Phage HELP!!!!

Commander (EDH) forum

Posted on March 9, 2012, 7:36 p.m. by sshults3

i like the idea of phage the untouchable, but as a commander, NO! i had to rely on artifacts creatures and enchantment to keep me from dying, usually they are destroyed so i couldn't play phage. So then i thought, would there be a way to put her in my main deck tudor into her, and then give my opponent control of her? that way once they gained control of her, her ability would make them instantly lose the game. Its like a Phage Suicide! is this possible?

you would have to Hive MindMTG Card: Hive Mind a phage to make it work, but instead of instant or sorcery make it creature.

I don't know how you would do that. Your opponent would have to put Phage the UntouchableMTG Card: Phage the Untouchable into play by himself or herself. If you put it into play and donate it to your opponent somehow, then you still control the triggered ability that Phage puts onto the stack when it enters the battlefield.

Yeah, I looked into this awhile back, cause I thought it would be an amazingly awesome idea... but alas, I couldn't find a loop hole anywhere. However, it's an amazing card to let sit in your graveyard, just in case some one is planning on popping Liliana VessMTG Card: Liliana Vess or something similar.

The only way I can think of for you to do this would be to get Phage the UntouchableMTG Card: Phage the Untouchable into your graveyard,play Debtors' KnellMTG Card: Debtors' Knell and DonateMTG Card: Donate it to your opponent, then use MindslaverMTG Card: Mindslaver to control your opponent's next turn, and make them put Phage into play under their control during their upkeep, thus causing them to lose the game.

But that's an incredibly slow and convoluted combo, so for all intents and purposes what you're trying to do isn't possible.

Wait, I just thought of an easier way.

Imprint Phage the UntouchableMTG Card: Phage the Untouchable on Summoner's EggMTG Card: Summoner's Egg or Clone ShellMTG Card: Clone Shell, then DonateMTG Card: Donate to your opponent, then destroy it, causing Phage to enter the battlefield under their control. That one might actually be viable...
