I wonder, if you have a Worldspine Wurm or Serra Avatar, do you just get locked into an infinite cycle?
you would not, because that ability would have to go on the stack and that means it can't resolve until after grindstone is done removing the rest of the deck
anything with that ability would, however, be put right back once grindstone finished
that said, there are a couple things that have replacement effect shuffling back in, like blightsteel colossus or darksteel colossus, and I think these would cause an infinite loop since the replacement effect alters what happens to them when they get milled
How am I 2-0 with Tooth and Nail (admittedly, just a Tron variant) in our weekly Modern Tournament? Tooth and Nail was the first competitive Standard deck and this is the first time I have played it in Modern. It just has me a little giddy.
tooth and nail is legit in tron, why are you surprised by that lol
Is it? I thought it was sort of on the fringe, generally thought of as worse than mono-blue and R/G traditional Tron. I ended up 3-1, losing to 4-Color Gifts Reanimator. Still had a ton of fun though.
This is where media needs to take a new step up! I need the ability to hover zoom in on cards in GP streams, cause I haven't re-memorized every card at a glance yet! ( Wondering if it's even possible nowadays, I could memorize every card at a glance back when there was only 10-12 sets , not 100's rofl)

Back in my day, before we had your fancy falootin' "Gatherer," and new fangled "smart phones" we found out what cards existed in Type 2 (we called it Type 2 back then, dammit!) in a magazine! Why, I had a copy of Scrye magazine where I memorized every card in Tempest + Urza's Standard, without images, and I liked it! You kids these days are spoiled!

Oh, the days of going on vacation with a fresh copy of InQuest to build decks out of the card descriptions. Memories...

I have the 1999 Inquest preview issue in my bathroom magazine rack rofl, ( cause it had the urza's saga preview list! and every prior card!
Man was inquest ever terrible at everything else but that card list... the power combos were like the saddest thing... Use Verdalon Ancient.. to sac tokens for mana... ( yes let's use ramp that takes 8 mana to get going rofl)

I stil have magic encyclopedias In a box somewhere, or maybe it was just the one, it had pictures if every card in every set up to like ice age along with like trivia. I have no idea how much I went over that book as a kid.

I like Homelands only because Baron Sengir is in it and I want to see him come back into the story with his massive army of vampires
I think the last time we'd seen him story-wise was in one of the Time Spiral-block books and he was marching the vampires through a planar portal to who knows where
but I mean the guy has had a portal to another plane in his basement forever, and refused to use it until he'd turned everyone on Ulgrotha (the Homelands plane) into a vampire

I remember around Urza/Masques blocks you would occasionally have the spoiler hit and someone at the local shop would run off a fifty sheet text spoiler of all the cards and we'd be all "holy shit, Thorn Elemental is the raddest thing ever." I distinctly remember seeing Cho-Manno and next time I was at the store traded my Masticore for the Pariah I needed to Enchant said Cho-Manno.
All those suckers that were playing their Rebel decks, they didn't have nothing on my Angel/Rebel deck that had Story Circle, Voice of all and playsets of all the pro-colour angels that got printed. I got super excited about making fourth place at the first tournament I ever went to (by the grace of goddamn god, just because no one was running enchantment removal) and being super stoked about it.
It was fourth out of six people, but my twelve year old self was super impressed with that. Angels man, angels!
Okay, hopefully we get this thread locked up soon so I can post the new one. If anyone wants to join in on the Sealed League, let me know! i'm probably going to have some open positions tomorrow, and I plan on writing up the new schedule then.
I think we need 100 pages, so since I wanna see the shiny new OP , I'll share another "Killer Combo" from Inquest, with a twist!
They kinda had a half decent casual one, then blew it with the description.
Umbilicus and Ankh of Mishra, old school ping combo. cept Inquest wants to return the Umbilicus every turn, not the Ankh, cause they are dumb and loved to get it wrong.

My favorite dumb combo deck was Dingus Staff, Aether Flash, and Varchilds War-Riders
As long as they let me get to turn 5, and didn't have any artifact, enchantment, OR creature removal, it was GOLD

It's really not that fancy.
Oh none of them are, they are all bad, this one was notable, because they were close to at least a common sense one, then still got it wrong.

Couldn't even win a game, missing three opportunities in one game. Eliminated after two rounds. Fuck me, quitting Magic forever.

I still need to get Lackey set up. It's on my list of things to do.
imagine if they hadn't capped it....
also that 27000 packs of MM being opened just in the main event, not including judge comp, draft, side events, or prizes
it takes like
10 minutes
