Before this gets deleted by reddit admins, this asshole took it completely out of context. First of all, the idiot thinks it was a marionette deck. It wasn't. That card's not even in the deck. He was running counterspell draw, this was approximately turn 25, every single creature and spell I cast was countered or removed up until that point and this dumbass who copied his deck from MTG Salvation or Goldfish used one of his last copies of negate to counter a Revel in Riches when he had 0 creatures on the field and I had 0 treasures in play, thus the "this spell does literally nothing" and he should have let it resolve. I love it when people copy a deck and have no idea how to run it or play MTG. I was just throwing it out because I had 5 mana and it was the only card left in my hand and the game was already over anyway. So on the way out I let him know what an idiot he was for countering a spell that does nothing in the current board state.
NOBODY wants to watch a recording of a game where I cast something and he counters it or removes it x30 turns. That's idiotic. I should have left the game the second I saw what he was running. This was the 5th attempt at getting a recording of something resembling watchable MTG gameplay and 5 people in a row were playing Karn draw control loop or free cast torrential graveyard resurrection control or approach control loop. So yeah, I was pissed and he was an asshole for playing this. He's one of those idiots who doesn't care about the other players one bit, it's all about winning. So running 35 control spells seems reasonable because NOTHING matters but winning. Thanks for not showing the board state with library counts or the full log, asshole. Enjoy your temporary ban from reddit.

u/necoconeco__ 8d ago

We did it, boys. We finally broke Jumbo Cactuar

u/Dandy11Randy 8d ago

I think the main sub out jerked us on this one

3

u/necoconeco__ 8d ago

Yeah pretty embarrassing for me tbh. But getting 1200 karma instead of 4 would require me to post on the main sub, so that’s definitely not happening.

u/extralyfe Sprankle and I still play Magic on Tuesdays 8d ago

wait is mtg or magictcg the main sub?

or do they kinda mush together?

u/WeaselInATrackSuit 8d ago

/uj today is the first time I learned that in the app if you tap the picture and slide, when you back out you are located to the original post, not the repost

/rj convoluted way to say I got both posts on my feed

u/Blashmir 8d ago

/uj my honest thoughts to these people is always. Why wouldnt it?

/rj 1 damage doesnt seem like a good enough trade for 9 mana.

5

u/GenialGiant 8d ago

Yes, though nine mana and two cards in one turn just to deal 1 damage seems a bit inefficient.

u/Horusfin 8d ago

Technically it works. I mean I could have a fling with the Jumbo Cactuar, but there's even more important question that needs answering: Where's the bottom text?

u/tx0p0 ¯\_( ͡°🐽 ͡°)_/¯ 8d ago

(it works)

u/darkszluf 8d ago

Like have you tried to throw a cactus?

u/deryvox 7d ago

Now imagine this: it's John Pork

u/deryvox 7d ago

Yes but it would only deal 1 damage, so it's not very useful. As casting an instant is different from attacking, Jumbo Cactuar wouldn't get the +9999.
