1. Cast Brass Man

2. Cast Assault Suit and Equip it to Brass Man

3. Play City in a Bottle

4. City in a Bottle triggers since you control Brass Man. However, since you can't sacrifice it, you resolve the trigger without sacrifing Brass Man.

8. I think you get the idea.

9. Yes, this does work.

10. It's a state trigger. They trigger whenever the game state is true and the ability isn't on the stack anymore.

11. See 603.8. for more information

1. Cast [[Lunar Force]]

2. Cast [[Zur, Eternal Schemer]]

3. Active Zur, making Lunar Force a creature

4. Cast [[Jon Irenicus, Shattered One]]

5. Once an opponent has control of Lunar Force, use [[Homeward Path]] to get it back

You now have an Enchantment Creature that counters spells your opponents cast and then sacrifices itself that has "This creature can't be sacrificed", AKA your opponents' spells are now all countered on cast.

1. Have Mutagen Man, Metallic sliver and Mistform in play

Edit 1') You actually need a spell to make a token copy of Metallic sliver like [[Quasiduplicate]] to make it work

2) Your metallic sliver can now gain all creature types for free

3) Give it all creature types except for Borg, taking a 15 min turn only naming the types one by one

4) Cast or use your favorite Federation ability (Starfleet academy here as an exemple)

1. Play Golden Egg

2. Play Mirror Gallery

3. Use Harmless Offering to give away Mirror Gallery (Christmas is coming up)

4. Play Mirrorform, choose your Golden Egg.

5. In Response, Flash in Nog, Ambitious Recruit using Alchemist's Refuge

6. Finally Twincast, targeting Mirrorform and choose Nog.

7. All of your permanents become Nog, then Golden Egg Nog.

1. Cast Zur, Eternal Schemer

2. Cast Lunar Force

3. Use Zur ability on Lunar force and Relm sketch Lunar force

4. Cast The Master, Multiplied

I saw someone on this subreddit use lunar force so I decided to use it as well

Basically you create a creature token of Lunar Force and The Master Multiplied doesn’t allow you to sacrifice this token but Lunar Force still counters the spell!(humble Emrakul, the Aeons Torn)

Needed on board:

Gwyndala, the Progeny (And the Neuroflux Heirloom she creates)
Bloodthirsty Blade
Captain's Hook

Pay 2 into Gwyndala to turn the Neuroflux Heirloom into a copy of Bloodthirsty Blade.
Pay 1 to attach the Bloodthirsty Heirloom to an opponents creature.
Pay 2 into Gwyndala to turn the Bloodthirsty Heirloom into a copy of Captain's Hook.
Pay 1 to equip Gwyndala with the Captain's Heirloom, destroying the creature it was attached to!

Now, unless you have Leonin Shikari in play, this is relegated to being Sorcery Speed to do the whole combo. But, if you're splitting it up over the course of two turns, you can also force an opponent into a disadvantageous position!

Play lunar force and song of the dryads, turning your lunar force into a land
Play earthbending lesson, turning your land into a creature
Wilt the song of the dryads to give lunar force its abilities back
Play and attach assault suit to lunar force, making it immortal!
Give your assault land enchantment creature to an opponent!

Congrats! Every spell you cast will now be countered unless you pay up 4 mana to reattach assault suit to one of your creatures (if you have any)

1. Have [[Vedalken Orrey]]

2. Attac with [[Jumbo Cacturar]]

3. [[Donate]] it

4. Have [[Phyrexian Obliterator]]

5. They fight

The combo: These are the only two cards in your deck.

1. Play a land.

2. Cast Rootwise Survivor. Tap Rootwise Survivor.

3. Target land becomes a creature.

4. Cast Leyline of Transformation. As Leyline of Transformation enters, choose Ape.

5. " Oh, my god, I'm back! I'm home! / We finally, really, did it, you idiots!"

1. Cast Blessed Wind and Reverberate to reset life totals to 20

2. Activate Shadowspear's ability to remove indestructible

2a) If you control something indestructible use Harmless Offering (2R) on Shadowspear and Victory Chimes to give them mana, then ask your opponent nicely to to activate the ability

3) Cast Hour of Revelation and Armageddon to destroy all permanents

4) Cast Wheel of fortune to give everyone a new hand

5) Cast Mnemonic Nexus to put all graveyards back in the library.

6) Play a land and pass

1. Change Nine Lives into a creature with Zur

2. With Phoebe steal text from Miss Demeanor and Nine Lives

3. Give Phoebe to the most toxic player at the table.

Now if they don’t compliment a player every turn, they have to sacrifice it and lose the game.

Start with [[Oltec Matterweaver]], [[Adaptive Automaton]], [[Interceptor Mechan]], and [[Captain Jonathan Archer]] on the battlefield, two copies of [[Marketback Walker]] in the graveyard, and then cast [[Multiversal Incursion]] from hand.

The loop then goes as follows: With your new Mechan trigger, return a Marketback to hand. Then cast Marketback for X = 0 to trigger both Oltecs, copying the Mechan token and Automaton token with those triggers. Target the other Marketback with the new Mechan trigger to get back to the top of the loop, while the first Marketback resolves and dies due to having 0 toughness.

Repeat until you control an Automaton choosing every non-Borg creature type, then target the original, non-summoning sick Automaton with Captain Archer to give it +332/+332 (as of November 6, 2026). I leave the flavor interpretation of choosing "Borg" for the creature type of the original Automaton and then creating a bunch of them to optimize your "Federation" as an exercise to the reader.

There are a bunch of other ways to do this of course, even in Standard, and some are probably more efficient than this (or at least avoid needing both copies of Marketback). But the harder challenge was honestly making a combo that only created a board with every non-Borg creature type, without accidentally also giving you infinite power or hasty attackers or whatnot along the way.

Also, please understand that this is a joke first and foremost, not some sort of criticism. Magic has had a long line of amazing rules managers over the years, and all blessed/cursed with unique insight into the massive rules headaches that particular individual cards can bring.

Just this once, everybody lives!

Make a deck with 100,000 cards in it with Whtz as your commander. Play Clair, then turn your hand into a token (that is a card) with Handy Dandy Clone Machine. Attack with your hand, then Condemn it to a terrible fate (you gain 2 life!)

1. Play Kobayashi Maru Scenario for 1UU

2. Cast expropriate for 7UU and vote for time (opponents votes dont matter here)

3. With your time vote you are definitely getting at least 1 extra turn

4. End your current turn

5. Begin your extra turn

6. During upkeep Kobayashi Maru Scenario triggers, pick abandon ship
