Title: Snagged Vex
Post by: darkarts981 on April 21, 2012, 01:10:31 PM
{Vexing Devil} and {Vapor Snag}!

Turn one: mountain, pass turn.

Turn two: {Sulfur Falls}, tap the mountain for a the Devil, if someone has it deal the damage, you tap the falls and snag it back to your hand!

(not sure if this would work, it is not originally my combo, my friend suggested it, but he doesn't have access to the forums)

Them choosing to take the dmg does not use the stack therefore you could not respond and {vapor snag} back....you would have to sac it if they take 4.  Now the trigger from {vexing devil} does use the stack and someone could {vapor snag} the devil in response before they have to choose. They would still technically have to choose but you could not sac it since it is not in play so it would not be helpful for you to {vapor snag} it back at this point.

Exactly!  If the trigger is still on the stack and the devil leaves play, your opponent (if they are not a moron) will just choose not to take the damage.  If the trigger resolves, then either you have a 4/3 devil in play, or a dead devil and four damage to your opponent.

He still should be excited, but not for that reason.
