Mortal Combat

[Oversoul]

I used to use Spiny Starfish with Tidal Influence as a win condition...

Or, if you've read that one article at the offcial site, blue doesn't even need a win condition!

 

[train]

no - it can stall better than most...

Scroll down to "Soft Lock."

See what I mean?

 

[train]

soft lock = stall...

 

[chocobo_cid]

=bored opponent that concedes

 

[Oversoul]

Hard lock = better

 

[train]

I was told someone had a hard lock on me just the other day...

Zur's weirding, Words of Worship...

I laughed...

Genesis was sitting in the graveyard... so was a Venerable Monk...

 

[mythosx]

he called down the thunder and train brought it.

 

[Oversoul]

Necropotence + Zur's Weirding + Ivory Tower

Words of Worship? Come on...

Why were you using Venerable Monk in a deck though?

 

[train]

Utility - MTGO - not much of a choice there...though teroh's faithful might look better...

Well - I couldnt' have been decked without genesis - Serra Avatar was in the deck...

 

[Oversoul]

Heh, that's great...

 

[train]

I wish I had taken a screen shot of what happened - it was so much better in that he was so convinced he had a lock, he asked why I wasn't conceding and kept playing...

the conversations from there were at a distateful demeanor coming from his side of the internet...
