Re: Look at this stupid game of Magic
that bone crusher giant thing seemed obvious to me but i probably would have just turned my dudes sideways and lost. or won anyway. i dunno, is a 5/5 ooze that big of a deal? i chalk that up to me not playing constructed

To bring it home to a limited perspective, remember he is red/green so he's going to have trouble dealing with a guy that big on the opposing side of the board.Khaos wrote:that bone crusher giant thing seemed obvious to me but i probably would have just turned my dudes sideways and lost. or won anyway. i dunno, is a 5/5 ooze that big of a deal? i chalk that up to me not playing constructed

you swing with everything, they trade with QB, and take 5, then gain back 3 and make a 5/5 over that turn and the next turn. they have a 5/5 but are at 9 (and your pc is slightly larger)
then they're dead on board the next turn anyway (if they gust then you embercleave and win)
this seems like it's probably worse but you win anyway

Re: Look at this stupid game of Magic
From a "you make the play" perspective, if someone cold presents me that scenario (pass with G G/U up, do not grow the ooze), I can tell you the bone crusher line. Like of the hundreds of such interactions in a 5 round tourney, I'm not able to pull out the 4-5 scenarios like that.
LSV says that "understanding your opponent's perspective is such a big part of the game", and I nod smugly, but like, I'm not remotely there. Given a moment where I'm supposed to find the "signal" I can do it, what I can't do is parse out the noise.

I think playing EDH has ruined me a little bit. First of all, your opponent can always have basically anything, and they can even do a lot of stuff while tapped out. Second, in EDH if your opponent declines to pump their ooze, 9 times out of 10 the reason is "they forgot because there were a million other things going on."

limited is great for this, because once you get good at figuring out what commons they could have, you move onto uncommons
