Get My Research On!

Just so you're both aware, because of my Leyline, targeting my stuff makes each of you take 8 damage (2+2 twice). If that makes you change your turns I understand.

And let's not forget about the Vortex, in case you didn't see what it does as well.

Oh no, not the second ability, the first one, unless you did take the 3 because I didn't do the math to check lol

Good point...   Me choosing to deal you 4 damage through the two appearances of Geralf are very costly...   Sorry Munch - you get the 4 damage instead.   I can't afford the 8 damage!

And I don't want a Juggernaut either - given I'm pretty sure Volo has more than one stashed!

You can't do that! That would wreck the math of ME taking the 8.

Re: Still doin' that research

I'm pretty sure after Matt deals the damage from Messenger, Munch should be at 1, but I could be wrong, the math is all funky and I'm kinda lost as to what happened last turn. Not that it really matters, since the Vortex will just kill him anyway...

I take the 2 from the Ooze because I don't think he needs to be blocked in case Munch has a trick up his sleeve. I don't know what it would be, but I don't trust him anyway lol

He said he was hitting you with it, and I'm not letting him change it now since that would put me at -1.

Grizzly:

Not if someone kills off Torbran this turn. Then I'll get one more chance to go crazy.

EDIT: Oh wait, there's TWO Vortices now... Never mind, someone will have to blow up all enchantments then.

Giant Growth IS a 1 green cost spell, I'm just saying. :D


EDIT 2.0: Fanatic of Mogis is dead because of No Mercy.

Re: Still doin' that research

Yup see I was trying to remember why he was dead because I thought he was but I couldn't remember why. I was going to let Matt take it back because he forgot about the Leyline but if you don't want to then I won't argue.

Re: Turn Order:- Munch, Grizzly, Matthew

Munch:
He said he was hitting you with it, and I'm not letting him change it now since that would put me at -1.


You are right - it is unfair for me to change my mind because I hadn't read the battlefield and got hit with payback damage from Grizzly's Leyline of Combustion when I targetted Grizzly with Geralf's entering the battlefield ability... however I did it TWICE in the same turn.  What WOULD be fair is to allow me to at least change the second one - since I think I would have noticed the damage hitting me from the first occasion and had a chance to say to myself - "hey, that was painful, where did that come from?  Oh yeah, that was dumb - let me not do that again!" - before the second activation.

But hey, we're both about to lose to Grizzly anyway, so it's all moot...  :-)

SO - to correct my life at the end of my last turn - instead of the 14 I had writtem, I should have only actually had 3.   -8 from two ill-advised targetting of Grizzly and -3 from forgetting Roiling Vortex damage (and Torbran's extra) in my upkeep last turn.  Which would basically mean MY death in my upkeep...

IF we allowed me to actually revert ONE of Geralf's to target Munch instead - leaving him either on 1 - then my life starting my turn would be 7...

TURN EIGHT
Untap,
Upkeep, Take 1+2 damage from two Vortex - presumably enhanced by Torbran to 3+5.  - Which would kill me, but in response to the triggers, I tap Ayara and sacrifice Geralf's Messenger, who comes back to play with a +1/+1 counter.  Geralf's messenger deals 2 damage to Munch, killing him, then Ayara deals 1 damage to Grizzly, and I gain 1 life, meaning I survive my upkeep on 1 life.
Draw
1st Main Phase:
Play a Swamp

Tap 2 swamps and Cabal Stronghold for BBBB to cast Endling https://scryfall.com/card/plist/94/endling
   As he comes into play, Grizzly loses 1 life and I gain 1 life from my General.

Tap 2B to cast Lord of the Accursed https://scryfall.com/card/akr/114/lord-of-the-accursed
   As he comes into play, Grizzly loses 1 life and I gain 1 life from my General.

Attack Phase:
Tap and attack Grizzly with Geralf's Messenger (4/3, Undying)


AND then concede - since I'm going to die in my next upkeep and I haven't done anywhere near enough to kill Grizzly.

That Torbran is a seriously bad ass general!
