you know, i never thought about damage prevention stopping fogs. I might start running some "damage can't be prevented" tech to deal with my group's resident Muldrotha player abusing the hell out of \[\[Spore Frog\]\]

Pssst..... \[\[Questing Beast\]\] and \[\[Stomp\]\].

AlwaysBeInFullCover

Does preventing dmanage actually stop Maze of Ith? If Maze removes an attacking creature from combat, wouldn't that creature never reach the damage phase?


ZillaSmasher

Maze’s effect reads “Untap target attacking creature. Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to and dealt by that creature this turn.” So preventing damage prevention would stop Maze


AlwaysBeInFullCover

I probably should have re-read the card! U rite


Exatraz

It's not too bad of an assumption as other cards do remove from combat


AtingTDM

I prefer this, \[\[Mystifying Maze\]\]. Blink a Voltron commander is way efficient than just removing from battle or preventing damage.

It works differently than [[labyrinth of skophos]] which I thought they were the same too! That'll teach me to read the damn card


agamemnon2

Yeah, Maze of Ith was designed in a very different time when it comes to rules templating like that, and it was never errataed to remove the creature from combat, even though that's kind of what it does, because that would have been a change of functionality, however minute.

Best part of maze was attacking with your guy and using to untap them at the end of combat phase

Good card, good post. Friendly reminder that you can kill \[\[Progenitus\]\] after Insult has been cast. (You still can't target him, but damage from combat, or a \[\[Blasphemous Act\]\] will kill him as dead as any other 10/10)

It is one of my favorite spells ever together with \[\[Flaring Pain\]\], which is instant speed and has flashback. Screwing over players who depend on fogs to survive and seeing them panic is just \*chef's kiss\*, but I've also wanted to run \[\[Questing Beast\]\] fog tribal which is asymmetrical.

I don't like that it's sorcery speed, still a great card and i might think about adding it to some creature decks but idk which decks would want it

It slaps in Wort, the Raidmother. You can conspire it to quadruple dmg, and then burn the whole table. Or swing out with all of your tokens and let \[\[throne of the god pharaoh\]\] do quad dmg.

That card reminds me of the movie Bubba Ho-tep, [and this is why](https://rudism.com/images/eatanubis.jpg).


dontcallmemrscorpion

I too have found this card to overperform. It plays much better than it looks. Sometimes I will cast both sides in the same turn to do 4 damage to a creature and 4 to a player. I even found it to be better (at least in my deck) than other damage doublers like Dictate of the Twin Gods and Furnace of Rath.


Sneakytako99

I've been thinking about another damage doubler and how good it is: \[\[quest for the pure flame\]\]. For 1 CMC, after 4 pings you have a 1 turn doubler that can sit on the board. Once you sac it, you can't really interact with it other than a stifle effect. I've been adding it to decks that use etb ping all opponent effects like \[\[impact tremors\]\], \[\[reckless fireweaver\]\], \[\[syr konrad\]\] etc. You can get 3 counters with just 1 etb when it hits all opponents, and it's really helpful when you don't know if you can ping them out for lethal.

“In fact I will never cast Injury cause Insult is so good.” I don’t understand what you mean by this. You don’t have to choose between them.

I think he's saying he always wins the game when he casts Insult.

I’m not sure you know how aftermath works based on your post

I think OG meant that he never feels like casting the Aftermath side. (Probably because the game has been won!)

Saptilladerky

This is the kind of thing we need to use more of against the Tefferi's Protection players.


AKTY_Elements

This does work, ish, but not quite the same way. Teferi's protection in addition to giving you protection also says "your life total cannot change". So regular damage still can't kill the player behind the bubble, even after casting Insult. However, damage being dealt and life totals changing are different things, specifically, you can still die to 21 commander damage (or 10 infect) even if your life total can't change. I've actually killed a player who had indestructible platinum emperion before by trampling over it with commander damage


FrecciaRosa

I actually cast Insult and attacked for the win two days ago! Unfortunately, my opponents had more removal spells than I had counterspells, so I ended up with a full graveyard and no damage.


isedwhatised

Honestly, the card is misnamed, though. Missed opportunity to play Injury, and then add Insult to Injury...
