I did the most red mage thing ever last night. Got to play first in person commander game since last February. Since there were 5 of us, we each played a C21 deck, I was on Prismari.
We’d already been playing about three hours. I spent most of the game doing nothing because I didn’t draw a land until turn 15 or so and someone blew up my mana rocks. I finally managed to get out Charmbreaker Devils and next upkeep got back Mana geyser.
I had such a massive board, I could have just passed turn and easily won next turn. Instead, I deck myself with my own storm card. Out in a fiery blaze of glory. A+ from Dean Nassari.
@Tayatranscendent and so the final attack was @ajanionthespot 's low-key Witherbloom "okay, this little tramply thing has 30 +1/+1 counters; what's your life total?"
Also an absolute flavor win.
@Tayatranscendent Between this and your "oh, I'm just gonna copy and OVERLOAD this Noxious Gearhulk ETB ability to turn it into a boardwipe" I have difficulty seeing how anything's ever going to top this as "most notable commander game I've ever played."
@Tayatranscendent to be fair, that three hours includes dinner
@Tayatranscendent and I didn't blow up the mana rocks. I stole them. Tragic arrogance blew them up.
It was very late in the game at this point and all five players were still in, so I got 40 mana off the geyser and just started going off. By the end of combat phase I had about twenty cards in hand, killed two of my opponents, and had a storm count of 28, which I built up to cast Fiery Encore thinking I’m about to kill the other two players. Then I read the card to the table and realized I misread it as “creature or player” in my excitement over my turn and it already having been a long game.
