Spawnsire of Ulamog + Battle of Wits "easy win". How does this resolve?
Asked by TwistTim 12 years ago
This is a hypothetical my brother wants to know about.
If I choose to bring in 200 Ulamog Inifinite Gyre using Spawnsire of Ulamog would I have to destroy my own permanents or would they all hit the field together and see a valid target on my opponents side? So that I need only to pick one card to destroy, or clear their field.
He wants this combo answered for a fun way to win. he wants to be able to win though Battle of Wits after having all the Ulamog Inifinite Gyre's hit the battlefield, die to the legend rule, and go into the deck. hewould obviously use Spawnsire of Ulamog to get them into the game.
My bad you could target the same permanent because they all hit the stack at the same time. But you would have an illegal side board and couldn't win with this "combo."

I'm pretty sure they all enter the battlefield and you could target the same permanent with all of the 200 Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre . One would actually destroy it, the rest of the triggers would all fizzle. They would then all die, and from there be shuffled into the deck allowing for a Battle of Wits victory.

oona_fei is also correct however in the illegal sideboard bit. Unless it's an unsanctioned, casual game. Then they may come from your card collection as a whole.

Actually you can only have 4 ulamog because all the "outside the game" is your sideboard.

AFAIK, you'd be casting them all before any resolve. Therefore, you could just target the same permanent 200 times, the first would resolve, and then the other 199 would fizzle and simply enter the battlefield and be put into the graveyard as a state-based action, then shuffled in when each Ulamog triggers.
I hope you don't play against a troll, who wants you to shuffle your library 200 times.

You couldn't get trolled that way, because if nothing would be shuffled into a library, you don't shuffle. Only the first resolving shuffle trigger will make you do anything. The rest will be resolving while your graveyard is already empty.

You would have to destroy up to 200 permanents as you are casting them with Spawnsire.
