Title: Why do lookout combos when you can just win
Post by: Varatius on October 02, 2021, 04:49:44 pm

So here I am wanting to build a spectral adversary (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Spectral+Adversary) and stasis (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Stasis) combo deck however every time I think about it I just sit there think using the same set up I can just win. 
It's so frustrating because this is the kind of stuff I like to do is soft lock people but literally every time they print a card that helps soft lock lately I find myself asking why not just have a wincon in this spot because it just ends the game there.

I often face  the same issue. Sometimes I just try to build the deck anyway and see if there might be other wincons that depend on the combo I'm trying to pull off. I think I used Omen Machine (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Omen+Machine) in one of my decks to get infinite turns, basically, letting me hit my opponents with my commander for infinite commander damage. But the entire thing hinged on the fact that I was able to lock the board in place.
