3 blue mana, and I might say player A has the advantage

B: [Fires colt directly at your chest]

A: [Taps 3 blue mana] "Nope."

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

they can cast mana tithe but they didn't draw it. It would be effective against black since they mana screw, but it looks like white is manaflooded.

Although if (for some stupid reason) black actually plays the draw 4 on white, they might draw their mana tithe.

It's not now though it's white, which can be used for healing I think.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is true, but white is gonna let that stack resolve which could give B further advantages, blue is gonna stop that shit dead in its tracks.

Guns to plowshares is the best choice here

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think a gun would make a terrible plowshare, and I once watched a man turn a shovel into an AK 47.

I'd use the ritual card: contract with exodia and summon necross exodia from my graveyard. really the only way out of this mess

You'd also have enough mana left over for two Rook to Exile's to even the playing field

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 1 points 5 days ago

White can play Mana Tithe and player B has no untapped lands

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

3 mana versus six bullets, and that's not even counting the extra rooks!

The ☀☀☀ will cast a "protection against artifacts" ;)

Draw. Neither of them have the eye of the tiger

Question, is the Colt loaded?

[–] HypnoticSheep@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Since 1969 every pawn is required to have a small gunpowder charge so that it can be used as ammunition in an emergency situation, good question

[–] GreenCrunch@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago

What happened to motivate this rule change? It took them a really long time since chess came out.

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago

They're actually evenly matched. The Colt equalizes.

You: checkmate
Me: pendulum summons another king

Pfft a .22, what a weak caliber for a champion's heart. Still fatal

Only a champion's heart? Not the heart of the cards®™×§?

What good is 3 white mana if you have no exile?

[–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Who knows what might happen when he's made to draw four cards

Aaah the unstoppable Emrakul!

It's not possible, nobody is able to summon them!
