You're right, but in my above scenario wouldn't you probably mill win right there?

[Silent1236]

All depends on {Mind Funeral}, really.  Hit a pocket of lands and you're only milling 10-15 with their combined casting

[Mlerner12]

Yeah, that always stinks.

[imthelolrus]

Just play with him, you'll understand.

It's really the only way

Or against him, you might understand even faster (if his controller is doing it right).

[MementoMori]

With a fetchland and a {Thoughtseize} to get a third card type in the yard, he can be a 3/4 when you cast him on-curve.

Pity your opponent if you get something like a {Bitterblossom} or {Arcbound Ravager} with that Thoughtseize, because then he'll be a 4/5. On turn two.

Tarmagotf is evil

[Bozo_Law]

Well, goyf attacks T3. Then T4. Then, T5, you'll have Abberation out, and it should by that time be able to kill Goyf. Like this:
T1: Tome Scour (5)
T2: Glimpse the Unthinkable {15 in)
T3: Mind Funeral (Probavky a good 35 in at least so far).
T4: Mind Funeral 2, then Tome Scour again. They've Probavky got a good 50 in? Might be a game.
T5: Abberation, which will KILL Goyf. And Goyf probably hasn't done lethal damage yet, it'll probably be like a 6/7. Not lethal damage. You can then produce to kill them easily.

I am not saying Goyf is bad, I'm saying it's overrated. Certainly mythic worthy. I just think Abberation is better. Also, the above fame, your opponent might have already died. 😉

Well then your combo opponent will kill you on turn four and you will be sad that you are playing a crappy five drop

[Kaleo42]

There is not a better 2 drop creature in magic than {tarmagoyf} except maybe {snapcaster mage} and there are a lot more snaps that have been printed than goyf. Goyf is not a $150 card by any means, however there are only a few available and there is no better alternative. Paying more than 2 for you beater leaves you tapped out when it is most important.

[Birdbrain]

How do you STOP goyf. Other than sideboard a {reminisce}?

[Mattao19]

Kill it early or  {Rest in Peace} would work

[EvACiDe]

Easy, {go for the throat}, {victim of night}, {terminate} etc

[Birdbrain]

Any options in red/blue?

[Mattao19]

Just counter him if not burn him before he's too big. If he gets too big  {Fireball}

[Gorzo]

Kill it early or  {Rest in Peace} would work

Pretty much. Graveyard hate weakens him, and it's important to note that goyf has no actual protections outside of an increasing toughness. He dies to {Terminate} and {Doom Blade} and gets exiled by {Path to Exile} as easily as a {Llanowar elf} would.
