    I feel like that Locus of Enlightenment punt in the first game is totally understandable. In a world where having 2 Virulent Slivers gives all slivers 2 copies of the poisonous 1 ability, it would make sense to me that exiling 2 teferis would have all their abilities be considered separate from one another.

    • @sgjuxta
      @sgjuxta Рік тому +30

      It does count them separately. There is nothing special about the Locus that prevents you from activating multiple loyalty abilities from different exiled cards in the same turn. You just need to find a way around rule 603.3 that says (paraphrased) "you can activate a loyalty ability of a permanent you control any time you could cast a sorcery and as long as no player has already activated a loyalty ability of that permanent already this turn."
      It's a very easy rule to forget, since the only cards that natively come with loyalty abilities are planeswalkers, so I feel it's a common misconception that the once per turn restriction on loyalty abilities is baked into the rules of the planeswalker card type, when it is actually baked into the rules of loyalty abilities themselves.

    • @WinterGray8888
      @WinterGray8888 Рік тому

    8:50 it matters as long as the counters are still low. Untapping 6 lands when it's at 6 is the same as activating it. It also helps to remember all thresholds 16,32,63,125,250,500. if you're close to one it is very important to try and reach it. There is virtually no difference between 250 or 495 counters while the difference between 499 and 500 counters is a whole turn.

    So, I think the Locaus of Enlightenment is bugged on Arena. Gatherer says "if two of the same card were exiled to craft Locus of Enlightenment, it will have two instances of each of that card's activated abilities. Each of those abilities may be activated once each turn." So when you exile two tefeiri with it, you should be able to activate the +1 twice.
    EDIT: nevermind, you can only activate one loyalty ability per permanent, regardless of anything else.

    One important aspect to the math is that any counters you can put on it earlier become more valuable later on, because they count for however many times they get doubled. So one extra counter on turn three could be worth 24 counters on turn six.

    • @therealax6

      Yeah, this is _extremely_ important to shorten the clock. It's also very relevant when you're close to a boundary: a calendar with 55 counters might seem like it would take 5 doublings, but if you untap and get 8 more counters on it, it's just 4 doublings.

    This was seemingly all the way against the odds and it kinda worked. I think another possible way is Nissa, awaken the woods, doubling season, and a way to untap the calendar. I just think forest giving you double the value plus more forest with the awaken the woods could be enough mana to get a doubling season or two out. Still, hopefully have enough mana to do untap shenanigans.

    Hey Seth, you need to try out 5cmc or less white superfriends with Chimil. Do it with Chimil in the sideboard not main deck. Utilizing Karn, raven's warning, and Fae of wishes as your means to pull it from sideboard. Basically a simple Bant deck control deck. Boardwipes, ixalan's binding (its more expensive than alteratives but is strictly better than the others) With a sideboard of Liquimetal coating (for karn / Compleated Tamiyo), kaya, the inexorable, Quintorius Kand, Farewell, Chimil, and Ugin.
    I run: Basri ket, Mila, Wrenn and Realm, Ajani adversary of tyrants, Teyo, Aegis Adept, Ajani, Sleeper agent, Ajani, the greathearted, Tamiyo, Collector of tales, Vivien Reid, Tamiyo, Compleated as my main deck walkers.
    basic strat is board wipe> board wipe > Board wipe until you can start dropping planeswalkers.
    With doubling season, you can drop ready to ult walkers. With Kaya in the sideboard and having the means to obtain her in game, your planeswalkers can never be permenantly removed. The vast number of cheap walkers and having grave recursion (Wrenn and realm / Kaya) allows you to win just off the poison counters from Sleeper agent Ajani. (cant pull off ajani? Basri keeps you with chump blockers and Ajani keeps you with life linkers.) My record is 32 emblems in one game. thanks to Enigma.

    You can win in 10 turns playing calender on turn one and only having 2 lands, just untapping and activating it. Turn 9 you would have around 800 (my math might be a little off so I'm rounding) playing ANYTHING that untaps speeds this up. But not actually by much. Unless you are somehow spamming permanents that keep you alive, can untap but somehow don't win you the game first I think the fastest you can win is turn 6/7.

    Why not sunfall vs glyphbreaker? Also leaves behind a transform token for enigma crafting. Also is just a HARD wrath. Glyphbreaker Seems a little too cutr for this ahainsy the odd

    "When ever you untap any permanents during your UNTAP STEP"
    I thought I could use Aphetto Mage and Vizier to infinitely untap and tap target Permanent!!! I thought I could do this in my UNTAP Step yet I have just discovered that there is no Priority in the Untap step and all Permanents Untap at the same time!
    Im so angry to discover this MYTHIC Peace of JUNK is utterly useless in EDH I'm so gutted!
    Its a waist of a slot!
    Why couldn't the card just say "When ever you untap a permanent ad a TIME counter im so Angry this has embarrassed me during a game were I thought I could go Infinite! 1000 is just Stupid GG Mark Bathwater thanks heaps.

    One thing about recent sets that makes me sad is the lack of animations. I know it's not a super important thing, but consider cards like Mnemonic Betrayal (Probably the best animation), Thousand-Year Storm, and Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge's simple +2, not having anything at all on the calender's win condition feels like such lazy design. It's not an easy condition to achieve and there really should be payoff. Even toxic and mill win conditions get a little flair these days...
    When I got a Calander, I threw it into a quick sparky game to see what the win animation was. -1000. :/ Iif we didn't care about visual design, we'd all be playing MTGO, since it has a much more complete card library.

    You should do a Commander Clash deck with Millenium Calendar and Vorel of the Hull Clad as a commander. You can even include Darksteel Reactor again.

    I saw a deck with the calendar as a focus, but using "all will be one" to deal over 150 dmg to me in one turn.

    I remember being curious about this card during spoiler season. I spent so much time at work doing Millenium Calendar (?) math and I was surprised at how long it takes to win with it. lol

    • @therealax6
      @therealax6 Рік тому

      Don't forget to count all the untap counters you get, because those get carried by _all_ the doubles. It's easy to see that log 1000 / log 2 = 9.xx, so it feels like this has to take 10 turns, but in practice it never does, because the first few untap counters you get let you shorten the clock by at least 2 turns.

    • @JordanMurdockMusician
      @JordanMurdockMusician Рік тому

      ⁠@@therealax6I tried to do that math too. Lol I started off at 1 untap, then adding a land and including that in the math. It still didn’t add up to much in the grand scheme of things. You definitely want to untap this thing and tap it as much as you can cause the doubling is more effective than the 2-6 untap counters you get lol

  • @PanFriedCalamari

    Unwinding Clock and/or Paradox Engine would untap the Millennium Calendar more often. More uptaps = more counters and more doubles.

    If during your untap step, you tap->untap a basalt monolith, would that add to the millennium calendar counters?

      You can't cast spells or activate any abilities during your untap step as no player receives priority
