The only problem i see is if my opponent starts first and drop in turn one Grafdigger's Cage. Then the only hope would be Gate to Phyrexia and one creature to sacrifice... but if i play something with Reanimate that would cost too many life points, i can be in serious trouble especially against a mono-red Burn/Dragons.
I prefer not to use other colors in my deck, only cause we have decided to use one color each.
Mono-black should always run Larry Niven's Disk for this reason. Also enchantments.
I like good cards. Ixalan has not found its way around good cards. Until the other side of Nether Void is eratta'd to say "if a player casts a card, **** you", there are no good flip cards.
If your name is Kim Jong-un, then yes. You can counterfeit Magic cards to to the point where counterfeits are essentially the same as the real deal. If your name is not Kim Jong-un, then no.
I'm pretty sure the joke behind cards like Novellamental is they're doing a five-color common cycle of cards that have been functionally reprinted way too frequently.
I find myself to be helpful to a fault. Such as reminding my opponent about triggers, phases, keywords, etc when they forget about them. Even if it is my detriment in the match, as I honestly would expect the same courtesy. Nothing shady.
Same. I've been on both ends of this. If an upkeep trigger beneficial to them says "may", I'll let it slide. Otherwise, I'll point out that they have to take the bonus.
A couple nights ago, I played a fellow on LackeyCCG and it was basically two countermagic decks pitted against each other. He ran U/B and as such got me down to 3 life by the endgame. The game went on so long that I did something I've never done with my blue deck- I decked him for the win. Stroke of Genius, countering his Elixer of Immortality's ability with Disallow, and finishing the job with Ancestral Recall. He was extremely gracious throughout the entire ordeal and knew the rules as well as I'd hope any player would. I would've been happy to lose against him, but this is the only game in the entire time I've been playing in which I can say I won by casting Ancestral Recall at an opponent.
Mono-black should always run Larry Niven's Disk for this reason. Also enchantments.
(yes he actually did this and yes this is actually legal)
