Title: DC18(Retro): Painless
Post by: BlackJester on January 26, 2012, 12:21:59 AM
{Transcendance} + {Sulfuric Vortex} + {Collapsing Borders}

Simultaneously become impervious to damage and grind down your foes with this old-school enchantment combo.

Sweep everything else off the table with {Decree of Annihilation} or {Jokalhaups}, or splash some black for an enormous {Death's Shadow}.

{Armaggedon} would go nice with this combo to.

True, but they could still have other permanents to get you, like infect creatures. :(
I was also thinking {Mana Barbs}. *EVIL*ðŸ'¿

That would be evil. "oh you've got one land, go ahead and tap it. You know you want to"

Convoluted, but an axing combo none the less!

Thanks!  I don't think this one is all that convoluted, though. 

Other treats for this combo:
{Everlasting Torment}
{Leyline of Punishment}
{Forsaken Wastes}
{Platinum Emperion}

Whatever you do, don't use {Rain of Gore}!  You'll tear a hole in the fabric of the Multiverse!  (And you'll create a positive feedback loop causing you to lose infinite life, AKA the hole.)

Also, don't try to use {Platinum Angel} to keep you in the game.  If you have over 20 life an both in play, you'll simultaneously lose/not lose in an infinite loop unless someone can break the loop by turfing one of the two.

Happy Australia Day Spikepit!

Hmmm, can I use this idea with {Blood Tyrant} or my new favorite toy {Withengar Unbound}?

On second read, you're right actually. Must of had too many 'milkshakes' 🍻
