Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Since I've been playing this game I've found some of the most pleasure out of doing 'odd' things that don't necessarily even mean playing a strategically rational game of Magic. Things like seeing how high the life total goes by way Serra's Avatar and Multiple Wall of Reverences (for the record, 9999) or squeezing out every last card of storm in a TPS deck to see how much I could possibly generate out of a 60 card deck.

What are some other people's ridiculous stunts and epic plays?

PS. the impetus of this thread was a game I just had where I was piloting a 100-card mostly creaturelesss deck in the highlander challenge. I was facing the Relentless Rats deck and had the game tied up with a moat. I sat around drawing cards looking for a way out when I came upon the idea of Scaleplexis!

Let me just say I cracked up laughing when I was able to deck the opponent with one attack of the little guy the next turn.

Ridiculous things you've done in Manalink 2.0

Trying to make a counter deck for every deck you have in your playdeck folder after being pissed of with bad starting hands and several defeats in a row against the same deck in random mode.

Like you, I had games where the scores were insane, with the AI life totals in the minus hundreds with a deck I made a while back I called "Return The Wurm"

The deck is a blast to play & tough to beat, but when all the parts hit perfectly at the same time... !

Have a look and give it a try: viewtopic.php?p=26606#p26606

My favorite, the game crashes if you try. But I transfered it into paper magic and it is a blast.
It is 60 card Battle of wits. The deck uses Palinchron/Manaflare and copies a cunning wish about 200 times, then you play a Battle and shuffle your hand into your library.

This is for Shandalar but it's pretty great- If you build a deck with Timetwister, Time Walk, and Regrowth, and use all the broken cards (lotus, ancestral, tutor, etc) to build a deck that effectively takes infinite turns starting on turn 2, you can use Tempest Efreet to steal Moxen from dragons- first you wait for them to play a Mox, then you wipe their hand with Mind Twist, then bounce it (such as with Boomerang), then Fireball them to under 10 life, then pop the Efreet to steal a Mox. The ridiculous part was that the first time I pulled it off, when I went into my inventory to make sure the Mox was there, the game apparently decided to fill my inventory with the Mox instead of giving me just one... I got something like 350 Moxes. Every other time I've tried it the same thing happens. Unfortunately, by the time you can pull it off the game's pretty much over anyway, but man it's one of those things.

In Manalink, have to say Elfball. going from two dorks in play on turn 2 to attacking for ~50 on turn 3 is nuts.

I don't know if it counts, since I didn't plan it, but I had a 51/51 Lord of Extinction thanks to a Traumatize. The AI's only creature was Whirling Dervish. He attacked me for 1. Guess what happened next turn?

That bug in the AI is really funny, aww1979, I experienced it too, but I feel there's a bug somewhere, as it seems that the AI can't consider that his creature has ProBlack and your creature is Black and Green.

Using my Green Token Army, I've attacked AI with more than 230 creatures, thanks to Wolfbriar Elemental, Ant Queen and Derangered Eremith. Also I had Beastmaster Ascension, so my squirrels were 11/11. I send my foe to -1250 life points. It has been possible using Garruk to untap Gaea's Craddle. Lol
It is a miracle that the game didn't crash.

Just attacked for over 800 on turn 2 in the coat of arms round of onslaught challenge. Could have been 5000 plus (probably a lot more), but I didn't go off twice with Empty The Warrens on turn one fearing the program would crash.

Heh, that reminds me of the 'squirrel power' deck that I designed. It was a silly casual combo thing, where the goal was to play a Eureka, then put out Deranged Hermit followed by Regal Force, and hopefully draw into more of the same, or Clone, Vesuvan Doppelganger, Coat of Arms, and Akroma's Memorial. Usually the deck lost horribly, but when it worked, one sudden attack with dozens and dozens of flying 80/80 squirrels is just priceless.

I also had some fun with Wall of Reverence and Serra Avatar.
Don't know how but I passed the 9999 limit. At a certain point I had around 180000 life. I couln't make out the rest because the numbers were going off screen .
However, my Avatar was automatically destroyed at a certain point.

Another silly and fun combo consisted of Varchild's War-Riders, Wolverine Pack, Aerathi Berserker and Lure.
Usually when the pack or the berserker is enchanted with lure the AI already has lots of survivor tokens.
Then you cast Berserk on the combat phase and have a something like a 90/90 berserked... berserker.
For the record I got up to 180 once.
It's one of those do or die decks, but when you do it you do it right.

By the time I attacked this Arcbound ravager had so many counters the display had reverted to */*, should have been 16,384/16,384.

The attached picture shows the setup on turn 5, this is the power of Gilder Barin + Opposition.It was doubling counters 9 times a turn.

I had something weird happen on the other end of the spectrum. I had so many death counters on platinum and it got a new type of counter in the middle of the card!

Me to, many times, it seems it gets -0/-2 counters, or something similar, when you take a few hundred damage, I thought you did that to save space so not to have 800 hundred counters on a single card
