Re: Commander - Munch, Grizzly, Matthew

I'll let it go if you want, I don't blame you for not knowing what my commander does. You can take the attack back, I don't mind if Munch doesn't.

Re: Commander - Munch, Grizzly, Matthew

If Munch doesn't mind - I'd be happy to retcon and end my turn with no attack....  I'll leave the Lightning Greaves attached to my General however.

Re: Researcher has Arrived!!

Although that will put a damper on the creature I planned to play this turn, as it means you guys are unlikely to play instants or Sorceries...

TURN 6:

Untap:  Untap All

Upkeep:

Draw:  Draw 1

Main:

Play a Snow-Covered Forest

Tap all of my lands except Gaea's Cradle to call upon a Mind Flayer.
https://scryfall.com/card/afr/63/mind-flayer

Spell shock deals 2 damage to me, and Torbran deals 2 more.

Volos has seen these creatures before and point out how to make them undergo asexual reproduction.

One of the Mindflayers takes control of Torbran, the other the Goblin Sharpshooter.

Tap Gaia's Cradle for 7 Green mana.

Next I call upon Ohran Frostfang!
https://scryfall.com/card/c19/33/ohran-frostfang

Volos is unimpressed and produces another one to show how non-exciting they are.

Spell shock deals 2 damage to me.


Combat:

Both Hydras decide to see how much Grizzly they can rip off in on bite. (12 Damage, Trample Deathtouch) Volos tags along to see how his magic will effect Hydras eating and ends up doing more damage. (3 Damage, Deathtouch, Commander)


Main:

End:

End Turn.

Re: Researcher has Arrived!!

Actually, in response to you targeting Torbran, I'm going to play Deflecting Swat for free https://scryfall.com/card/c20/50/deflecting-swat

I'm going to target your other Mindflayer, the one that didn't target Torbran, even though I'll get no benefit from it unfortunately.

All creatures other than mine take 6 (two separate instances of 1 damage, with 2 added to it), and everyone else takes 4 damage.

Re: Commander - Munch, Grizzly, Matthew

EDIT: Dammit - too late to change my mind about the timing...

After your spell finishes, I tap B to cast the spell I foretold earlier

Rise of the Dread Marn https://scryfall.com/card/khm/...se-of-the-dread-marn
    Create X 2/2 black Zombie Berserker creature tokens, where X is the number of nontoken creatures that died this turn.
    Foretell {B} (During your turn, you may pay {2} and exile this card from your hand face down. Cast it on a later turn for its foretell cost.)

I put into play 11 2/2 Black Zombie Berserker creature tokens.
(I also take 2+2 damage from Spellshock/Torbran)

EDIT: (FYI, by my calculations, I should be on 31-4-4 =23 life)

Re: Commander - Munch, Grizzly, Matthew

You actually only make 7, because most of Munch's creatures are tokens, since Volo's copies become tokens even if he didn't denote it.

But yeah, I won't attack anyway lol

Re: Commander - Munch, Grizzly, Matthew

Good point.  Also, I mucked up the timing - I should have done it in the declare blocker's phase - then I'd have got Torbran!!!  Too eager to think things through properly!  Still, sort of returns the favour of you letting me off my ill-advised attack earlier I guess :-)

Are they? I thought by cloning the spell on the stack it just resolved into another "real" copy.

EDIT: It says RIGHT THERE on the card in the reminder text that it's a token. I need to read my cards closer. :(

No, it specifically says so on Volo. Anytime a copy is made, it's always a token, unless its another creature turning into it, like a Clone effect.
