    Don't remember if he ever says it out loud in the video but you trigger *both* Rakdos Joins Up when you legend rule away the Hulk copy as they both see him die. A single instance of this combo is 18 damage.

    14:13 I don't follow the "making sure I have way to get this all to resolve" comment.
    Isn't hulking metamorph copy ability a may? So you can end the loop by just not copying the joins-up with it. And you already have BM excessive overkill triggers stacked. So it's literally either kill you in response to declining to stack more triggers to lose.

    • @wurgel1
      @wurgel1 8 місяців тому +2

      he couls also simply stack the trigger in the right order, dealing damagae before returning the Metamorph again.

    Its so easily interrupted and telegraphed though. I've seen it win through one piece of interaction by getting out a 9/9 archeologist that gets back another way to dig for a 2nd attempt at the combo, but boy does it lose hard to people with 2+ pieces of interaction or any dedicated graveyard hate

    Have had the misfortune to play against this several times (6 or 7?) already. Only won once and only because I was able to bounce their Rakdos, had blockers for the Metamorph and flyers to kill them before they could anything else. Almost won a second time but they had a second Abuelo in hand and just did the combo the next turn and killed me...

    Just another way the current regime over MtG are ruining the game. They've made it so unbalanced. I pretty much only see 4 or 5 decks in circulation when playing. As soon as they drop their first land, i can pretty much tell you what the deck is. It doesn't help that these people make these videos teaching people how to make these broken decks. At least come up with it yourself, but I know most of you don't have the creativity to do so.

      @@fiercedeitylink2019 It's not a big deal but it's not optimal to go beyond 2-3 lol. A single instance of the loop is 18 damage (both Joins Up see the Hulk copy die). A second is 36. In Standard that's almost always game and you'll know if you're playing against a deck that can survive 36 to the dome at once and can just add another instance for 54 damage. I'm struggling to see a situation where you'd ever need more than 3 instances of the loop.
