Hello everyone!

 

[Infamous]

i started majikoi 2 nights ago and i barely saw the OP now

 

[Frankincense]

Good morning minions. Don't forget to worship me. =\

 

[xyzapy]

Hm... Since I've been away for quite a while, how long has [MENTION=26]KingArturia[/MENTION] been a moderator?

/me worships frank

 

[Leggy]

Tacos and hot dogs for dinner... simple fare, but tasty.

Now to relax...

 

[Frankincense]

Good good. The world would be a much better place with people like you. =\

king has been a guinea pig for about a year or so I think. =\

 

[xyzapy]

King is a guinea pig for who and for what? In any case it sounds like a shady experiment to me.

 

[Frankincense]

In order to make our forum a better place, a guinea pig whose life is negligible and expendable is required to perform various experiments upon. At least that's what I perceive. =\

 

[xyzapy]

I see, but as long as king has Saber everything should be alright I guess. Anyway I'm going off, good night frank!

 

[Frankincense]

Farewell and don't wet the bed. =\

 

[Shinseph]

/me looks in.

 

[Frankincense]

I thought I said don't wet the bed shin. =\

 

[Shinseph]

I'm sorry franky-sensei! I thought you told me to pour your drink on your bed.

In the earliest days of Magic, when only the Alpha set was out, and there were no rules for deck building, someone made a deck that used NO land, and yet won games on the first turn 97% of the time.

It had 20 Black Lotus, 20 Lightning Bolt, and 20 Timetwister.

The opening hand would have some of each. Cast a Black Lotus for red mana, use the mana generated to cast the Lightning Bolts for damage, then cast another Black Lotus for blue mana to cast a Timetwister. Reshuffle your hand, graveyard, and library together, deal out 7 new cards, and repeat, till you've dealt lethal damage.

If your starting hand didn't have the cards you need, you were allowed a free Mulligan to get a new hand.

97% kill rate on the first turn.

Of course, the rules were quickly changed so a deck could only have 4 of a particular card (except basic lands,) to stop insane decks like these.

A friend of mine used to run an infinite mana deck, he had these creatures, can't remember what they were called, we nicknamed them the flying fish. They would remove cards from your deck from the game, with the infinite mana and a bunch of tapping and untapping he would remove your entire deck from the game. Death by go! Very crazy and very fast deck.

Doesn't ring any bells, offhand, but there's plenty of mill decks and infinite mana combos, and I'm not familiar with them all.


edit: I do have an interesting Legacy deck that wins by turn 3. It's an infinite life loss deck.

Turn 1 - Swamp, Disciple of the Vault
Turn 2 - Swamp, Myr Retriever
Turn 3 - Swamp, Ashnod's Altar. With another Myr Retriever in your hand, sacrifice the Retriever to the Altar; opponent loses one life to the Disciple. Play the Retriever in hand, then sacrifice it to the Altar, returning the Retriever in the graveyard to your hand; opponent loses one life. Repeat the cycle until opponent's life is zero... game over.

With rampers like Dark Ritual and Lotus Petal, you can win on turn 2 or even turn 1.
