Ah maybe it was my sleep addled brain last night that made it seem overly complicated. Though so if a card said something along the lines of "prevent loss of life." It would work? Essentially, Unlike Platinum Emperion which pretty much fogs loss of life or pay life effects. Which kind of defeats the point of trying to set up this wombo combo. Though try as I might I cannot find anything that could possibly work like this.
Ah thank you, I figured that would be the case. Though I thought to ask just in case. As soon as anyone realized what was going on. The player of this set up would be public enemy #1 and dealt with swiftly if this was a legal move. I'm kind of glad tbh, as I play with a lot of sweaty players in the mtg tournaments in my local card shop. So if I came up with this veritable double whammy just now. I'm sure someone else has probably thought of it as well. So it means it couldn't be used against me in said case. Legally anyway, thank you for your fast response.
Edit: I have read up on your edit, and to keep things simple in a non-competitive game. I'm going to self impose a rule of it technically only counts as far as combat/ card effect/ etc... Damage, for the sake of keeping things simple. As the people I play with are more well versed on the rules than I am, but I feel this would cause a headache even for them even with the explanation given. As the health lost in this case comes from an outside source to the usual means.
I was curious, this would be entirely for casual play. Could you take a card like Vengeful Archon, if you had the mana to prevent it. After aetherflux resolves to prevent said damage with archon. Could you prevent the 50 life you would lose due to aetherflux reservoir effect. Since it just says damage, not specifying combat, card effect. Just blanket damage and still reap the benefits of said cards effect of having two nukes on your side of the feild unless counterspelled or fogged?
I know it would require a lot of set up and prep time. Being that it would be a make or break win condition if any aspect of this win condition was counterspelled. So its a high risk, very high reward move if you do it.
Though I'm just curious, would this be a viable move in casual play/ casual tournament (like card shop tournamemt) play?
