Anyone around for a game? I'm free for a couple of hours.
Using {Kaalia of the Vast}, rolled a 4 on a d20.
I'd play but I'm in class now. Sorry.
No worries. :-)
Anyone else?
Anyone? C'mon, I really wanna test my Kaalia deck against you guys!

Lol really? What are you enjoying about it? xD
I dunno. This mono-Blue just seems less stupid to go against than others I've faced.

Well, I've tried to make it so that it's less "insta-kill" you and more stall and stall, so thanks. xD
Btw, done with your turn? Or are you still going to cast Closet, etc?
The Closet's still there. :-)
Alright! My turn. =3
Untap, Upkeep, sacrifice Chasm, Draw

Probably can't do much else, now that you have that emblem out. :-/
Also, I'll tap all 3 of my wizards to draw 3
Your turn.
That actually hurts some of my plans though. xD I was getting ready to clone my Archaeomancer to get Dissipate back again, lol.

This is probably the part where it stops being fun... xD
Untap, Upkeep, Draw.
Tap Lotus and Temple for {5}, play Conjurer's Closet. Tap out for {Angel of Despair}, blow up Underworld Cerberus. Creature cards in graveyards return to owners hands. No flicker for Angel.
End step, discard {Utvara Hellkite} and {Balefire Dragon}.
40/7.
Angel is good. EoT I'll tap Sage and Archaeomancer to draw 2. Then tap two islands and lab to wizardcycle my {Vedalken Aethermage} twice. {U} still floating, cast {Mystical Tutor} to get {Turnabout} to the top of my Library. Gg, or do you want me to talk you through the combo? =P
Nah, GG. :)
Things would have gone a lot smoother for me if I'd taken Tamiyo out faster. I completely forgot what her ulti was, so I left it. Stupidstupidstupid.
Yeah... xD But gg and +1! I'll post below with a walkthrough of the combo if you're interested in reading it, just so you know that it's legit. xD

Nah, it's fine. I saw it. :P
Also, +1 to you as well. Thanks for the game!
So, since {Turnabout} isn't modal (You don't choose a mode upon casting like you do with {Cryptic Command}) each copy of Turnabout can do something different. I play {Sigil Tracer}, cast Turnabout, Copy it twice for {2}{U}{U} and tap 4 wizards. The first copy resolves, I target myself, name lands. Second copy resolves, target myself, name creatures. The original copy still hasn't resolved yet, so I continue to do this infinitely, so I get infinite mana and infinite tap abilities of any kind, such as Azami. I flash in {Laboratory Maniac} and draw a card with no cards in my library, and thus I win. =P
Seems like I can't +1 you, because I've already +1'd you today. xD
But yeah, you're welcome. And thanks for the game as well.
Vileo's deck looks so sick 😳
Lol thanks. I looked back and I guess I should have drawn 6 when I copied {Decree of Pain}, but it was really late so oh well. xD
And old version of my Azami list is posted in the commander section, but literally almost no one posted on it. Though it has a ton of new cards now.
You should repost the new version.
