Sen triplets + Head games

Commander (EDH) forum

Alright, I'll post it here and hope I can finally get some answers

I am building a Sen Triplets Commander deck. A lot of sources online say Sen Triplets and Head Games work well together, being a combo of sorts. Could someone quickly explain how that interaction works?

This one is as the cards read. During your turn and with Sen Triplets out, you cast Head Games on the player you're currently locking out and grab their win condition (or some super good cards) and then put those cards into the player's hand. But becuase you can cast cards from their hand, you can cast all the cards you've searched for.

Net result is you assemble their win condition into their hand, but play it as your own.

Ah, I do not tend to play against many combo decks per se, so not sure if I can use that win con strategy. If anything I suppose getting all the best stuff from their deck at once would be winning on its own....

I was probably overthinking it all

If you did want to, your other option (against non-combo players) would be to fill their hand with lots of really cheap mana ramp (especially rocks). Then you can play all of the cards in their hand in one turn, leaving them top decking.
