When you are about to cast something game changing and your opponent has 2 islands untapped.
When i -9 {nicol bolas, planeswalker} and my oppenet casts {faiths reward}
When you cant get your opponents life toatal below 400.
{Stupid Life Gain Decks)
Whenu have 5 creaturs and your opponet has 4, your both at 4 life and u swing for the win. Then bam they play {fog}
Turn one {delver of secrets} or {champion of the parish} survives to turn two on the play and hits for 3 when i have one land in play. Thats just always a downhill game that win or lose I don't even want to play.
{spore flower} + 2{sporesower thallid}s
😓
Worst thing I ever went against was a flipped {Erayo, Soratami Ascendant} and {Arcane Laboratory} on the field. What makes it worse was I reminded my opponent about the laboratory, so I kinda brought it on myself.
When you have an amazing board presence and wonder wth your opponent is doing until you realize there are 238 cards in his library and he just cast {Battle of Wits}

You have 2 {Howling Mines} on the board and your opponent plays {Underworld Dreams}.
Ouch.
Your playing a discard deck, and your opponent doesn't have any cards in his hand.
when you have all mana and little to know creatures to block and your opponent has amazing creatures
Whenver you play discard and your opponent has 4 {Obstinate Baloth}

If you are using wishfull thinking to make them discard then why not mill them for 7 with {Mind Sculpt} for 1 less mana lol

{megrim} that's why. Lol. It's not a mill deck. It's a discard deck. Unfortunately people wise up and decide to play everything in their hand and not wait. But I force them to draw and then discard.

More info please. I don't see the point in memory jar.
Imagine you have {Underworld Dreams}, {Megrim}, {Liliana's Caress}, and a {Memory Jar} on the table. You crack the jar, and everyone draws 7 cards (all opponents take 7 damage) you get a new hand, cast your stuff. Then at the end of your turn, everyone discards their seven cards and they take another 28 damage.

Is that the only use of jar? Not saying don't like this, I'm going to modify my discard deck after pay day with it. But if that's the only thing people are using it for...
It's powerful enough to be restricted in Vintage and Banned in Legacy.
Once it's on the table, you are (for zero mana) getting a full hand on your turn. Play everything you can, and then when it's your opponent's turn everything goes back and you've just milled your enemy for 7.
Back in the day, it was I was playing mono black and my opponent would play {karma}. I hated that!
When you hard cast an {Intet, the Dreamer} in a mono black deck ({vivid marsh} with a counter on it and 2 reflecting pools).
When your opponent plays a turn 1
{Dark Ritual}
{Despise}
{Duress}
{Horrifying Revelation}
This did happen once to me.

Any time someone casts {dragon storm} or when {odric, master tactician} attacks and you're playing a deck based on blocking creatures or when {circu, dimir lobotomist} comes into play
When my Opponent got 2 {plains} an {ornithopter} and plays a {stoneforge mysthic} on his Second Turn. Only to search his {Elburus, the binding Blade}
I got nothing and he has a 13/13 flying intimidate trample in T3

Do You people really not see the power in
T "draw a new hand, cast everything that you can in it. Pick your old hand up at the end of turn, and discard anything left from the new hand. Mill your opponent for 7"
?
You are referring to memory jar correct?
You know you're screwed when someone has to point out the power in {memory jar}! :P
Just like you know you are screwed when you have to point out to someone the sheer brokeness of {necropotence}. Oh what! I was that someone. Doh!
You also know you are screwed when the you play a five color deck that only needs one forest to start up and don't get one until you are dead. -_-
*sigh* and I was the one that needed to have both pointed out him.

Don't feel too bad for him, he was running a {Dark Depths}+{Vampire Sexmage} combo deck and had obliterated me many times.

Yes and you would not cascade on the copies because you are not casting them. Once they enter the battlefield they become copies not when you cast them.

I believe so. And I don't think the cascades would be infinite because even when the other creatures become copies you're not actually casting them.
And I was beaten to it... Guess I type too slow :( lol

Just by a second. ;)
The cascades would work, cause your casting without paying its mana cost. Legend rule sticks though.

You're not casting it though. When you first play infinite reflections all your creatures become wanders, but you never cast any of them so the cascade doesn't trigger. When you play another creature it will enter the battlefield as a wander, but the cascade effect isn't an ETB effect. It only triggers when the spell is cast, and you're not actually casting that spell.

To clarify that last point. If you cast a creature that enters the BF as a copy of another, regardless if it is a copy from {infinite reflections} or a creature like {phantasmal image}, it will trigger ETB triggers if the copy has an ETB trigger.
So if you have the wanderer with {infinite reflections} attached and no other creatureson the BF .... when you cast another creature it will enter the BF as a copy of wanderer .... this will trigger the double cascade ETB but the legend rule will destroy both wanderers.

Manaless dredge..so the deck has no land. Trep blade mills whole deck, equipped creature swings for +50~ish. Sure, you get to dredge to replace draws which should save you from mill-out death, but that swing is gonna hurt :P hope it doesn't have trample!
Ohh yea, forgot trep blade works with lands. I was thinking more along the lines of a mill strategy against dredge. *facepalm*

Except, Cascade isn't an ETB ability. Otherwise, how could it be on {Bituminous Blast}. :P It only triggers when you cast it.
