would help if you got a decklist, but in all seriousness, gigantomancer is too much of a win more card in that deck, and hoping to hit a singleton with a 2 of trap is gonna be a long shot that you'd be better off not doing it.

Got me 2:0 - 2:0 - 1:2 - 2:0 :D First game was over in like 3 turns, was great even though I think infect is the gayest shit. I had to since everybody was going to be going small agro with Mirran or Phyrexia.

[Zilong]

I'd imagine infect can be a pretty quick kills if they weren't expecting it, though with some sideboarding, some creature removal would be all they need to fuck your tempo and card advantages.

Glad you did well though

Yea what did fuck me up was that 1 guy in the top 50 in quebec. He was the only one with a sideboard and he fucked me up real fast with inkisitions and duress's. Still managed to get 1 game and the other 2 were very close though.

Also, this just happened to me on MWS. I thought it was pretty epic.

(in the picture on my side: Venser, Sphynx of Jwar Isle, a boatload of frost titans tapping his Kiln and all his lands but fetch.) I'm at 1 he's at 15.

The dude was bitching all match long RDW was for true players and U/W control was for the people that wanted decks that were auto-play. He tried to rebound a staggershock after I flashfreeze'd it. lol

[Tricen]

RDW is the easiest deck to play. It plays itself lol

[oldoldman]

5 Frost Titans? Rite of Replication?

[SubzeroDiabolos]

Yes Rite or replication kicked so there's actually 6 frost titans there, 1 tapped (original) and 5 copies.

[gaimear]

I was playing a jenky blue/white and my opponent rite of replication with kicker'd my Iona. He chose every color. I laughed.

I can only assume you laughed because he killed his own Iona and every token... right? Not because you couldn't cast anything... right????

[Tricen]

Yeah, I putzed around with a U/G rite deck with frost titans and eldrazi's. Was kinda fun lol, but it didn't quite get there.

[Tonko]

It's more fun to rite of replication kicked on an ally.

Or Warp World in an Ally deck.

Genisis Wave would work too.

For true hilarity, kick a rite of replication on a Precursor Golem, and then Twincast it.

Can anyone tell me how many Golems you would end up with once the stack finally clears?

[gaimear]

75?

(3x5)5?

[Tonko]

Nope, permanents all see themselves entering the field at the same time, when multiple of them enter at the same time. Also, read Precusor Golem's second ability:
Whenever a player casts an instant or sorcery spell that targets only a single Golem, that player copies that spell for each other Golem that spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those Golems.

Any other guesses?

[zoobernut]

Just a wild guess but if all permanents see themselves entering the field at the same time wouldn't that essentially create an infinite loop of golems getting created? Either that or the answer is 90. Gaimear was close with 75 but he forgot about the original three golems created. So the first rite of replication would make 5 copies of each golem which would mean 15 copies since 5 x 3 = 15. Then you add back in the original 3 so you have 18 golems in play. Then you twincast the rite of replication and you get 5x18 = 90 golems.

[Chrius]

I got 228 golems, but I may be completely missing some stuff
1 Precursor makes 2 3/3s
The first Replication creates 5 Precursors and 10 3/3s. Those 5 precursors make 10 more 3/3s.
I now have 6 Precursors and 22 3/3s.
The second Replication creates 30 Precursors and 110 3/3s. Those 30 Precursors make 60 more 3/3s.
6 + 30 Precursors is 36 Precursors.
22 + 110 + 60 is 192 3/3s.
192+36 = 228 Golems.

lllooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllll.

oh right I completely forgot that every new copy you create also creates 2 more.

[Chrius]

Just looked it up, somebody mentioned a single lightning bolt taking the entire group away unless you can up the toughness before lightning bolt resolves.

[SubzeroDiabolos]

Either that or DoJ. But then you can always try to staggershock one of your golem and rebound 456 dmg staggershocks to his face? Holy shit that would be so fucking epic.
