Full list of all the cards in this video: bit.ly/3n4Tfhr
Forgot the flash hulk combo
ofc I see this after googling half the cards lol!
Just seen the list of cards this video uses, and I now have a definite additional strategy.
1) From your starting hand, play Black Lotus and a plains.
2) Tap the black lotus and the plains to add four white mana to your mana pool.
3) Use two of that mana to cast Shahrazad.
4) After the subgame is finished, remind your opponent that you have two white mana in your pool.
5) Use that two white mana to cast another copy of Shahrazad.
6) Your opponent will probably concede.
Ah but what if they just like playing Magic more than you? 🤣
you mosty likely also cast at least one shahrazad in the subgame
@@justharry2190 Never thought of that. Great idea!
@@justharry2190 Then to use Regrowth and Timetwister in the subgame to keep making more subgames.
When I was young and stupid and Arabian Nights was brand new, we played a 4-player game where we all put 4 Shararzads in our decks. I think that game is still going on.
I'm actually shocked the flash hulk combo wasn't on this list. It was legal in commander for a little, and I won MULTIPLE games before my opponents got a turn. Only 2 mana and 2 cards.
It wasn't just legal in commander, the thing was obnoxious in legacy over a decade ago and became the infamous combo it is from there. Truly surprising it didn't get brought up.
Today the best cEDH Combo is thassas Oracle + demonic consultation. I think its Just legal because it cost three colored Mana. If it would cost Just one or two colored Mana it would probably be allready banned, cause of Mana Crypt and solring
@@gamedaiv9168 Being sorcery speed for Oracle helps too.
T0 is not T1. And as far as I'm concerned it's only legal in Vintage. As Flash is banned in all other formats, but only restricted in Vintage.
I do enjoy seeing you guys discuss, but since the rules text on the cards is kind of blurry it might be worth to increase the card size. Veteran players know them by name, but those probably know the combos anyway and might not be your main audience for such videos.
Quit whining kid
@@youbluethatone1017 Appreciate the contsructive critizism. Have a great life!
@@youbluethatone1017 very mature. how old are you? like 13?
I do like that they show the card, discuss what's on it, how the effects actually work together, and then show it on screen for a readable amount of time. A lot of channels just assume you know how the card work, and only show them for a brief second before moving on.
And replace the text from old cards with their Oracle text.
Love "Oops, All Spells" out of Legacy:
1. Ritual up to 4 mana via Spirit Guides, Lotus Petals, etc.
2. Cast Balustrade Spy and Target yourself with the trigger, milling your entire deck as it contains no lands (hence the name "oops, all spells").
3. Put 4 Narcomoeba into play from the graveyard.
4. Sacrifice 1 Narcomoeba to flashback Cabal Therapy and clear the way of counterspells.
5. Sacrifice the other 3 to flashback Dread Return and reanimate Angel of Glory's Rise.
6. Angel of Glory's Rise reanimates all humans in your graveyard, which are an Azami, Lady of Scrolls and a Laboratory Maniac.
7. Tap Azami to draw a card with no cards in library, causing you to win with Laboratory Maniac.
I have this deck and is pretty much a d20 roll game with the London mulligan
This deck in Pauper is my favourite because you wouldn't expect something like this to be possible with only commons! Usually known as "1 land spy" because well... you play one land in the deck and use it to cast a Spy. It doesn't often win on turn 1 but definitely can and in Pauper, there's no Forces to worry about!
Well nowadays it's even better with Thassa's Oracle.
I remeber my friend who built a cool win turn 1 deck back in 2006.
Step 1: Multani’s Presence and/or Glimpse of Nature.
Step 2: Chalice of the void on zero mana.
Step 3: Play creatures that cost zero.
Step 4: Counter your own creatures to draw your deck with Multani’s Presence and build up storm counter.
Step 5: Get free mana from Elvish Spirit Guide, Simian Spirit Guide and Lotus petal.
Step 6: Grape shot or Brain freeze
Step 7: ????????
Step 8: Profit
I was expecting Hive Mind, but I was expecting the Summer Bloom version to be mentioned.
Surprised ThOracle wasn't mentioned with Consult. If we are giving assumed access to mana, Swamp, Petal, Petal, ThOracle + Consult, win.
No mention of Flash Hulk combo seems almost criminal.
Videos like this hopefully help newer players understand why a lot of the old expensive cards were so broken.
Hey I’ve got one!
1. Swamp
2. Dark Ritual
3. Altar of the Brood
4. Heartless Summoning
5. Free Myr retriever
-> it dies
6. second myr retriever
-> it dies
-> it brings back the first myr retriever
… you mill infinitely due to Altar of the brood on turn one.
-credit to badboygaming on CZcams.
One of the best T1 (and sometimes T0) combos I know of is Flash Hulk. Flash in a Protean Hulk, it dies immediately, then you go get 4 Disciple of the Vault and any number of X cost X/X artifact creatures from your deck, which immediately die as a state based effect, and shotgun down your opponent's life total
Yeah this is probably the fastest kill in Magic. You can also get Body Double, Reveillark, Mogg Fanatic, and Viscera Seer.
Elvish/Simian Spirit Guide -> Elvish/Simian Spirit Guide -> Manamorphose for 1U -> Flash -> Protean Hulk -> Get Viscera Seer and Body Double (copying Protean Hulk) -> sacrifice Body Double to Seer -> Go get Fanatic and Reveillark -> Sac Fanatic to deal 1 damage to anything, then sac Reveillark -> Get back Fanatic and Body Double with Reveillark -> Use Body Double to copy Reveillark -> repeat
You can do this on your opponent's upkeep if you're going second. You really only need Flash and Protean Hulk to execute the combo with a way to produce 1U, so the Spirit Guides and Manamorphose are entirely unnecessary. People have played the combo with Gemstone Caverns to get the turn 0 win, or just good ol' fashion Black Lotus.
The version with Disciple of the Vault and 0 mana artifact creatures is harder to disrupt, but it takes up a larger portion of your deck. There's a few other variants out there, but obviously the combo is banned/restricted in every format, so you just don't see it very often.
With a little luck (namely opening hand gemstone cavern or two) it can Flash Hulk can actually win on turn 0.
@@anthonyhansel9175two gemstone caverns will do nothing for you. They enter at the same time and due to legend rule 1 dies before you can make mana. In legacy it was gemstone cavern plus spirit guide
My personal favorite is the turn 1 win that doesn't win on turn 1. I played a reanimator deck that ran Painter Servant and Iona, Shield of Emeria. Very rarely I could get them both out on first turn but when I could it was hilarious. Painter Servant makes it so that "all cards that aren't on the battlefield, spells, and permanents are the chosen color in addition to their other colors" and Iona makes it so that spells of a chosen color can't be cast by opponents.
Does that affect colorless as well?
@@BaronSengir1008 Yes, everything becomes the color chosen when you play Painter Servant, even colorless cards. The only thing your opponents can play after that combo comes out are lands.
Thassa oracle + demonic consultation/tainted pact combo is doable, wins on turn 1 or 0 even. Use gemstone cavern + 1 land or ritual to get 1 black mana and 2 blue mana, and your are basically done
thoracle consult is one of the best, just need to get to 2 blue mana and one black and gg
I have a suggestion for your channel, lower your audio inputs. Your mics regularly start clipping in your videos distorting your audio. There's also a lot of reverb in your recordings making everything echo. Lowering your mic input volume then normalizing it in post production will vastly improve your audio. Doing so will make your videos a lot more enjoyable to listen to.
Thanks for the tip!
Nice to see a fellow sound homie
Sounded fine to me, yet I'm just a normal person.
It's hard to pull off because you need exactly these 6 cards, but I guess it works :
Swamp into Dark ritual, into Heartless summoning and Altar of the brood. Then play two myr retriever for infinite mill. Actually doable in legacy !
Surely undercity and balustrade are worth mentioning considering they're constructed playable - good and super easy to do. Thoracle consult or consult variants also gas as well as storm variants in legacy are personal favourites
I remember that there was a proposed Turn Zero kill when Grand Prix Flash happened (the Legacy GP that was won by and subsequently got Flash banned): Gemstone Caverns on you opp's turn 1, exile a Spirit Guide, Flash in Protean Hulk and then pick your poison (mine was 4x Disciple of the Vault and 8 X-cost X/X artifact creatures).
Actually a Legacy Deck frequently played right now... Mono B Dark Depths.
There you have 4 Leyline of the Void and 4 Helm of Obedience in your Sideboard:
Leyline
Swamp (Black Mana)
Dark Ritual
Dark Ritual
Helm of Obedience
Activate with 1 Mana floating
Mill Op Deck - Win
My edh zombies deck once did swamp, grave crawler, mana crypt, sol ring, culling ritual, plague belcher, phyrexian altar. Needless to say i killed everyone and took mana crypt out, i doubt it would be able to draw the hand again but i wanted to be allowed to play it in casual.
Turn 1 Win:
Storm? Anyone? :)
Great to see Carl back again. Looking forward to the next feature with Jamin :D
Us too!
I love the dynamic between you two! Loving your content
So glad!
Oops All spells is a very good combo deck designed to turn1 people in legacy that should be up there over belcher even if belcher is known as THE turn 1 deck it faded for Oops since the fliplands appeared. Any way to go for 4 mana (black + 3) Balustrade Spy / Undercity informer then mill your deck (narcomoebas) then dread return thassa's oracle = WIN.
As a note this deck is a good entry deck to legacy.
Oops often runs belcher in the sideboard because it isn't affected by graveyard hate and the deck runs no lands anyway.
It's also the version of Dredge they were referring to in the video. Manaless Dredge (and its cousin, Oops! All Spells) is only played in Legacy. Vintage Dredge has Bazaar of Baghdad. The current iteration of Dredge only plays 4x Bazaar and no other lands.
Past versions have made use of Darkmor Salvage, Wasteland/Strip Mine (to destroy other Wastelands and Strip Mines), Dryad Arbor (for paying flashback costs or getting Bridge from Below triggers), and Petrified Field.
Fun T0 upkeep one which needs no mana but is completely non-viable is 4x Chancellor of the Dross with 2x Soulspike, revealing all the Chancellors and then picking them to cast the spikes.
I loved to play Belcher in legacy years ago. I had a version with dark ritual 😂
Imagine doing that show and tell combo just for the opponent to put a platinum angel on the field.
I would frickin cry
or a Chronotog
To be fair: If you played "summoner's Pact" after your opponent drops a Plat Angel from your show and tell onto the field. You deserve to lose.
Platinum Angel doesn't "WIN" them the game. It just means that instead of playing Summoner's Pact you either: A) Don't play any instant or sorcery OR b) play a different instant or sorcery.
Remember stack order.
You play::
lotus > it resolves
Show and tell> it resolves with you picking Hive mind and them picking Angel. Neither player knows what the other picked until it resolves.
So at this point on the board is:
Your Hive Mind and their P. Angel
you have summoner's pact in hand+4 more cards. Let's assume one of them is a land.
your other 3 cards can be anything.
You're playing Simic at the very least.
If your opening hand is:
Lotus>Show and Tell>Hivemind>Summoner's Pact>Island> Unsummon(or Fading Hope or Seal of Removal...etc) > Anything else
Your turn one play order is:
Lotus > Show and tell (Hivemind for your and P. Angel for them)> Island > unsummon targeting the angel (they copy unsummon with only legal target of P. angel) > "Summoner's Pact" > you win. Their platinum angel means nothing as you show and tell and get it returned to their hand before they are forced to pay the upkeep cost of summoner's pact.
If your opponent plays P. Angel from your show and tell. You play the game as normal and choose not to play the "summoner's pact"
Benefiting from getting to copy any instants/sorceries they play.
Another "Solution" to the P. Angel would be:
t1(yours): Lotus > Show and tell (hivemind + angel) > Lotus > Summoner's Pact > Reclaimation sage (from summoner's pact) (this is a two black lotus set up)
basically. they played Angel expecting the Summoner's pact. You responded by main phase playing summoner's pact grabbing reclaimation sage from your deck. dropped a second lotus, cracked it for 3 green, played the sage targeting plat. Angel. Now your opponent is forced to pay 4CMC before their first main phase, Only required 1 additional card to counter the angel. (Second black lotus) (I mean we're playing a game mode with black lotus legal...so you'd have 4 in deck
could even do the combo with: show and tell, hivemind, slaughter pact, lotus, O-cost creature (or land+1cmc creature)
basically: Lotus>Show and tell>Hivemind / they picked P. angel > Slaughter pact targeting P. angel > they are forced to play the Slaughter pact with only 1 legal target their angel. THEIR slaughter pact resolves first, giving your slaughter pact no legal target. (total cards needed in hand turn 1: 4)
or
Lotus>Show and tell>Hive / they picked a non-creature > 0 cost creature > slaughter pact > they die on their upkeep. (total cards needed turn 1: 5)
or
lotus> Show and tell> Hive / non-creature> land > 1 CmC creature > Slaughter pact > they die. (total needed: 6)
Doing it this way is slightly less reliable since it relies on a few factors:
1) your opponent choosing to place a creature on the field [4 card version] (even if it has indestructible, it still works.)
2) you having 5 exact cards in opening hand [ 5 card version]
3) you having 6 exact cards in opening hand [ 6 card version]
But doing it this way puts you at 0 risk from P. angel AND gives the added benefit of being Dimir rather than Simic. Allowing you to include Dark Ritual Shenangians as well as allowing you to include Professor Onyx as an alternative combo with hive mind (every time your opponent plays an instant or sorcery you'll trigger her magecraft and copy their instant or sorcery.)
@@Dari300ra tldr. I never mentioned summoners pact I just said show and tell combo. If you played show and tell and opponent drops a plat angel you are down several cards and opponent has a 5 turn clock on board. It's just a shit position.
That’s why the hive mind version doesn’t get played in the formats S&T is legal. Omniscience is usually the better play. Old Omnitel deck (like pre Dig through time) could go Sol land, petal, S&T, drop omniscience, Emter the Infinite, and then wish for Release the Ants with another Enter or an Emrakul on top
My favorite, though not feasible:
1) Swamp
2) Quadruple Dark Ritual
3) Lightning Greaves
4) Phage, the Untouchable
5) Equip greaves to Phage
6) Attack w/ Haste
7) Win
Bomberman: Lotus and land/mox for Auriok Salvagers. Pearl Mox or white land and either SSG or ESG to recur lotus for infinite mana, use whatever x spell to win.
Using Lotus Petal, Dark Ritual, Chrome Mox, Agadeem The Undercrypt, Cabal Ritual, ESG/SSG or Turntimber Serpentine Wood to reach 4 mana including 1 black. That allows you to play Balustrade Spy or Undercity Informer (with a spare mana to sacrifice himself). Both does the same effect, they mill your entire deck (since you play no land), pop 4 narcomoebas, you sac 3 of them to flashback Dread Return targetting Thassa's Oracle. The deck is extremely consistent (you play 8 of the creatures that allows you to mill yourself, and a great amount of ways to generate the 4 manas needed) and plays pacts of negations and some discard effects, to make sure you can safely combo. A more stable and less mana-demanding version of belcher (that you can play in the sideboard in case your opponent focus a bit too much on hating your graveyard) :)
I miss playing OG modern Amulet Titan.
Rare but beautiful 6 card turn 1 win:
Turn 1 - Simian Spirit Guide, Amulet, Simic Growth Chamber, Summer Bloom, 3x Growth Chamber, Hivemind, Summoner's Pact, pass.
Two of those cards are now banned 🥲 that deck was good fun!
I subscribed for the sub goal. Gotta see the cup with Thoralf's face
My favorite turn 1 scoop combo is Dark Ritual into Entomb into any 2MV or less reanimate effects like Goryo. I personally recommend OG Nicol Bolas.
Currently in Pauper we have One Land Spy; with a hand containing the land card (in this case Woodland Chasm) or Land Grant (to search the land so it does not hinder us), Lotus Petal, 2 Dark Rituals, Balustrade Spy, and Songs of the Damned.
With that you can win on the very first turn as well.
Bridge dredge used to be able to pull off a turn 1 win in extended with a gemstone caverns. I don't remember the combo but I remember I had the deck built freshman year of college
I had a potential turn 1 combo in a standard in the first kamigawa, with a haste red creature and 2 burning shoals with 2 expensive red cards in hand to give it the +20 you needed. lol
One of my favorite kills was tireless tribe and about face. 2 common I mana drop cards that allowed you to swing for 21 on turn 2
My favorite t1 win is mono red dragon storm. You need a perfect hand, especially in the edh but it's really fun when you drop 5 red rituals and cast dragonstorm fetch either 4 scourge of valkas and lathlass or in edh grab scourge, terror of the peaks, lathlass, and any other 2 dragons.
Ah interesting #1. I was hoping hive mind would make the list :) - here is an old sequence that was legal in modern:
T1 -exile simian spirit guide, play amulet of vigor
-play simic growth chamber, untap it, tap it for UG, bounce simic growth chamber
-summer bloom, play simic to get 6 mana
-hivemind, summoner pact
Requires the perfect 6, but was possible. I never hit this in a tournament, but I used to dream of getting this hand 😂
Before ponder and other cards were banned in modern I used to play red/blue hivemind with all the pacts. Using simian spirit guide, 2 rite of flame and seething song, you could play blue land, then cast hivemind on turn one. For your last card, any pact would do. I never got a turn one win, but this combo works on every opponent in multiplayer. I called this deck teriyaki because I spilt coffee on it and it made the cards smell like soy sauce. Some fun interactions include players skipping their next turn after you go off, casting pact of negation while controlling hivemind, and casting hivemind and then passing turn. It's a fun card all on it's own.
I don't know why, the whole "but then you could pact" exchange is so entertaining
The Dragonstorm gold-border world champion deck, normally won on turn 3, but had a tiny chance for a turn 1 kill
Mountain
Rite of Flame + Seething song (couple different ways to use 4-5 total for at least 9 mana)
Dragonstorm, 4 bogardan hellkites for 20 damage to the face, shore up any more needed with hunted dragons for 6 flying haste each
Thoracle consult is a thing in commander. you just need 3 coloured mana for it.
land, chrome mox, mox diamond. thassa's oracle, with the trigger on the stack you cast demonic consultation and name whatever card is not in your deck (you are already dead is a classy one) and win off of the thoracle trigger.
When it was legal, Gemstone Cavern, any Spirit Guide, Flash and Hulk, you can win on your opponents upkeep. Turn 0.
I pulled off the archive trap one back during Zendikar standard.
I used to have a bottom turn 1 combo that almost always wound up with my opponent scooping, but it was like 5 cards.
They play any basic land.
I play Swamp, Lotus Petal
Lotus petal for green, animate their land
Tap swamp, double dark ritual, eradicate their land.
Mono decks were practically dead in the water, and dual colored decks had a VERY hard time coming back.
In Pauper, there is a glass cannon combo deck called One Land Spy, which can win on t1 with very specific hands.
You start with lotus petal, dark ritual x3, the single land in your deck, balustrade spy and haunting misery.
Start with all your fast mana, then cast balustrade spy, using it to mill your whole deck. Then you cast haunting misery, exile all creatures in your graveyard to deal that much damage to the opponent.
Pauper Hot Dogs that aims for T1K is very fun.
Mountain, Simian Spirit Guide, Rite of Flame, Kiln Fiend, Rite of Flame, expedite, Assault Strobe. Attack for lethal before they make a land drop.
An alternative in the same deck is:
Mountain, Rite of Flame, Rite of Flame, Immolating Soul Eater, Expedite, Assault Strobe. Pay 18 life into Soul eater on connect.
I love that the Expedites let you lucksack into one of your many pieces of double strike
I can pull off otk with Jhoira Weatherlight Captain in edh if I draw the right cards. There might be a gemstone cavern in there, a mana crypt/mana vault in there. There's also helm of awakening, sensei's diving top, and a way to make 2 mana turn 1 to start with and you can easily win from there
I love Fastbond t1 combos, with fetchlands and Crucible of Worlds and whatnot
I would laugh so hard for the number 1 spot if they reveal 4 elvish spirit guides
glimpse of nature with 0 drop artifact creatures and lotus petals. then you just need that gain/lose life card with storm
Interresting.
Bit surprised the worldgorger dragon animate dead combo isnt in there.
Thats my favourite. But the show and tell seems cool a f
I love the Myr mil deck using brood.
Black Lotus, Minion of the Mighty, Reckless charge and have Terror of Mount Velus in your hand. Also need another 1 red mana pump card for +3 power. Since I don't have a Black Lotus, I play a similar combo in a R/G deck with Scale Up as my pumper. This leads to a lot of turn two kills.
My favorite is still 1 swamp, play a dark ritual, use the the mana on an altar of the brood and a heartless summoning. All your creatures now cost 2 less and have -1/-1, and when they ETB your opponent mills one. Then you just play two myr retrievers, returning each other from the graveyard over and over as they die to heartless summoning, milling your opponent one card for each time you play one.
For turn 1 lots of mana you have: Simian Spirit Guide + Elvish Spirit Guide + Manamorphose + Dark Ritual -> 4 cards = 4 mana and 1 of them is from a color of your choice. So every up to 5 card combo can be done with that. Up to 5 because you need those 4 cards, so you have 3 left in your hand -> 4 if you go second -> 5 with manamorphose.
Legacy leylines was a deck I always enjoyed watch when viewing coverage. It was trying really hard to win on turn 1 mostly. Basically any deck that was running 4x serum powder
That deck is hilarious lmao
This video format is very good
not really a turn 1, but it would fit the honorable mentions.
this actually happened to me. My opponent started with leyline of sanctity which gives the player hexproof, I was playing a milling deck that only has one spell that doesn't target a player and no removal as the deck focused 100% on milling the entire deck as fast as possible.
you would hate me. Since i play 2x Gaea Blessings in every deck.
You have to have a means to mill to Exile (rather than the graveyard) other wise my decks can withstand infinite mill.
The reason for 2 copies is: if i draw 1 I play it immediately to get it into the graveyard. so that the other copy will replace both. The only time mill wins vs me is: a) Leyline of the void, ashiok, or a means to search and remove (Unmoored Ego for example) OR I draw both copies and can't play them (always have a means in my decks to make green mana even in non-green decks (chromatic lantern, World tree...etc)
Removing Mill as a threat just makes for easy wins.
broken mana (read: black lotus) -> eternal witness -> ghostly flicker -> tendrils of agony or whatever else you want (my favorite is jester's scepter)
The 4x Archive Trap game is pretty funny, but I've read about an even funnier pseudo turn 1 win in a Vintage tournament. A guy mulls to 3 on the play while his opponent keeps all 7. But then he reveals the 3 cards he kept: Tundra, Mox Sapphire and.... Balance! The game was in all fairness not over as both players now were in top deck mode with the mull guy being slightly ahead with a mox in play, but then the mulligan guy peeled Ancestral Recall from the top. :D Keep in mind that this was way back before both the London and the Vancouver mulligan rules.
I did an otk opening turn during the finals of a tournament in seattle, this was before commander. I drew opening hand; a swamp, 2 dark rituals, seething song, phage the untouchable and chaos charm and black lotus. Needless to say... My opponent wasn't to happy.
My first ever game of MtG my friend killed me with a turn 2 (Orcish Lumberjack) Channel Fireball.😂 i was hooked immediately!
I liked that the game didn’t need you to jump through hoops to win. Plus he had War Elephants. I thought a game with War Elephants was cool in 1995.😂
I used to play legacy BR reanimator and very frequently would cast turn 1 Iona and against many decks they would forfeit because they couldn't cast any removal or sometimes anything at all (burn decks) xD
I'm actually surprised you didn't even mention The Perfect Storm.
At one point, using 4x Serum Powder, someone calculated that the deck had a more than 95% chance to win the game on turn 1, assuming you piloted it properly and your opponent didn't have the counterspells to stop it. (This is much harder to do than you would think in some of those circumstances)
i've won on first turn once again a friend of mine. i played monogreen elf combo and had huge luck xD i played a third of my deck on turn 1 to finally tutor into emrakul ^^ felt awesome
Nice work!
For 4 black (doable with rituals) you could go Buried Alive + Reanimate. Necrotic Ooze can win in a variety of ways here, but one of them would be Walking Ballista + Phyrexian Devourer. Since both of those happen to be artifacts, you can also use Trazyn the Infinite instead of the Ooze.
Funny no turn match win i had at a legacy event. On the draw against reanimator, I put in my leyline of the void so they scoop. Second game they start with ancient tomb, lotus petal, show and tell. They put in their emrakul, then I put in my emrakul and they scoop. Giving me the entire match without casting a spell or taking a turn.
A turn 1 win that actually happened for me (in EDH, but should be vintage/legacy legal):
Was on a mull to 6 putting a Thassa's Oracle on the bottom.
Hand: 2 lands, LED, Silence, Demonic Consultation, Mox Diamond
1. Land, Mox Diamond pitching the other land, LED
2. Cast Silence to make sure my opponents don't mess with me
3. Demonic Consultation, crack LED in response for UUU, name Thassa's Oracle
4. Exile entire deck except the oracle that I knew was on the bottom, get it and cast it
5. Win the game
One I did back in an earlier Standard:
1) Play a Plains
2) Play Quest for the Holy Relic
3) Drop 5 0 cost creatures (Memnite, Ornithopter)
4) Quest cracks, grab Argentum Armor and attach it to your Ornithopter.
5) Opponent scoops because you blow up their land each turn with Argentum Armor's trigger.
I pulled it off once and my opponent lost his mind. It was great.
This is my favorite but it requires a godly hand...
Swamp, dark rit
Cast Heartless summoning (creatures cost 2 less to cast and get -1/-1)
And alter of the brood (whenever a permanent u controll etb's each opponent mills one)
You then cast Myr retriever which is 0 mana now but dies immediately.
Then cast a second Myr retriever which also dies but allows you to bring the first one back from the graveyard to the battlefield. repeat that loop 60 times and youve milled your oppenent out on turn one.
Sure it requires these 6 cards to be in your opening hand but it would be so amazing....
I remeber seeing a Opalescence combo deck
it was something like play all the leyline turn 0 cast Opalescence on your first turn then turn side way
flash hulk. pile of a 1 mana sac outlet, blood artist, cephalid and nomads en kor. mill yourself until you hit kozilek and narcomeba. sac narcomeba to sac outlet and shuffle graveysrd back in with kozilek trigger. can be done on turn 0/1
Surprised we didn’t see flash hulk in here. Back in the day I remember winning on the draw in my opponents first upkeep.
Currently building a deck around a rather nasty combination that pretty much is able to shut out decks that aren't mono black. A possible turn one concession would be:
Swamp, dark ritual, dark ritual, bitter blossom, contamination.
At that point lands are pretty much just swamps and mana fixing is dead. Follow this up with blood artists, zulaport cutthroats and some more token generation and sacrifice and you will be able to effectively burn your opponent rather quickly.
And since all cards in this deck cost 3 mana or fewer I also run two winter orbs to slow black decks down.
what was that one whcih was Mountain, black lotus, raging goblin, Then you cast a three mana spell i can't remember to deal 19 damage to everyone, then swing with raging goblin?
Was surprised to not see dramatic reversal isochron scepter than ig like fireball or smth
Turn 0 kill is that you declare to your opponent that you play stasis and they will inflict 3 boredom counters immediately
I have a turn one win combo. It’s a deck that cares about running 4 dark rituals and cabal rituals and uses zero mana rituals like lotus petal black lotus and lions eye diamond. It wins by playing as nauseum with all the mana it gains and storms off tons of rituals in the deck with ad Nauseum to kill the opponent with tendrils of agony. It’s a mono black deck that’s mostly just rituals.
Any man who uses the word remiss gets my approval. Subbed and Liked
What about Altar of the Brood, Myr Retriever and heartless summoning?
Legacy spy was my favorite t1 combo deck.
I had a deck capable of winning on turn 1 a looong time ago. It goes like this:
1- Cast Phyrexian dreadnought.
2- In response to the enter the battlefield trigger, cast berserk.
3- Resolve berserk.
4- Cast fling sacrificing the 24 power dreadnought.
The mana... well, it's just a total of 2GR. Any combination of ancient tomb, lotus petal, mox diamond, etc... will do.
fast mana + Aluren and either Recruiter (imperial or of the guard) or just Acererak
This is a bit of a perfect hand situation but so were a lot of yours. Generate 1 mana of any, 1 blue cast Flash, and put protean hulk into play don't pay the cost sacrifice protean hulk, your going to search your deck for 4 disciples of the vault and every 0 or x cost artifact creature you have in your drck and an atog or some other 2 mana creature that can act as a means to sacrifice those artifact creatures, you then sacrifice every artifact creature you have dealing 4 damage for each one to your opponent
yeah I was expecting flash hulk to be #1, since there are literally hundreds of combos that win you the game on the spot
An honest turn 1 kill was even possible in modern when spirit guide was legal. You need: monastery swiftspear, spirit guide, black land, tainted strike, mutagenic growth (x2) and another free spell (noxious revival or else). 10 infect before your opponent draws a card
My favorite ever turn one win comes from a modern deck from 2015 - Amulet Titan
Opening hand needs 2x Amulet of Vigor, 1x Summer Bloom, 1x Primeval Titan, 1x Green Bounce Land, 1x Simian Spirit Guide
1. Exile Spirit Guide and play Amulet of Vigor
2. Play your bounce land, make 2 mana, and cast Summer Bloom
3. Play the same bounce land, make 2 mana, and cast the second Amulet
4. Play the bounce land two more times making 8 mana
5. Cast Prime Time getting Tolaria West and a bounce land, make 6 mana, bounce the Tolaria West
6. Transmute Tolaria West for Summoner's Pact
7. Cast Summoner's Pact for another Prime Time
8. Cast Prime Time getting Slayer's Stronghold and Borros Garrison
9. Activate Salyer's Stronghold twice to give both Titans haste and then return any land except Borros Garrison
10. Attack with both Titans getting 2 Bounce Lands, Sunhome, and Vesuva (targeting Borros Garrison)
11. Give both Titans double strike and hit for 32 damage!
I made a turn 1 infinite mana combo. Any green mana --> Fastbond, from here you gain 1 mana for 2 every 2 life you pay --> any Lair land (ex. Darigaaz's Caldera) --> any other bounce land (ex. Golgari Rot Farm) --> you can now spend life for mana to do stuff or get any life on land cast (ex. Grazing Gladehart) for infinite life and mana (yes, I know Fastbond is pretty much only legal in vintage). If you just play casually with friends and don't care much for the format, it can be a fun surprise when you pull it off, as long as you don't build your deck around it, cause wheres the fun in winning every time before even starting playing the game, might as well just not play in that case :P
Thassa's oracle and demonic consultation? 2 blue 1 black mana?
so i have to say mentioning the Hive mind "combo" and then not mentioning the Sumer Bloom Amulet Titan version really hit me ;D it was a modern legal T1 Toolbox Deck
Mishra's workshop, time vault, Voltaic servant, and another mana source, either lotus petal, or Sol ring.
I like this one because it's only 4 cards
Dark ritual, entomb, reanimated. Classic one
reminds me of my old Cheerios deck in legacy .. winning on t0 was always fun just comboing up a storm and grapeshotting them to the face :D
Turn 1: Play mountain, lightnight bolt face
Enemy: *concedes*
Cause we all don't wanna bother with burn 😂
Blostercoil Weird, paradise mantle, and a deck of one cost draw spells can win turn one in modern, especially if you run a couple gemstone caverns
Oh no. Now I want to build a show and tell / hive mind deck now and fill it with rediculous things for fun.
My favourite is EDH only, but Wanderwine Prophet with Inalla, Archmage Ritualist as the commander.
Play the prophet, make a hasty token copy with inalla, exile the original to the champion effect of the copy, attack, sac the copy for an extra turn, make another copy of the original, exile original with champion, at the end step you sac the token, make ANOTHER copy and exile the original with champion (the token stays for your next turn since you're already past the beginning of the end step), swing with the token on your extra turn, sac it to take another extra turn, and repeat making and sacing tokens until you've hit everyone in the face for 3 to death.
I once died on second turn to sneak attack serra avatar. Pretty sure you can pull it off on turn one like mountain, lotus petal, red spirit guide, dark ritual, sneak attack, serra avatar for 20 boom dead. Just need a perfect hand for that 😂
No turn 0/1 Flash Hulk wins excluded from this video surprised me. That period of time was HELL.
Great video i kinda want to try out that allosaurus combo 😅...
I’ve been playing this combo in Modern. Look up “Neobrand” lists. I’ve actually had turn 1 wins with it quite often. Also The Epic Storm YT channel plays this deck a lot lately
Go for it!
watching your opponent draw their 7 card hand, play and activate a fetchland and then you play 4 archive traps and then they draw from an empty deck is the best way to win
Worldgorger dragon combo is a fun turn 1 combo.
