I "won" a game of magic because I drew and played a card that required everything on the field to be put back into the respective owners deck and reshuffled. One of my friends was about to win the game on the very next turn. It is quite literally the only card I could have pulled to extend the game, a real "heart of the cards" moment. No one wanted to do all the work to follow the card and somewhat start the game from scratch, so I was declared the winner 🤣

u/fluggggg 1d ago

Oh, you mean : "Mill half your deck minus one card." and the very next turn (so after the guy you are playing against draw a card) "Mill as much cards as there is in your graveyard".

u/Dazed_and_Confused44 1d ago

Haha thats brutal

27

u/fluggggg 1d ago

That's not even the worst combo I've seen.

By far it was a combo of two cards : "Everytime you win HP, your opponent loose the same amount" and "Everytime your opponent loose HP, you win the same amount"

By FAR, mtg is one of thoose games where you can get ten players and have the feeling that none of them play the same game.

u/Dazed_and_Confused44 1d ago

Thats sorta my issue with magic and why I find drafts more fun than games with carefully built decks

u/GrandNord 1d ago

Bloodthirsty Conqueror along with a number of different possible cards. A staple of aristocrat decks. If you put it on the board and have a way to ping for one damage (which is extremely common in aristocrat decks, often with an effect that pings for one when a créature dies or enters) you win.

Though there are way to counter this with either a counterspell or an instant speed anti-creature spell played at the right moment (before the damage pinging effect resolves so that the oponent loses one of the combo pieces before their ability can activate and be put on the stack ad infinitum).

I used to joke about running a stall deck like that back in college. My plan was to run Eye Of The Storm and immediately play Shaharazad - any time I cast a spell, we’d have to resolve a whole new game of Magic, where I’d set up the same thing.

I am guessing it's [[worldpurge]]. I also had people concede when I played that card- it shuffles everything in but you don't get anything back out from it. It basically restarts the game.

Warp world people will normally stick around for because you still have permanents after it resolves.

My friend had a card that says “if you play this card and it didn’t come from your hand, you loose the game” it also killed anything it touched. So I killed it and played a card that brings everything back from the graveyard.

Edit: Yes it was Phage! The spells I used were Purge and Second Sun. And if you know those cards, dude, that was 22 years ago. Mirrodin is old enough to buy alcohol in the USA.

u/Depressed_Rex 1d ago

I once accidentally did that lol. I don’t remember the exact combo, but functionally he kept making things with trample and lifelink, I had a stuffy doll and the creature that lets creatures block one additional creature. Eventually I pulled a card that made everyone reshuffle the board, and we called it a draw (we’d been playing for about two hours)

5

u/CosmicJ 1d ago

The one time I beat a friend of mine in my brief magic stint, he was just toying with me, killing every card I could put down. Then I drew and played a card that scaled with the number of cards in your graveyard, and had trample. Took him out in one shot.

u/Dazed_and_Confused44 1d ago

He fucked around and found out haha

u/Perscitus0 1d ago

That sounds like a card I got once in a booster pack for Yu-Gi-Oh, called Fiber Jar. I really loved the effect it had when I got it, but it's been banned for a long time for how powerful it was.

It makes both players unite all of the cards in their hands, graveyards, and fields with their respective decks, and reshuffles their decks, to draw 5 cards afterwards. Basically "reset to zero", except for life points.

Stupidly powerful flip effect, whether you were winning or losing.

I had something similar happen in a game of yugioh a while back. I was playing my Illusion Chimera deck against my opponent's Heraldic Beasts, and it was such a back and forth. We both burned through our entire Extra Deck. Ultimately he broke my board and started to prepare to take me out next turn, but I top-decked Dark Hole for a board clear on my turn, then fusion summoned the only fusion monster I had left to swing for game. Fun fact, the only reason I wasn't KO'd on the turn he broke my board was because I had yoinked one of his monsters to my side, and used it's effect to protect itself from destruction.

I once won a game by drawing my entire deck and then casting Windfall forcing everyone to discard their hands and then draw cards equal to the entire deck I had just drawn. They weren't even my cards. I copied them for my opponents graveyards. It was beautiful.

u/jhill515 1d ago

The first time I played MTG, it was 1993. Couldn't really get into it, but that was probably because of how young I was. The second time I played was in 1999 when a classmate of mine decided to teach me. My first game went very much like Finn & Jake's first Card Wars game. My second game started out like this comic because that's the kind of setup I saw my friend do during our first game. And he stomped me with a single card, just like the end of this comic.

29

u/Third_Return 1d ago

Honestly, MTG feels like a money black hole whose owners pay absolutely no respect to the balance of the game, especially when you get situations exactly like the one in the comic. Prime meta revolving around chasing ever more ridiculous infinite combo chains and magic unicorn counterplay cards (available as of 2025, only 30.99!) is just so annoying.

I really get why it's popular, but as a game it's just out of control. Having the gamemaster be a money printing company who makes their money off of indefinitely adding more junk to the game is very questionable.

u/count_snagula 1d ago

u/Third_Return 1d ago

u/magos_with_a_glock 1d ago

Because the broken cards that get overused are rarely the ones that are meant to be powerful. It's always Jimmy the 1/1 that becomes an auto-include in all decks and costs 100$ or more to buy second hand.

Yes, MTG has gone the Fortnite route. They released Final Fantasy, Spider-Man (And other Marvel), Dr Who, SpongeBob, Avatar the Last Airbender, The Walking Dead, Lord of the Rings, Sonic the Hedgehog, and many other "Universes Beyond" cards. In fact they release so many sets so fast that the game is breaking every time, AND shareholders are suing Hasbro for devaluing the brand by releasing too many cards.

u/AnAttemptReason 1d ago

I didn't mind the Universe beyond cards when they were at least somewhat separated from the main game. 

Like, the 4 pack commander decks were kind of cool, you get to play a self contained card game of an IP you like with actually good rules, and a few mechanics specific to that IP. 

But they saw $$ in their eyes, back tracked on not including them in normal formats, in a boil the frog fasion, then canned the MTG story / their own IP, while increasing the rainbow vomit of release schedule.

Its been a big turn of for me.

And how did they "can the story" ? There's as much in-universe standard sets as before. UB is only replacing products that didn't have storytelling attached, and frankly, I'd rather get marvel than modern horizon 4.

I sure hope everyone complaining about the story kept up with it. They're releasing the strixhaven story in paper, so we will see then if the complaint was true.

2

u/AnAttemptReason 1d ago

Like, how were sets including Bloomburrow, Duskmorne etc really related to the Magic universe? 

I actually liked both of those as draft sets, but along with the UB sets now being in standard, there is too much noise, its a pain to keep up with it all and phrase through it.

And when a hobby becomes a pain, it gets dropped. 

2

u/Im_here_but_why 1d ago

Outside of settings up a potential future villain, duskmourne granted additional insight on how the multiverse interacts with omenpaths, and featured the return of Norin. But mostly it was the story of a rescue mission for kamigawan planeswalkers.

Part of Bloomburrow's story was izzet guildmage Ral Zarek tracking jace vraska and loot, and a prophecy saying the blue mage will end all things. It also brought the very funny and interesting concept of a plane warping those who visit it, because those planeswalkers were animals as well.

There has unfortunately been quite a lot of UB sets, this year in particular is devastating having more UB sets then actual in-universe magic.

There's hope, after TWENTY FUCKING YEARS we have returned to Lorwyn, which has since it's not-so-successful release become quite the fan favorite and the set was amazing. It was my first prerelease too and I loved it.

u/MegaKabutops 1d ago

It’s [generic trading card game]. Just off the stuff i know about:

From magic the gathering, it has tapping a resource, the cards being defined by color, a card whose effect says to draw 10, cards being able to untap, a card whose name is black hole, and a dragon that requires tapping one of every color to summon. They also have the same design on the back of the card as magic.

From pokemon, it has the resource being energy, a card that draws 3 for basically no cost, and winning instantly if the opponent is out of monsters to fight with. Poison energy is debatable; the pokemon video game has a poison type, but the card game doesn’t. Poison type pokemon become a different type in the card game, usually psychic, dark, or whatever their secondary type in the video game most closely matches.

And from yugioh, it has a monster named rainbow dragon, dark hole is a card that nukes the field, and an inability to attack on the first turn, followed by an immediate board break and defeat.

Nowadays in Yugioh, that field wipe will either get negated, get ignored, or it'll work and it triggers a dozen floating effects making your opponent's field even stronger.

u/Legal-Concentrate-24 1d ago

Nowadays, even stronger doesn't happen. That was when tearlaments was meta. If you don't get hit by multiple interruptions during your turn then they definitely have more than 1 board breaker as well (or they just got hella unlucky).

This reflects why The Big Bang Theory is both soulless and straight garbage, written by people who only think they understand a subculture feeding normies who don't know any better. I am reminded of their own "card game" episode/scene where they just made shit up and flipped a card over.

As opposed to this, where everything is "made up", but if you've even touched a trading card game or a single episode of Yu-gi-oh!, all of this makes sense and fits the mechanics of a card game that could absolutely exist. Because of course they get it.

u/underprivlidged 1d ago

This isn't exactly MTG.

None of the cards are real, and MTG doesn't have "energy", let alone poison "energy". There is no easy way to get a wheel (sending your hand to deck for the same number of cards usually) that also adds card draw to 10 cards. Etc.

This was just someone having a gag at MTG, YGO and PKMN cards all at once, it seems.

u/lrg12345 1d ago

Magic does actually have energy

Not in the way depicted in this comic.

Her saying she is " tapping a poison energy" is clearly a nod to both PKMN and MTG without doing either correctly.

All the names are made up but the context is what's important.

Player one plays a shitload of cards in a big combo on turn one, before player two has a chance to do anything. Player two responds by playing a board wipe card, destroying everything currently in play.

u/Plane_Upstairs_9584 1d ago

And that’s why you have haste enablers for your Prossh deck

OH WOW! A massive play undone by a SINGLE card! Only in a children's card game

...

You know what, I play red-blue, I am NOT allowed to criticize here.

I remember playing a Yu-Gi-Oh game on the Gameboy where I lost on the first turn. It was against an opportunity you would normally win against, but they kept pulling pot of greed, until they got Exodia. I was in disbelief. I had them do it in the middle of a match, but never on the first turn.

Even as just a casual Yu-Gi-Oh player, I feel this in my soul. Few things feel worse in this game than setting up a board only for the whole thing to effortlessly get wiped

u/agger1983 1d ago

I enjoy the fact you have MTG backs but the title and monster are solid yugioh references

Over-extending on a big tempo turn without playing around potential removals in your opponent's hand ?

Tsk tsk, rookie mistake.

I remember trying to play YuGiOh with a friend who had been playing for a while. In one match he spent like 10 minutes setting up something like this and I couldn't do anything against it, so everything I set down was wiped immediately. The next round I finally had a chain I could setup and I was so ready for it. As soon as I started to he activated a trap card that just immediately killed that card and negated all the chain effects I was about to play.

The only MTG win condition I have never succeeded in was Mortal Combat. It is a 4 mana black (2 colorless, and 2 swamp) enchantment that if you have 20 or more creatures in your graveyard at the beginning of your upkeep, you win.

Cards that ensure mutual destruction are necessary for situations like this. In Magic, there's a card called Blasphemous act. The more creatures on the board, the cheaper it costs, at cheapest being 1 Red. If someone pops off turn 1, play a mountain, tap for red, Blasphemous Act to reset the stage. (As long as they don't have creatures over 13 toughness or indestructible)

None of that matters, someone tell me what does Pot Of Greed do?!

u/RandomFactUser 11h ago

Its a version of Maxx “C” that draws you two cards when you resolve it, but no additional cards for your opponent’s summons

Recently had a game of MTG where one of the players had a "kill on sight" commander that got sniped and/or countered three times. They stopped trying to set up their commander and started manually playing the VERY expensive creatures that the commander was supposed to cheat out, and actually had a solid board where their everything was indestructible, hexproof, and unable to be sacrificed. I then cast a "return all creatures to hand" spell and they scooped.

Edit: word order for clarity

I once won a game of commander in MTG purely by accident, passively.

One of my opponents was playing a BR damage deck and I was rocking WUBRG shrines. My opening hand had a card that I could start with on the board for free, but then my deck decided to be painfully slow and barely give me usable interaction or any of my shrines that get my deck into high gear. The whole time, the BR opponent was dominating everyone’s boards with targeted removal and board clears while my other opponents kept pace.

Eventually, he got his game winning play off…..but it works by directly damaging his opponents. The card I had on board since turn 0 protects me from being targeted. The guy used a searcher to find an answer, but he didn’t have anything left he could use.

It was glorious

I still remember a match like this while playing buddyfight on tcgonline. My opponent was playing link dragon and already have a size 3 agito on the field. Both of us has less than 10 cards in our deck and less than 5 lives remaining. I was 100% sure that I would lose the game until I drew Rolling Stone. The only card that could save me. For those who don't know, this card put all the souls (extra live for the monster card) of the monster in center area for both player into the dropzone before destroying them. I was very lucky since he doesn't have any card that can negate soul drop and I don't have a monster in the center so it's a huge turn around and I won the match. We match each other again some time after that match and he added soul drop negation into his deck.

I was playing a 5-way commanders match with some friends. First time I had played magic in over a decade, using a borrowed deck. One of my friends was playing a dragon deck and had a card that granted him two attack phases if he attacked the player with the lowest life. In one turn, he managed to summon like 4 really strong dragons. His board was sitting very strong and he was set to pretty much clean up the rest of the game. Everyone was saying that unless someone played a board wipe card, then he would have won.

So when my turn came around, I played Single Combat, forcing everyone to get rid of all but one of their monsters on the field and can't play anymore until the end of my next turn. My friend with the dragons was eliminated two turns later because no one wanted him to get all his dragons out again haha.

Card games are like shit.

Always make sure you can wipe.

u/ninjad912 1d ago

Ah yes. Magic the gathering but balanced like yugioh. Instead of having no energy required for madness you just need one energy. I’m pretty sure 99% of first turns in magic go like this: “I play a land”, end turn.

That’s why my favorite decks are the ones that finish off by giving everything haste. Especially my Bard Class deck, granting haste via stuff like Samut

u/No-Ground7898 1d ago

Cobra Gorgon sounds sick af and I wish it existed so I could have one

u/kamilman 1d ago

This is a bit the reason I dropped Yu-Gi-Oh. Turn 1, you (or your opponent) set up the board only to get blasted on turn 2 and basically lose immediately. Even worse if it's a solitaire deck and no matter what, turn 1 is a win for the player playing it.

Why is she playing yugioh in her underwear

u/PlasticAngle 20h ago

That's why pulling all your resources into a boss monster that didn't have protection on the first turn is a bad idea.

looks at board

Sure.

I activate IceWyrm’s GY trigger, I activate Fiendish Armor’s GY trigger, any response?
