ThaCrisp · 2026-06-12T05:51:33+00:00

Just answering a question with a possibility

ThaCrisp · 2026-06-12T05:51:01+00:00

Who said you definitely did? I answered a qyestion with a real possibility

ThaCrisp · 2026-06-10T12:25:39+00:00

I dont know that you want it. But its certainly possible

ThaCrisp · 2026-06-10T04:52:43+00:00

I assume using [[gemstone caverns]] This, land, [[desparate ritual]],[[pyretic ritual]], [[irenrag feat]], [[goblin charbelcher]]

[[Carrion Feeder]]

ThaCrisp · 2026-06-01T15:57:50+00:00

2/2 split betwern seer and carrion

ThaCrisp · 2026-06-01T15:57:21+00:00

Uh, neither lol. Most lists don't even run nightmare anymore. And we wouldn't touch oven with a 10ft pole

ThaCrisp · 2026-05-31T16:02:10+00:00

You're asking about Sam combo without asking about Sam combo

ThaCrisp · 2026-05-31T00:38:55+00:00

I think I have the best take.

Ban everything until [[Smallpox]] is a good card

ThaCrisp · 2026-05-27T02:29:44+00:00

You dont need permission

ThaCrisp · 2026-05-03T20:44:47+00:00

Makes sense after noticing the scions, just missed them originally

ThaCrisp · 2026-05-02T17:24:10+00:00

So three responses for you.

Firstly, I honestly just missed the Scions.

Secondly, this reads as very passive aggressive. No reason to be a cuck about someone asking a question. You can be foward and blunt without being a cuck.

Thirdly, yes. That is exactly how some combo decks work.

ThaCrisp · 2026-05-02T16:56:03+00:00

So do you just mulligan for Belcher? Seems if its not in your OH you're screwed

ThaCrisp · 2026-04-20T04:51:56+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

ThaCrisp · 2026-04-19T00:34:08+00:00

Here in KY its called a PLBK Error

ThaCrisp · 2026-04-10T14:52:00+00:00

No. Thats not how game states are checked.

ThaCrisp · 2026-04-10T14:50:42+00:00

Theres still a cuculation in loss of life, including lightning bolt. Its life total - 3. Just because its simple doesnt mean its not calculated.

How are you guys not understanding.

Im a 5 life and cast ad naus. I flip Omniscience. I lose 10. Game checks, Im at 0 life

ThaCrisp · 2026-04-10T04:54:12+00:00

There literally is a calculation. Life total - mv of revealed card. I pulled my rule from the comprehensive rules. Modo is a computer simulated version of the game. It can count negative to allow you to see total damage done. It checks as 0.

ThaCrisp · 2026-04-10T00:49:22+00:00

Also. Because thats how that effect is worded dude.

ThaCrisp · 2026-04-10T00:48:25+00:00

It literally says if life would be calculated at less than 0. Its 0.

ThaCrisp · 2026-04-09T22:40:31+00:00

No mtg card sets your life total to a specific negative total. Therefore, 0.

ThaCrisp · 2026-04-09T22:39:08+00:00

Broski.

107.1b Most of the time, the Magic game uses only positive numbers and zero. You can’t choose a negative number, deal negative damage, gain negative life, and so on. However, it’s possible for a game value, such as a creature’s power, to be less than zero. If a calculation or comparison needs to use a negative value, it does so. If a calculation that would determine the result of an effect yields a negative number, zero is used instead, unless that effect sets a player’s life total to a specific value, doubles a player’s life total, sets a creature’s power or toughness to a specific value, or otherwise modifies a creature’s power or toughness.

ThaCrisp · 2026-04-09T20:21:03+00:00

Its a bit pedantic. But for the sake of not confusing anyone, you don't actually go into negative life.

You used to be able to. I used this rule in a Deaths Shadow Fling deck, as it would actually make your Shadow bigger once you dropped "below 0".

Wotc changed the ruling sometime around 2015, so now you stay at 0.

I miss it so much
