So on friday, i played a game of edh.
I had a {balance} in my starting hand, so i got an idea. Someone I was playing against had a deck to win my turn 6 at the latest. so I dropped 2 lands and did nothing else except discard down to 7.
Then he would be untapping with 9 mana, so I balanced down to 2 lands, 0 dudes and 4 cards in hand.
1 of the cards I discarded was a {celestial archon} and i topdecked {animate dead}, which was SUPER HAWT.
Then I was the huge target for the rest of the game, even though I didn't have an obvious advantage. (I think it was because I was using my commander to steal other peoples commanders. :P )
An Hour after the game should have ended, there was still no end in sight so I scooped and left (it was midnight). Just because of that 1 balance, the game never ended. It was the play of the night.
It was ridiculous.
Isn't balance banned in commander?
Since when do you play edh? And who was your general?
