Casual Dirty combo
The Kitchen Table forum
Posted on March 3, 2018, 10:36 a.m. by UrbanGirlScout
Hi all,
i was discussing some combos i have put in casual decks that turned out to be a little to dirty for the kitchen table. For example Siren's Call and Festival is a turn card combo board wipe.
What have you guys done or seen that turned out to be a little to extreme for the casual group? This actually turned out to be a good debate between my friends and i as we thought long and hard about the stuff we have seen.

cdkime: Isochron Scepter is instants only.
But you could just use Panoptic Mirror. Throw in a Hive Mind + Angel's Grace and people can't lose due to the subgames.

So it is. Thats what I get for trusting my memory without verifying!

i need to figure out a new deck or two really, i was looking through some of my decks and realized i havent done something new in a long time. Really just made tweaks with last few sets.

There are some fun, unusual win conditions out there that are fun to pilot and build. At my kitchen table, we have some, Door to Nothingness, Spawnsire of Ulamog, Coalition Victory, and Donateing (or its adorable clone, Harmless Offering), a lose condition decks, all of which are decidedly entertaining.

I'm toiling around with mono green mana ramp into endrazli. Cards like wild growth and other enchant lands that specifically state when enchanted land becomes tapped.
Hopefully use that to roll into some mean big dudes.
I guess I could also use it to do some all green aggro, maybe look for hurricane to end the game

Panoptic Mirror and River's Rebuke. 'Oh, you just can't ever again play Nonland Permanents. Sucks to be you!

Sulk, that sir is a nasty combo!
I like it. im getting ready to do my next card spotlight video for my channel and was going to do something around combos after this thread....i believe this may make that list.

Can I just point out that if you're going to put any spell on a Panoptic Mirror, why not just stick a Temporal Manipulation under it and just take an extra turn every turn?

Because as a kitchen table player in SA, it is much harder to get the cards you want, unless you want to pay card kingdoms minimum $25 dollar shipping fee alone.

I don't know where that is, unless you're talking about South Australia. And have you tried eBay? You can get cards with like $1.50 shipping. Plus if you used Time Warp over Temporal Manipulation, it would be a bucketload cheaper to buy.

Pretty much. The only sight that's reliable is Topdeck MTG, which is nice, but doesn't often have every card you need. Also, it has a minimum card price of about $0.50, and you can only buy up to 4 cards of a name at a time.

I built a deck that would consistently reanimate Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, or something similarly game-winning, on turn one. I was politely asked never to play that deck again.
The single most degenerate combo I can think of would be Isochron Scepter, Paradox Engine, mana rocks, and Shahrazad. Nothing could be worse than infinite subgames.
