Last night, my buddy cracked Door to Nothingness, targeting himself, because I had Abyssal Persecutor out. Huge flex.
Would've been funny if someone instant speed removed your
abyssal persecutor.
I cast
Expropriate today with both of my opponents choosing time. One was playing Zedruu and his entire goal was to be as helpful and nice as possible, so he voted for time, and the other opponent had 8+ plansewalkers in play and knew if he chose money, I'd take his Ugin and wipe his board. Well, I copied
Expropriate using
Mirrorpool. Again I got 3 time votes. Then I cast it again using
Spelltwine. They quit, but I had the game. I copied
Ezuri, Claw of Progress and
Avenger of Zendikar with
Clone Legion and then just pounded them with commander damage as I was able to add 10 +1/+1 counters each combat. They didn't even let me cast my
Rite of Replication on
Avenger of Zendikar. Man, I would've had more experience counters than the Ezuri player, who had 11.
Oh also, earlier in the game, I cast
Rite of Replication on
Avenger of Zendikar, which was promptly countered with
voidslime by Ezuri. I am the kid's ride home and he does this to me? Well anyway, I used
Narset's Reversal to copy the rite and pop it in my hand. Oh, also, the
Avenger of Zendikar was on my side because I stole it via
Bribery. Then the very next turn he did
Cyclonic Rift before I could have fun with my plant army. So he got his avenger back, which, as I previously said, I later copied with
Clone Legion and won with 10 turns in a row.
I just recently turned my
Nicol Bolas Tribal deck into a
clone/theft deck and it is amazing. I played it all night, except for the one higher powered game where I played Urza. It was like playing a new deck each time. Trying to see how you can copy your opponents cards and steal their win cons and win with them is so fun. It is different every game. No one can say your cards are too powerful since you are just doing what they do, albeit better, because
Nicol Bolas does everything better. It is really fun. The most fun I have had playing MTG in a long while.
Also, with it I won a game against my own Urza and a cEDH Najeela deck. Urza stifled Najeela long enough to where she was not a threat, and then I was able to copy everything Urza did until I got
Bolas's Citadel out, with my top card being
Scheming Symmetry, which I promptly used to get
Necropotence and cast a bunch of crap until I won.
I learned something, though, do not
Aethersnatch your little brother's commander unless you wanna be kicked under the table. I promptly sacrificed it to
Diabolic Intent because I felt bad. Also, if I kicked anyone when I was his age, I would have got my mother fucking ass beat. They spanked me so much one after the other that I would go from crying to laughing, and then I would get more spankings because I "thought it was funny." Come to learn years later than crying and laughing are almost identical when it comes to what the brain is doing, and I am sure that is why I went from crying to laughing. My parents go out of their way to not discipline this kid, I swear. Ugh. Okay sorry, just needed to get that rant out.
