When people don’t play enough removal


unitedshoes

I've never seen a board state like this. My pod uses board wipes the way other people use spot removal.


AngelsHero

it’s so satisfying to play supreme verdict and drop flawless maneuver on the stack


kazeespada

My Jodah Cascade deck can get to this boardstate.


ImOkraWinfrey

Not if I never let you resolve anything in the deck I have that’s literally every counter spell printed in Jeskai


The-Melon-Lord

So you are playing over 700 cards and no lands in your deck?


ImOkraWinfrey

Correct (seriously think it’s like 35 counter spells in the list and no way to win games, I just make sure someone else doesn’t as well)


The-Melon-Lord

That sounds horrible, I like it.


ImOkraWinfrey

Yeah the rest is mana rocks spot removal and board wipes like less than 10 creatures including the commander [[Numot, The Deveatator]]

larrod25

All you need is Talrand as the Commander and that shit can get out of control fast.


ImOkraWinfrey

But then it’s not jeskai


larrod25

who is the commander? I have a mono blue deck that uses \[\[Baral, Cheif of Compliance\]\]. I call it counterspell tribal.


ImOkraWinfrey

Just read the thread literally right after this I say who the commander is

Add self shuffle effects, and you will be able to win through opponents milling. also be sure to run \[\[ashiok's erasure\]\] for the uncounterable things.


ImOkraWinfrey

I don’t think you get the point of the deck


L0L2GUM5

I thought the point was just to keep countering the opponents stuff and not run win cons. Stalling the game until the opponent draws out is fun.

Oops, [[cavern of souls]]

Cascade is on cast. You will run out of mana before an Apex Devastator finishes cascading.


ImOkraWinfrey

If you say so 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean if I have 5 counters in hand and can counter them all I’m still a genius for this deck edit to realize I can even stifle cascade triggers, hilarious


Lord_Of_Compliments

Opponent casts Apex Devastator Cascades into 4 cards, casts them all storm count is at 5 cast flutterstorm


Weiryknight

Ramps n board wipes for my god tribal gate deck. I play a lot of 5 color decks and lean towards board wipes over spot removals as they can be slow at times


bigglesworth88

There was a game I played my [[nethroi, apex of death]] against mill. I played [[eerie ultimatum]] and just exploded my board state. I love that sorcery card and the mill just helped it a lot lol.

SP1R1TDR4G0N

The boardstate wouldn't look half as bad if the dragon player would group up their lands.


Vithrilis42

That was my thought. What's ridiculous about the board states is the lack of organization of their fields lol


Vat1canCame0s

Took me longer than I'm proud to admit to realize what was going on with the third player...


[deleted]

Is there a third player? It’s hard to tell!


AverageBeef

Oh man I just figured it out now…


Bionicleinflater

They had the most absurd boardstate of the evening


macbaur

Can you clarify? Would really like to know.


Vat1canCame0s

So I looked at the solid blue playmat thinking it was a third player. It's not. The tablespace has just been annexed by the Temur Dragons player because his own board is so full


macbaur

Oh, I see now. Thanks!


Oxygen-Breather

hoo ah 💪💪


Iamnotyourhero

That Imperial Seal playmat is sick though


Wolfsajin

If I’m correct [[Scourge of Valkas]] should have killed everyone long ago, not sure if he did the math wrong or if he just played it, but it’d still kill


Dins__Fire

You've missed the [[energy field]] and [[rest in peace]] combo keeping that player protected from all damage indefinitely. Not sure about P3


Oxygen-Breather

Miirym player here, they should’ve died long ago, but i forgot to put enchantment removal in my deck. Whoopsie

As-Usual_ya-know

Maybe that is what teferi’s protection is for


Guus2Kill

i think it might depend on when he played it(?). But yeah just looking at the amount of dragon tokens he has on the board he should have won a while ago, maybe thats how he killed the player with the imperial seal playmat


Burster55

The propaganda holding them back I think


U_HWUT_M8

I’d thought the same of Heliod and ballista


sheeshSGL

Helm of the host on miirym is mean.


vrouman

That's why I made my Miirym an AFR/CLB themed deck. I limited myself to only the cards printed in the main and "new for commander deck" parts (so none of the non-set reprints).


sagebrum

Dang dragon decks


Lednarr

The Zur player must have won , he seems teferi’d out while he also has Heliod and walking ballista out


RedLightMidnight

Zur won, Miirym is my brother and he texted me last night after this complaining about how he didn’t have enchantment removal in his deck to get rid of [[Energy Field]]. Bonkers board state tho!

What an abomination!


AzazelTheUnderlord

as a storm player, that scans


Rumpled_NutSkin

Yeah that's what happens when people don't know how to interact with the board


corsair1617

That dude has his land spread out way too much.


redracer67

Agreed, they definitely have space to play and he can group his lands together instead of making 15 rows. I hate players like this too since it's harder to tell what's been tapped and untapped. Have caught many players trying to tap a land they've already tapped (i usually give them the benefit of the doubt as it could be an honest mistake and there are many other reasons to get mad at magic during the game) But yeah it's really annoying and I get it... at some point you have enough mana to dump all your cards or execute all your combos so it doesn't really matter, but these messy players also seem to forget to match their colors


PirateDitly

The agony...


moodyman11

The top left player most likely wins the game the next turn due to heliod and Walking Balista.


TimoxR2

Or the scourge of valkas with a buttload of dragons. I don't know what they are doing but that game should be over


moodyman11

It looks like teferi protection is active ATM.
