4:03 you had it. Pass turn and discard down to 7 then Tainted Indulgence whichever one you didn’t discard. Missing land drop I think is fine if it sets up the win

@@ther3aper561 The 1/1 needs to live a turn however, because it needs to be alive for Hulking Metamorph to copy, the Hulk ending up in the yard is whatever, but if Rakdos animated by Abuelos dies, then you need another Abuelo before the combo can even start

Don't remember if he ever says it out loud in the video but you trigger *both* Rakdos Joins Up when you legend rule away the Hulk copy as they both see him die. A single instance of this combo is 18 damage.

Could put Lively Dirge in the list as a way to force the Hulk into the yard for 3 mana.

@vctrsigma 13 днів тому

14:13 I don't follow the "making sure I have way to get this all to resolve" comment. Isn't hulking metamorph copy ability a may? So you can end the loop by just not copying the joins-up with it. And you already have BM excessive overkill triggers stacked. So it's literally either kill you in response to declining to stack more triggers to lose.

@wurgel1 13 днів тому

he couls also simply stack the trigger in the right order, dealing damagae before returning the Metamorph again. But that requires, urgs, clicking...

Something that reanimates and triggers off legendary creatures dying, which they do whenever they legend rule. It would seem like there’s a combo

@goomshill 13 днів тому

Its so easily interrupted and telegraphed though. I've seen it win through one piece of interaction by getting out a 9/9 archeologist that gets back another way to dig for a 2nd attempt at the combo, but boy does it lose hard to people with 2+ pieces of interaction or any dedicated graveyard hate feels back when a game winning combo is fizzled by cut down

Have had the misfortune to play against this several times (6 or 7?) already. Only won once and only because I was able to bounce their Rakdos, had blockers for the Metamorph and flyers to kill them before they could anything else. Almost won a second time but they had a second Abuelo in hand and just did the combo the next turn and killed me...

@kylegonewild 13 днів тому

@@fiercedeitylink2019 It's not a big deal but it's not optimal to go beyond 2-3 lol. A single instance of the loop is 18 damage (both Joins Up see the Hulk copy die). A second is 36. In Standard that's almost always game and you'll know if you're playing against a deck that can survive 36 to the dome at once and can just add another instance for 54 damage. I'm struggling to see a situation where you'd ever need more than 3 instances of the loop.
