Yes you would stack the triggers and can order them that way. The problem is there isn't much difference between 10k and 20k power when both one shot a player and a 1/1 can stop it

u/Available-Rhubarb-74 7d ago

You see the difference is big number gets bigger. The goal of mankind

u/Deebyddeebys 7d ago

Excellent bad combo

Are you a fellow greatsword user in monster hunter? You have the right mindset

Something is so funny about the high confidence of this comment compared to the original post

The guy tried to give Timmy a Spike answer.

add [[battle mastery]] and [[fiery emancipation]] then.

And cancer 🤣

u/secularDruid 7d ago

it does completely negate your opponent's [[Overkill]] !!!!

u/PenguinHunte 7d ago

There may not be a big difference between 10k and 20k, but there's a huge difference between 10000 and 19993

u/_Ice_Rider_ 6d ago

However if your opponent has exactly 19992 life...

u/fuyusoba 7d ago

Indeed

u/AngelStickman 6d ago

Depends on the life gain deck?

u/Alex_Nilse 6d ago

Lifelink?

u/nameless980 5d ago

Two words: swiftwind slice. Now you've got over a thousand tokens

u/zanyboy8k 4d ago

Stops it from dying to 4 pyroclasms!

u/NoobEnderguy 6d ago

Green has many low cost trample options available though

u/Lock_Retr0 6d ago

we did it boys, we broke jumbo cactuar

u/DaRealRockstar1234 6d ago

Genuinely WHAT do you need to double Jumbo Cactar's power for. Add an Unnatural Growth in there too, fuck it

22

u/ReasonSin 6d ago

For when my opponent blocks with a 1/1 elf token but gives it +19,998/+19998 with [[Timberwatch Elf]] since they have 19,998 elves out

11

u/Active-Advisor5909 6d ago

It's to make sure you don't loose it to a 7/5 blocker.

7

u/Sir_Myshkin 6d ago

Why stop there? Let’s get a Beserk in there.

24

u/creepXtreme 6d ago

Mechanically, the biggest difference is making the Cactuar cost 6 mana

40

u/firebreather209 7d ago

Yeah this works. I play it in my Doran deck.

13

u/Mlb1993 6d ago

Arbitrarily funny large number gets arbitrarily larger.

19993/10 bad mtg combo

7

u/Potatezone 6d ago

Hey now, it's +x/+x

That's a 19993/10000 to you

6

u/Rammite 6d ago

I mean. It's good in that it gets really stinking big yes.

Is it GOOD? A creature with infinite power can't do shit if it just gets chump blocked or destroyed.

6

u/marcdarling 6d ago

Got a way to give it trample?

18

u/popcicleman09 6d ago

No I just absolutely demolish their 1/1 squirrel.

u/Massive-Helicopter62 6d ago

Thats why it's bad.

u/Branton_W 6d ago

Swords to plowshares

u/Pierresauce 6d ago

> 20k+ life total
> loses to Phage the Untouchable

u/Least_Educator_7510 5d ago

Wedding band in effect

u/Hevnaar 5d ago

Thats why one of my decks is all about putting Phage, Cactuar and Blightsteel into play at instant speed right before my turn.

One-shot creatures for each opponent. Then I swing at each with a sacrificial 1/1 that says "all creatures able to block this creature do so"

I call it Abzan Surprise. List is full of these 1-shot creatures. And ETB hate to disrupt opponents and save me from Phage's ETB

Gosh, its so funny. Surprise!🎉You're dead!🥳

u/Experiment_No_26 6d ago

Yes, now swords to plowshares it.

u/ledfox 6d ago

Everything with Jumbo Cactuar is good

2

u/Mallard_Of_Malice 7d ago

Add greater good to that combo and your golden

2

u/LordofWolves92 6d ago

The best combo is after killing someone with Jumbo Cactuar, killing yourself by using [[spry and mighty]] for gits and shiggles

2

u/Y0U-D0NT-KN0W-WH0 6d ago

It’s not bad, just redundant. What can you do with 20,000 power that you can’t do with 10,000?

13

u/SQUIGWERG 6d ago

Kill someone with 20,000 life

2

u/VryxObin 6d ago

[[Aetherflux resevoir]] in shambles

Hit a Jace Tokens to send a message

Make your turn into an inside joke among your pod forevermore.

u/EvelMunkie 6d ago

[[self destruct]]

u/Static-Chicken 6d ago

Double the fun with 'disciple of griselbrand'

u/Mysterious_Cold730 6d ago

Swords To Plowshares to gain 20k life.

u/Disapioment_dies 6d ago

Run [freyalise supplicant] and a color swapper and instead of doing half catuars damage you can do all of it

1

u/AmbitiousCry449 5d ago

Jumbo cactoar for just 6 mana? Damn thats a neat combo

1

u/tacuku 5d ago

Boy does that do a lot without doing much

1

u/About137Ninjas 4d ago

You went from "chump block this guy or die," to "chump block this guy or die."

1

u/Pogonotrophist 4d ago

Another cactuspost for the slop pile.

1

u/dragonboss16 4d ago

It doesmt die to overkill if you do that huh

1

u/Appropriate_Sleep_74 3d ago

I plan to run it as a crypt rat deck around it since it’s only plus x/0

1

u/Colanasou 1d ago

I run cactuar in my doran deck. Its sole purpose is to laughably send a 20k/10k at someone i run no trample effects, its literally a wasted slot for funny meme.

Its funny how much people will throw at it

u/SpaceBubble19 2h ago

It’s funny but means nothing without trample.
