    • @TheMartianBotanist
      @TheMartianBotanist Před rokem +8

      this narrative of stax slowing games to a 2 hour crawl is outmoded by about a decade
      back in the wild west of commander when all we had was an Inkwell Leviathan and the shirts on our backs, the dynamics of multiplayer were relatively unsolved. however, forum theorycrafting rapidly uncovered that the multiplayer nature of the format, at the time, could not sustain the same early pressure decks which were checks on other formats
      what ensued are the ubiquitous value pile and hyper-redundant combo decks which predominate today
      games which *were once* 2 hour wars of attrition between efficient beaters and board wipes were now being decided in the first 4-6 turns, if not outright ending. think of the last game you played without interaction; how fast was it over? how satisfying was the game overall?
      **stax, which once turned 2 hour games into 4 hour games, now turns 30 minute games into hour games**, and it does so because it forces fair play. yes you can draw 40 cards with your great henge but you can only cast one of them. you could storm out, but each spell costs 1 instead of 0.
      the collective narrative about stax is updating slowly to reflect the new world order of green getting the best resource generation and card draw, and games turning totally sideways because nobody had an assasin's trophy on turn 3. but comments like yours only reiterate a snapshot of a bygone format, and propagate toxic attitudes and negative social experiences surrounding what remains one of the only remaining viable answers to the runaway power creep of our favorite format

      @ryuuji7986 Před rokem

      ​@@TheMartianBotanist that and no one played Static Orb, Winter orb, or Smokestack. Everyone had a wincon to end the game so it wasn't dragged out to slowly attack for 3/4 damage a turn. To top it off, they are good at building decks and since its stacks vs Stacks they build their decks in mind of what they want to do and that is lock others out from playing so they have to build their decks around what they are imposing on everyone else. using tax for an example, a thaila deck is going to run more creatures so they arent getting hurt by the non creature spells costing one more to cast.

  • @tajicbladeofthelegion5474

    While it didn't ultimately make a difference, Lua wouldn't have been able to soak up any damage on that big swing from Tyler. While Lena protected her board through Fire Covenant, it still would have dealt damage, so her creatures would still have lethal damage marked on them, meaning that with the trample from Kenrith, Tyler wouldn't have needed to assign any damage to her blockers.

      Arguable. He turns his stax pieces one sided, but he himself doesn’t like stax. A rule of law, Linvala, or to a lesser degree Null rod and ouphe really hurt him. He plays well as the source of stax, but he himself doesn’t like stax.

      stax aims to shut down the most efficient lines to victory; storm, combo, value pile on a good day. stax players see their lives flash before their eyes when their opponent just untaps and plays a Gigantosaurus a turn early, and many decks are just trying to set up a high conversion rate of game actions to boardstate.

    Even though Lua's creatures have indestructible, do they still have damage marked on them from Fire Covenant and the damage would all trample over?

      No, damage marked on creatures doesn’t reduce their toughness, but Lua would take normal damage from the trampling creatures.

      If they've already been assigned lethal damage even if they aren't dead then yes the trample should go over

      @@nicholashewitt9781 This is basically not a rules violation, but a misplay. Here are the relevant rules:
      510.1c A blocked creature assigns its combat damage to the creatures blocking it. [...] [I]t can’t assign combat damage to a creature that’s blocking it unless, when combat damage assignments are complete, each creature that precedes that blocking creature in its order is assigned lethal damage. When checking for assigned lethal damage, take into account damage already marked on the creature and damage from other creatures that’s being assigned during the same combat damage step, but not any abilities or effects that might change the amount of damage that’s actually dealt. An amount of damage that’s greater than a creature’s lethal damage may be assigned to it.
      702.19b The controller of an attacking creature with trample first assigns damage to the creature(s) blocking it. Once all those blocking creatures are assigned lethal damage, any excess damage is assigned as its controller chooses among those blocking creatures and the player or planeswalker the creature is attacking. When checking for assigned lethal damage, take into account damage already marked on the creature and damage from other creatures that’s being assigned during the same combat damage step, but not any abilities or effects that might change the amount of damage that’s actually dealt. The attacking creature’s controller need not assign lethal damage to all those blocking creatures but in that case can’t assign any damage to the player or planeswalker it’s attacking.
      Note that, since all those creatures already have lethal damage marked on them ("damage already marked on the creature"), no additional damage needs to be assigned to them, and all damage can be assigned to Lua. However, Tyler doesn't _need_ to assign damage that way, and he _can_ assign damage to the blockers - it's just unnecessary and suboptimal.
      (Note for Arena players: Arena displays marked damage as a toughness reduction. This is not true: damage doesn't affect a creature's toughness. But lethal damage doesn't require zero toughness either: it only checks for accumulated damage marked on the creature, and whether the damage is coming from a source with deathtouch.)

    The Boseiju wouldnt have been in the GY for the DRS to exile. The cost for channel is to discard the card and the RIP was still on the battlefield at that point. Tyler ended up drawing an extra card off of that. Just another misplay is all this mayhem :)

    Does mtg have any rules dictating that certain types of permanents should be played in certain areas of your playmat?
    Such as artifacts not being played in the land area? I was taught to keep different types separate but maybe it’s not actually a rule. It does make the board state more confusing if artifacts are in the land slot. Maybe I am just OCD about it haha.

    • @therealax6
      @therealax6 Před rokem +1

      The game itself, no. Tournament rules do, but they're basically "lands go below, everything else goes above, noncreature mana-producing permanents may go near lands" - the golden rule is to keep your board state clear, not deliberately conceal permanents, and accomodate other players' requests to make things more visible when they accidentally aren't.

    The weird thing about this match is that all these decks are designed to play under these conditions. So in a way, they are playing as if they were doing their gameplan all along.
    Also funny is that the main stack pieces were two rule of law effects, one anti search, one small taxer, and then drannith x2. There were no moons, orbs, or tangle wires to be seen!
