The game was getting really long. It was already going on for an hour or so, we all wanted to end it. Kresh was at 50 something life. He used Bonds of Agony and paid 40 life. Jhoira countered with a Scattering Stroke and won the clash. We had a little debate on weather Jhoira would float 41 mana. And yes, during his next main phase, he did float 41 generic mana.
The game went on a little more. To simply put, Jhoira was already playing with a dead mouse. Three dead mice, I mean.
I hope you realize that with Bond of Agony the caster has to pay x mana AND x life. It wasn't clear in your post considering you said there was a discussion on whether the Jhoira player would float 41 mana. If the guy only paid life, it throws your story way off.
You say you put moldgraf back in. But you sacced it before, don't you need to exile it when you sack it? How did you get it back?
Could you also explain how the infinite mana works with just temple, rings, mana reflection and some lands. You can't copy mana abilities with rings. And i don't see any untap stuff in there that would make you able to untap mana producers.
Also i think you should not criticize someone for playing a blue horseman general with infect slapped on if you play spawnsire of ulamog and slap a load of eldrazi on the table that you didn't care enough about to put in your deck.
The last time I won a game, the first thing I said in the game winning sequence was
"phyrexian metamorph, copying nothing".
I got a few eyebrows over that one.
The relevant permanents on board were: Mirari's Wake, Gilded Lotus, Eternal Witness, Rings of Brighthearth, Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker (11 loyalty), and several untapped lands.
I tapped the Lotus and 3 lands to add UUUUUUUUU to my pool and announced Rite of Replication, with kicker, targeting the Phyrexian Metamorph.
(there was a small counterwar, which I won)
4 copies came into play, and copied Gilded Lotus. The 5th came in as a Witness, and got my Rite back. Lather, rinse, repeat, I had infinite mana (actually, I had 100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100th mana, but whatever). I then substituted Rings of Brighthearth for Gilded Lotus in my copy extravaganza. Finally, I announced Nicol Bolas' ultimate - copied once by each copy of Rings (999,999, plus the original).
each player had to sacrifice 7,000,000 permanents, discard 7,000,000 cards.... or would have but for the 7,000,000 damage. Lolz
I love that combo.
That's the most incredible crazy play I've heard in a long time. That's pretty impressive.
Long four-player game of edh tonight, its down to me(Oona) vs Mimeoplasm, like usual lol. He is tapped after trying to hardcast Jin-Gitaxis which i Go-For-the-Throat'd. He has in play an untapped Solemn Simulacrum and Acidic Slime which is equipped with greaves and is at 14 life no cards in hand. I have a Snapcaster Mage, Vendilion Clique, Oona, Queen of the Fae and four 1/1 fae tokens, so i have lethal on board just need to clear the ground for snappy. I play Mystical Teachings for Diabolic Edict play edict and he sacs the robot, drawing a card. I then play Phantasmal Image copying snapcaster which he tries to counter with Pact of Negation, i flashback Teachings to grab my own Pact and counter his. Image comes into play and i flashback edict for the win. Hooray for flashback and for Oona winning with combat damage.
Very good story. Too many of the posts lately have been, "He was about to win until I tutored and comboed out," or something equally boring. Or worse, "I won because he made a play mistake. Woohoo." Thank you for keeping it interesting with good plays beating good plays.
I was playing Kresh against Oona. I cast something turn 3 which was Spell Crumpled. Turn 4 of course he Tunnel Visioned me leaving me with 1 card in library. I draw the card, drop a land, and play Living Death. He just sat there in awe. We lost count at 4,000 or so damage.
So you had a haste enabler? That's an important detail, my friend.
Friday night I managed to G-wave for 14, hit Ulamog and a Mosswort Bridge, as well as few other good cards, which I followed up with an Exstangiate for 9, putting me back up to 70 from 5. Everything got immediately blown up by someone or other, but when it came back around to me I was able to Rite of Replication a Phyrexian Obliterator
(kicker got stifled) and play the Crucible of Worlds under my bridge. Pulled back my Cabal Coffers, already had Urborg out. Once it got back around to me I managed to topdeck Eternal Witness and Exstangiated against for the win!
P.S. You can't Stifle a kicker cost. It's an additional cost, not an ability.
Every time I contemplate cutting Trickbind from a deck for being too narrow, I remember that it does things like that. My best hit so far has been countering a would-be-game-winning Felidar Sovereign trigger, but that's considerably more awesome.
On the other side of the table, Karn is doing nothing and Sakashima has a cryptoplasm out, White Akroma plays a Serra Avatar that happens to be a large and lethal, 40/40. Feeling that im doing nothing, and stuck on three mana, I play Omnath. Turn goes back to Sakashima and she decides to copy my Omnath and not the 40/40 flyer.
She does however eat the Serra Avatar with a Phyrexian IndigesterLightning Greaves it up, and smacks red akroma in the face for lethal, 4 players left in the game.
White Akroma decides, that the fun is over and ironically uses Akroma's Vengeance which pretty much ruins the game for Karn and his ton of mana artifacts.
I finally get out of my mana screw drawing my forth land some land ramp. Nothing happens for the next few turns but some moderate damage, a few spells and me getting a ton of ramp and a Caged Sun.
On Sakashima's turn, she plays a Hivemind with 6 mana spare for back up. White Akroma has a ton of soldiers from a Conqueror's pledge and Nomads' Assembly, and looks like the game is gonna end soon. I draw the most useless spell to take ut soldier tokens... Squall Line... BUT WAIT! the life totals are 29, 17. 9 and 40 for me! and I have almost unlimited mana do to ramping and caged sun! Realizing there is a Hive mind out I need to have X=8 to kill everyone, which I do. And Sakashima says she has no counter back up... but she does have a Fact or Fiction.
The top five cards for the FoF are: Island, Clone, Cancel, Keiga the Tide Star, and... Twincast. So... She casts the twin cast targeting my sqaull line, then everyones copy of twin cast targets my squall line...
8*8=64 Damage to everyone, and the game ended in a draw. so close after being mana screwed did I win that.
Just so you know, each copy would resolve separately, so everyone would take 8, then 8, then 8...until they're below 0 then you'll win.
During one of my opponent's turn he plays All is Dust. While it is on the stack I remove the divinity counter from my Myojin which gives my Vulturous around 30 counters or so making it a 35/35 when all is said in done. Then I cast Momentous Fall targeting my Zombie.
After everything resolved the board was wiped, as were my opponents had no cards in hand while I had a cool 69 life and a hand with 40+ cards in it. Since I had a Reliquary Tower in play my opponents conceded on the spot.
It was a cool combo that I didn't realize I could even do until I was forced to do it.
I'm amazed you let an opponent get to his main phase with cards in his hand.

It's not infinite. You can only do as much damage as you draw cards, which is usually about two players depending on late in the game it is.

I almost posted the same thing until I read the card closer. I've been playing it wrong for awhile.

The ooze taps to make a copy of itself, which can tap to make a copy of itself... Then he sacrifices them to do damage.
