Nooooooo
Crim: Yesssssss
Richard: barely listening just thinking about birds.
These podcasts are quickly turning into: "What card can I bring that will tilt the other members the most?"
I love it!
To be fair, this is about commander.
yes and?
I enjoy seeing the salt, the grimaces, and the meltdowns
Lets be honest, that's what its always been about lol
35:11 that sounds like an amazing commander clash episode. everyone gets secretively or maybe even openly given another player who you need to make the winner, the irony being that that person doesn't want to win because he wants someone else to win.
Oh wow that sounds fun. +1
It's a bit like mafia.
Divine intervention makes me want to see a magic card with text that reads something along the lines of "if the game would end in a draw you win instead." And have the flavor of a peace negotiation.
Would that be good in a secret lair/put into a "list" like the Stranger things cards? I think maybe that could be good since that effect is SO janky lol
I wrote a huge post on reddit a while back about how Divine Intervention essentially says 'you win the game' and a bunch of spikes raged that 'no, you draw because it says you draw.'
From a philosophical standpoint though, you don't. A draw is when all the players are in a forced stalemate, or they all agree to walk away. If one player unilaterally has the ability to declare the game a draw without the other players consent, that defeats the idea of what a draw even is. The play patterns are identical to other timed wincons like Approach of the Second Sun. You play it, the game is put on a clock until a thing happens, and you protect yourself while the rest of the table does everything in their power to stop the thing from happening - and when the thing happens, the game ends on your terms. Nobody is about to let Divine Intervention resolve because 'its a draw.' They're gonna throw everything they can at stopping it and winning the game themselves... and if Divine Intervention walks like a wincon and talks like a wincon... IMO its a wincon.
Now there's a bit of a grey area if that means other forced draws like a polyraptor combo count as a wincon. I don't quite feel it does since it dosn't have the same level of mechanical intention as Divine Intervention, but you could argue it is, and if you walk away from the game feeling like you won, it functionally would be. Divine Intervention just stands out to me as a strange case, since it claims to force the game to be a draw while simultaneously defying what it means to draw in the first place.
Richard has to be my favorite contributor to the commander community, I hope to play a game with him one day, such an awesome dude, so chill, I really enjoy his play style. The rest of y'all are at the top of my list too, I got love for all of yas, keep doing the thing we appreciate you guys
i like richard because i think he's the funniest and cutest 😊
You just want him to target you with his secret rendezvous
@@bobbyscissors8509 100% accurate
Best feeling inkshield ive ever had was late game somebody was milling the table and an opponent cast a rise of the dark realms and they swung out with everything at me and ink shielded for like 70! Then killed the table next turn. Felt so good
My favorite wincon: Generating 50+ mana every turn with my Zacama while having no card draw
Nobody needs to draw cards when you have PLAYER REMOVAL BABEEEEEYYYYYY
Zacama and 8mana ugin are also a cool lock down :)
Imagine using Fractured Identity on your own Divine Intervention. Now all of your opponents have a copy that will each draw the game unless they can destroy each one in just two turns. 😂
That makes for a really big Bane of Progress
Incorrect, its not a draw if someone wins.
My favorite win-con is “Bands with other legends” (Adventurers’ Guildhouse)
I've got a mono black legendaries deck because of the Citadel land. You cascade to find your commander each game.
Too strong, wiz please ban
Ok Seth, Divine visitation counts as a win? What if the Bills went to the superbowl and instead of playing the game they decided to call it a tie... would you consider that a win for the Bills?
If the tie involved some super weird, rare play (like a bunch of laterals ending up in the tying score or something) I'd probably consider it a way. If it was just a normal, boring game, probably not.
In the vain of Tomer's janky fractured identity wincon, I recently put Phage into my new Kamiz because unblockable, but I also put fractured identity in the deck because I just want to live the dream of casting fractured identity on my own Phage and killing everyone.
That Daredevil joke/reference was peak comedy.
You reminded me of the most bizarre inkshield moment recently. Someone inkshields to a 10 damage attack, which was going to be followed up by a 8 damage 2nd combat phase, I convinced the person to go ahead and attack the 2nd time. They go to board wipe, and I respond with rakdos charm killing the inkshield player with exact damage to the face.
Miss me with Divine Intervention, I’m blowing that up the first chance I get.
Best RUclips content available! Command Zone moved aside about a year ago so somebody was definitely gonna fill the void. I'm glad it's these guys!
Facts - CZ content is now just following spoiler season and clickbait thumbnails. Seems like their target audience is like 15 years younger than me at this point lol
Plus the Goldfish crew brings a more diverse set of opinions with more interesting discussion around interesting topics
What do you mean by move aside? They are still making videos every week
@@RobotHottdog They don't do a weekly podcast anymore. I know they've gotten too big to keep it up and good for them, but I liked the weekly podcast with Jimmy and Josh alone. Maybe bring in a 3rd some weeks..., but it's so rare that it's both of them when they get around to finally doing another episode.
CZ has been garbage for years. Like watching a WotC infomercial
@@andyspendlove1019
I had to stop watching CZ after they shilled for the walking dead secret lair. It was then I realized WotC had their had all up in their backside like a $2 hoe
Deck of Many Things combo win:
Dockside + Deadeye Navigator + Clan Crafter
That creates infinite mana and artifacts. You can draw your deck and play Omen Machine, Tormod’s Crypt, Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal and a sac outlet.
Building a Wyll/Clan Crafter deck now and this is the win con.
@@yairgomez9090 it definitely does. In this deck it’s still janky enough for me to use it and try and win with a fragile 9 card combo. I doubt anyone is gonna say it’s overpowered 😂
I recently was playing my Nicol Bolas themed deck, and actually won with an elderspell+Nicol Bolas Dragon God ult combo, felt amazing. Probably my favourite wincon just for style points.
Seth is 100% right on divine Intervention. If you pull it off it's a functional win. Because this was the plan from the beginning. And you even played to "win". You had a goal and worked towards it unlike some group-hug builds that have no gameplan of their own beside powering up everybody else.
My favorite win is to stifle the Thoracle trigger.
I’ve done this and it was glorious

Wanted to list them all to see which ones I agreed with it being a WinCon. The ones with a "?" aren't WinCons in my opinion. (Combos are a different thing, again, imo)
Feel free to disagree and comment.
I can see why the other ?'s are wincons, but ending the game in a draw is not winning. If everyone scoops to your divine intervention, you win. If it finishes, you all drew the game, and it was a waste to play.
@@stevefink2824 disagree its not a waste. If your goal was to draw it then that was the goal.
@@mrdjuggernaut I mean, if you're legitimately trying to draw the game, you do you I guess. It just seems oxymoronic to "try" to tie the game right? Why try if there's no actual outcome? Why wouldn't you just play a card that says you win instead of you tie?
@@stevefink2824 because it is fun and like seth said in the video, if you achieve your goal it feels like you won, especially because everyone else would feel like you are saying. So others would be annoyed that there was no outcome, but you actually won even if everyone drew. Some people just want to watch the world burn. If you are a Johnny like me, you play to prove a point lol.
Door to nothingness w/ the ability copied x2 is my favorite wincon
34:16 - I love this take by Seth, because it encourages a whole different mindset in commander that isn't just straight hyper focused on winning. Some people have an objective to do in the game and if they do that, they win in their mind. It isn't about eliminating the other players. I believe it's Olivia Goebert-Hicks that has a deck where she just wants to deck herself. Not even with a lab maniac win con out. Just lose the game as fast as possible. When she does that, she "wins". I think this mindset needs to be encouraged more. So yes, I think if you have a deck built around divine intervention and you pull it off, even though the card says it's a draw, you did your thing and you win. The draw only matters in tournaments.
So can someone explain to me the salt with divine intervention? It's literally no different from any alt wincon it just says the word draw instead of win on it. They're all hollow victories anyway
Yep, exactly. You scoop up your board and shuffle your deck. Same shit.
Scrambleverse is a legit Wincon. Made a deck that makes an infinite number of Mana Crypts and then casts Scrambleverse.
Luxior paired with the commander that makes creatures come back as enchantments when they die is gonna be my favorite super friends deck now.
Group hug Pheldagrif or however his name is spelled, and your "win" condition is to keep all of the players alive, and end the game with Divine Intervention. Your back-up play is to brutally murder whoever first kills another player, because they ruined the peace, and then concede.
It's a role-play strategy.
Seth…I absolutely love your win Con’s I very much want you to pull off the Divine Intervention beat down and the Deck of Many Wins. Good luck. Making a Divine Intervention deck where you play god trying to ensure no players die so you can tie seems so fun.
I like Inkshield too Tomer. I have it in my Chromium, the Mutable flash deck and it's just the perfect place for it.
Great episode! Tomer, love the nine lives interaction at the end of the pod.
Favorite win in a while was a Kwain deck. Sower of Temptation to steal an opponent's Nykthos Paragon, next turn cast Sakishima's Will to have all my creatures become copies of it then tap Kwain (Commander), gained one life and had my creatures become enormous. Built my own Craterhoof by accident. Opponent had 100+ life and killed the whole table.
I don't know why I am so surprised that Crim proposes vices.
Casual magic isn't just about "winning at all costs" OR "trying not to win at all costs". Winning can be on the list of preferences, but not at the top. Anywhere in the spectrum.
Deck of Many Things combos with Mind Over Matter- untap your mana rock and the Deck with every 10-19!
Lol I’ve never heard of Jokulhaups. Couldn’t understand what they were saying and turning on captions didn’t help at all
Love Thrilling Encore. Run it in my Teysa aristocrats deck, I remember a game where I had a grave pact, sacced all my creatures, and then cast this to get everything back
Inkshield is good with Treasures, because you can use them only once any way.
Divine Intervention + Opalescence + Grafted Exoskeleton
Fractured Identity the DI. Now there's FOUR to deal with!!! :D
Imma riot if Seth doesn't include "Mill 'em out"
Imagine if crim had inkshield on the episode seth exponential grew x=46 nyxbloom ancient and hit him for a number mtgo couldn't even compute
it was 351 Trillion damage
I think I'm a huge Johnny player. Maybe Johnny with a bit of spike. I personally look at commander and how interesting it is, and how many unique cards I will get to play in them, how to abuse its ability and generate as much value as possible. I often than struggle to realize how to actually win. So usually my decks end up having some combo or one card oneshot in them. Prime example of this has to be my Osgir which is a deck that basically mimics Simic. Tons of ramp, tons of draw. Then I realized I have noway to win, so I just jammed into Mystic forge into Obelisk + walking balista combo. It is not the most satisfying way to win, but the rest of the deck is so sweet and I enjoy it a lot.
Couldn't you end the turn also to get rid of your own trigger of nine lives? Say a sundial of the infinite?
The "Codfather" *is* the name of a fish and chips shop near me in Brisbane, Australia!
I’ve won with blackblade multiple times in my dakkon voltron deck and its always awesome :) I’m still waiting to Barren Glory in my nevinyrral deck :)
To go with the Inkshield submission, one of my favorite wincons is gideons sacrifice in combination with some Stuffy Doll effect. Since you only have to hold up 1 mana, this is a REAL gotcha moment.
Eldrasi monument is my version of coat of arms.
Helping your creatures to fly and get +1/+1 is nice and hey if you fail to kill they are indestructable too.
Ofc acroma memorial can also be a good contestor.
I like Academy Rector + end of last opponent's turn Kaervek's Spite with Barren Glory in the library is my favorite. Or if you're desperate cast Barren Glory and respond with Kaervek's Spite.
I've resolved a few inkshields and it's definitely a fun wincon. Like Crim said, you hold up the mana when you have some threats deployed and it's such a powerful effect if you do get attacked. If the mana gets wasted then oh well because you've still got these threats deployed. You can usually see when some kind of attack is coming and it's surprisingly easy to get a lot of inklings since you'll choose to not do any blocking. Swings for 10+ are common in the later stages of the game and at that time a board of 20+ power fliers will easily kill people. As Tomer said, you untap and kill people before they even had time to respond! Even an attack of 5 damage on you is 10 power of fliers, which is huge.
It's a very powerful card I'd recommend for any orzhov deck. Only times it's not as good are in meta's where people aren't winning with combat damage. Otherwise, it's one of the strongest things to repeatedly hold up in the later stages of the game because unless they have a board clear to play right after, you'll be killing them.
I'm glad it's orzhov, so it's not played everywhere. Otherwise it might get old quite quickly because it causes very sudden swings. I can imagine some people getting bitter about that.
My favorite wincon is Possessed Portal. It might look like a stax card but the game pretty much ends as soon as it resolves. It eats through boards and hands like it's nothing and if you opponents didn't have removal they are never going draw it either.
You can play portal in all kinds of decks. Token decks, reanimator decks, aristocrat decks etc. You can do whacky stuff like play tibalt and have impulse draw fuel you or cast a big blue sun zenith and hope your hand is bigger than their boardstate.
I've drawn the game a few times with divine intervention in my Vish kal alt wincon and upkeep tribal deck and it usually makes the people that were going to lose the game really happy. Highly recommend at least proxying a few for your white decks that also have ramp colours in there like black red and green.
I wanted to agree that Divine Intervention does make people salty, because it's the "win con" in my Estrid Stasis deck, but it's a bit hard to argue that it's the DI doing that and not the whole, yknow, stasis thing.
Just because Divine intervention has the word "Draw" printed on it doesn't mean it feels like a draw when you end the game with it. In commander victory is achieved by ending the game on your terms.
Agreed. Sometimes winning isn't winning. It's seeing the sheer panic or those gears whir in your opponents head as you force them to do things or be a menace at the table
I’ve been watching y’all for a while but somehow never watched this episode. This just came up as recommended and the fact that this is the first instance of Richard being called The Codfather made smile more than it should have!
I feel like what often gets missed with Inkshield is that its best home is in Aristocrats. So you don't necessarily need to be holding up 5 lands, you just need sac fodder for Ashnods Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Pitiless Plunderer. Usually your deck has some other treasure generators as well.
Then not only are you generating a large army to swing with in the air, you also have more sac fodder for mana, life drain, card draw, etc.
Foul-Tongue Shriek is a good wincon in go wide decks. It just kills one player but thats at that point the only thing you need.
Hellkite Tyrant is a fun one as it has if you have 20 or more artifacts at the beginning of your upkeep you win the game. Well more fun if Dockside is not in the deck as treasures are artifacts and if you have a infinite bounce loop you can just bounce Dockside and get enough treasures then cast Hellkite Tyrant and a extra turn spell and win without a chance for the opponents to deal with it. Obviously this will be better and easier the higher power you go as fast mana artifacts while abundant in 8's will be rampant in 9's and 10's so the win con unless the opponents counter spell with a free counter or low mana one has a high chance to happen, in fact a single cast of Dockside might be enough to do it without looping him and usually no one counters him the first time unless they know it is going for the win con even if they know he casues problems when resolves as they rather wait till they think it is a threat like someone going to pop off for a win or target their combo piece/hurt their own plan so they save the counter magic like proes.
Just for the record, you would need 14 dice increasing effects to have even a 50% chance of getting a 20.
As far as I'm aware, the only ways to roll an extra die are barbarian class, pixie guide, and Wyll blade of frontiers. Wyll is legendary, so let's ignore getting multiple copies of him. There are lots of cards which can make many copies of creatures, but relatively few which make copies of enchantments, so you would really need to make 14 copies of your pixie guide. Empty your hand, hit the 50/50, then do it again the next two turns. Pretty sure I'd rather just Delina twin them out.
Krarks other thumb also helps, but silver bordered cards are pretty sketch in commander
You can make a bunch of nonlengandsry copies of Wyll with helm of the host
31:40
Perrie the Pulverizer is a great Intervention Counter commander
Peer into the Abyss, Wound Reflection/Warlock Class L3, and Zevlor
One of my favourite win conditions is Hullbreaker Horror. Just big kraken being annoying and bouncing everything until you win 😈
Seth: Fractured Identity your Divine Intervention, it's glorious.
34:15 I agree with Seth, to the point where I'm making a Power Rangers theme deck (for when they inevitable make the secret layer) and since its basically just random references, I'm making a bingo card and I'll consider it a victory if I pull off a bingo in a game!
That's actually a super sweet idea. I might have to steal that for some of my jankier decks.
About Thrilling Encore: in Grixis colors, I love it with Invert-Invent: end of turn Invent, get Blasphemous Act and Thrilling Encore, and then untap and cast them immediately.
It also happened once that I responded to my opponent casting Thrilling Encore main phase by... casting Thrilling Encore.
Repay in Kind with with Lich's Mastery is my favorite :)
[Edit (i shouldn't comment before seeing the whole thing)]: An even sweeter version of the Nine-lifes combo (though not possible in Zedruu) is Phage, the Untouchable + Fractured Identity. :D
With the Ashiok, Doomsday, Hive Mind Combo: Remember to always use Ashiok's ability first. He prevents opponents from searching their library, not the graveyard, so your opponents can still assemble something out of there.
And adding to the Capsize discussion: Unless Capsize is involved in creating the infinite Mana (e.g. with Dockside), i see the infinite Mana combo as the finisher, not Capsize... What you actually spend your Mana on doesn't really matter, as long as you can spend it.
I prefer The Great Aurora over Warp World, it's easier to cast a big clunky spell in Green, and neither is doing much to protect the spell. I run it in a Simic deck that uses it as a solution to any permanent that resists solving via my other 'removal' options (usually theft or bounce), but I added in a Forbidden Orchard to serve as a win con with it, since I can infinitely tap it I can draw out all my opponents via one casting.
Coat of Arms is a bonkers card if you just play it out, I totally feel like you only use it when you've got a big enough board to just win off of. I got a few so-so cards out of the dispenser, our store tried to throw in mostly playable stuff when they had extra that wasn't moving, but I did see a place where they literally had Vanishing as the 'chase' card. Ironic at the time I couldn't see why it was actually a really good card, but I don't think anyone else thought it was all that good than either, it's very situational.
If you're gonig to spend +7 mana to wipe/recur, you might look at Necromantic Selection, which is dirt cheap for a very powerful effect, and it's all on the one card. Thrilling Encore seems like you mostly are hoping someone else's wipe to follow up with this, at which point you win on your next turn hopefully. Unless you can count on triggering it (IE have +5 ways to wipe the board for little or no mana, and it has to be a graveyard based wipe), it will often sit in your hand and do nothing I suspect, and TBH how many decks actually run +5 cheap wipes yet lack a better win con? At it's best, this is still dependent on your opponent's having a board, but also having a board that can die, which is a big ask usually. In the right group it'll be a huge bomb, in the wrong meta it'll stink up the room.
I think I have a deep distaste for PWs in 1v1, but they are less awful in 4 player. I will say I 200% disagree with Crim, PWs are the worst thing that's ever happened to Magic, 15 years of removal/wipes suddenly cried out in terror as they were obsoleted, meanwhile WotC doesn't print any good ways to deal with them until after they've printed Oko, PWs are piles of dog doo that should go away in 1v1, but in 4 player they suck because they just die all the time, which is cool. In 1v1 any PW that doesn't actively suck is usually incredibly good, offering a mountain of value if a deck can't technically deal with the PW, and most of the better PWs are considered that because they are able to deal with an existing board reasonably well. Do I run PWs? A few here and there, but I don't run many, and I don't foresee myself running Superfriends, but I do have decks that use PWs as win cons.
So, just read up on Divine Intervention, if you Clockspinning someone they get to eat poo unless they can put another counter on it, that is so much better than destroying or exiling this. Note, I think this would be pretty salty, but in Casual I feel like you probably should be fine with a Rule 0 talk about your deck's goal, and if you actually are pushing to achieve that Draw, it should count for something (maybe?), perhaps an alternative solution to the puzzle.
My deck that uses The Great Aurora also uses Capsize, as both removal and a wincon. I love Capsize so, so much, even when all I can do is cast it 3 times with Buyback until I draw something better, that still can be hilarious.
I enjoy using Thieves' Auction as an alternate wincon of sorts, the deck tries to delay and wipe until something worth taking comes out, then it hopes to get it somehow, ironically not a Blue deck. I'm trying out Stax as an alternate wincon in a Boros Weenie deck, we'll see if Stax and 3 sides wipes can be the backbone of a Weenie deck. I like wincons that aren't the 'optimal' one, though I sometimes try to arrange a situation when what is normally optimal ceases to be.
I have a The Deck of Many Things deck with Eruth, Tormented Prophet! I use artifact tutors to find The Deck of Many things and I use Eruth to make sure my hand never has cards in it, but I still have tons of card draw. Since I'm in Izzet, I use all the dice rolling advantage cards to increase my chances. I have played the deck a fair bit, but I haven't rolled a nat 20 yet. I have rolled a nat 19 and drew a counterspell to stop a Grixis deck from ending the game with Thassa oracle once. The funny thing is that I've only won with beating people down with creatures like Delina, Farideh, and Laelia.
Crim's cheeky definition of casual commander is really frustrating to me. No, casual (or real) Commander isn't about not playing to win, it's about winning with fun decks rather than the cEDH spike mentality of turning it into a turn 2 format. I know that cEDH/spike players view casual players with scorn because they don't all play consultation/thoracle combos and play colours other than blue, but casual Commander is what the format should be - a variety of decks, being able to play cards that cost more than 4 mana, and having fun with new and exciting interactions. Dumbing it down to "casual commander is about not trying to win" is insulting to what the format is meant to be. Okay, rant over :D
One time I was watching a T90 video (he mainly does AoE2 stuff) and one of the players was named Cod Father (or something. Maybe Cod-Father). I don't remember the exact spelling. Also not sure if there was a The in front of Cod Father.
I got 2 20 rolls on the deck of many things back to back during commandfest Philly! The guy I was trying to kill tutored for baleful mastery the first time so he unfortunately did not die but it stopped his win (I did this in response to him ulting Tevash Zhat as a hail mary to prevent him from winning) , the next turn I untapped rolled a 20 and sac’d to my now untapped phyrexian tower, this time choosing to kill the tiamat player! I did not win this game, and yet I walked away a winner.
My favorite win con that I've pulled off in a commander game has been Dragonstorm. I managed to win outright with it 2 ways, once I played Mana Geyser and copied it with Reiterate for infinite mana, then cast it with the mana (in a mono red deck so pulling off the 3 card combo for 11 mana was a huge feels good) and the other time was I had it under a Spinerock Knoll and someone else stormed off and was about to kill the table, and as soon as someone took the 7 damage I used the Knoll to flash Dragonstorm and my dragon ETBs won me the game.
It's so obvious that Tomer hast Chaos PTSD when he thinks that Chaos Warp is worse than Capsize as a win con :D It is not too hard to resolve if you know what you are doing and so much fun things can happen. I play it in Jolene. Scrambleverse and Thieves' Auction are just annoying though. There is no way to break symmetry
I have successfully pulled off Divine Intervention twice, the first time it was on turn 3:
T1: Sol Ring
T2: Academy Rector
T3: Diabolic Intent (sacrificing Rector) for Vampire Hexmage.
😂
I Disagree with these guys more than I agree but I do think they have some good ideas, the problem I find in them is they started playing MTG in One vs. One formats and try to bring perspectives from those formats even when they know those views don't translate well. I would like a new cast member who started playing MTG More Recently and started with Commander!
When I first started watching the podcast I saw Trout Mask Replica behind Seth, now I see the Holy Modal Rounders. You have great taste, Seth :)
Technically divine intervention in 5 or more people formats, only affects those within 1 seat. Do to the "in range" ruling of some formats. So if you can manage to give this to an opponent then make that opponent give it away farther away, you can force everyone NOT you to draw, and with plat angel, you dont lose, and you arent affected by the "draw" effect sooo.... you win :)
I always try to build decks with control win cons that if you seen my decks you wouldn't know what the wincon is... things like looping cards to lock the game out. Or looping reality shift and exileing there deck. It takes allot of set up but once the table figures out what you are doing they normally scoop. But I try to win with cards you normally wouldn't counter or exile... like turning a single lightning bolt into a grapeshot...
I think for divine intervention, you could politic with it? Hey, Player 2, help me kill player 3 and 4, and then I will guarantee let us both win by drawing it between you and I? How does drawing the game work, does it draw it between whoever is left in the game?
Deck of many things comment
Lol you also need some eldrazi or shuffle effect in the deck so you can shuffle your graveyard back in otherwise all the drawing and discarding you might deck yourself before you hit 3 20’s with 0cards in hand lol
My favorite win condition is casting a Finale of Glory for 12 mana. It’s incredibly hard to pull off, but if you do it and the board doesn’t get wiped before your next turn, you can usually win the game.
My favourite win on in my Mogis god of slaughter deck is bloodchief ascension plus fraying omipotence. Bloodchiefs always looks like an innocuous 1 mana enchantment but it’s lethal
I'm sorta biased to ink shield. My first ever game of commander I had the silverquill precon and blocked lethal damage (15) then went on to win. Just a small moment but it was the turn that got me hooked on magic.
When I was younger we ran a paper magic prismatic game with 9 players. The player to my before me cast hive mind. I then cast warp world. 3 hours later we finally had an empty stack and 3 players died. Love warp world so much after that day
Coat of Arms into Inkshield. You Coat of Arms, attack me for 80. I get 80 2/1's with +79/+79 each and crack back for 6480.
The deck of many things Dramatic-Septer may not even win the game. You’re probably more likely to draw out unless you have a way to not draw cards or lose. 😂
Sorry Tomer. I built your Zedruu deck, and literally in the first game won by nine lives combo. Sweet deck though, thanks for the deck tech mate!
another good fractured Identity combo for the win is to play Leveler, Fractured Identity on the leveler, and then pass and let everyone lose to the draw. Phage works in its place as well.
I just want to say that I have been straight blown out by Ink Shield. Plus it has the upside that once you've been got by this it is so bad that if you see someone in white black with 5 up, you will play around it.
Someone cast fractured identity on my Elesh Norn, I was playing a Ghired Token deck. I deserved it, but I didn't like it 😆.
My favorite cards for win cons is ixodron, and reigns of power. Ixodron literally flips the entire bord. It gets around absolutely everything and so does reigns of power.
I have a Krenko deck, generic Goblins game plan, go wide and turn sideways. That deck has a Worldfire in it, just for the fun.
I'd say one of my favorite win conditions is going infinite with Vadrok, a few mutate creatures, Frantic Search, *Shaman's Trance, and my opponent's Jeska's Will.*
leveler is a fun wincon if you can dump your library to the graveyard then have an effect to shuffle it back into the library, but then you also need to exchange control of it all around the board and blink it on everyone.
Devine intervention is one of the biggest anti climactic ways a game can end (yeah im boring) You dont Win. the game just.. ends.
My first tike playing deck of many things I got a 1 followed by a 20 and almost killed a player cuz it got pathed
Inkshield is a HOUSE! It has won me a few games on its own. Highly recommend it in any combat-matters meta.
There is a fish and chips shop in Edinburgh Uk called The Codfather. I do not believe they have the copyright.
Seth seems like a player thata fun to play with im also not into woncons or combos i just cast my mildrifters and big stompy things
for deck of many things a nat 20 is a nat 20, you only subtract to see if you discard your hand. the other effects don't take that into account.
My favorite wincon right now is myr incubator with reckless fireweaver in my janky Slobad deck.
Warp World is a dope wincon. I have it in my Vazi Capitalism deck. It allows me to make oodles of treasures and turn them into all sorts of nasty monsters.
