When I cast Omniscience and do not immediately win my buddy gives me mad grief for playing such a powerful card and not ending the game. Dude, its an ENABLER, not a finisher. He got his grief back in spades the time HE cast Omniscience and did not immediately win. 😀
Omniscience is powerful, but any card that costs 10 mana should be, and it definitely shouldn't be banned. It is a 10 mana card that isn't easy to cheat in, and while providing you a massive advantage, it requires a very good hand to win you the game on the spot. Besides counterspells, this can also be taken down with removal in response to them casting their first free spell. Omniscience is in most decks, a win more card. Where because you have significant card advantage (you've been drawing extra cards frequently) you will quite likely win. Though it is more attributable to the amount of cards you have access to rather than omniscience, the player drawing the most cards is always the most likely to win. tldr: It's not consistent enough to be built around as a win condition due to its prohibitive mana cost, difficulty to cheat in, and dependency on the other cards you already have in hand to win the game.
Bro needs to re-evaluate if a 7UUU spell that does nothing on it's own really is banworthy. And also get something up on those walls, way too empty in there
Omniscience is definitely powerful, even for 10 mana. It's one of those cards that the "run more removal" advice people are probably thinking of all the time. But then, is it any more powerful than Craterhoof Behemoth? A green creature that usually ends the game the turn it's played, while costing 2 mana less than Omniscience? There are plenty of powerful cards that can guarantee victory most of them time they are played, and Omniscience probably isn't the worst, even if it feels like it. It probably won't be banned, but now that WOTC is working on a tier system for commander, it will probably be put in tier 4, and you will be able to aviod it by playing in lower tiers
Omniscience is about to be legal in standard for the next 5 years. If the printing of Foundations continues during that period, there's gonna be a lot more people with access to it.
Eh... If you're casting Omni for 10 mana you kinda deserve to win the game if it resplves. Expensive cards should win the game, because the game does need to end eventually.
@@magickfinngers I can tell, you're complaining about an expensive cmc infinite mana.. wait till you find out about Isochron scepter & how you can break it.
Played normally I'm not even sure if it's a good card, it's ten mana and not a threat in and of itself. You might be able to cheat it into play, show and tell esq, but unless it's with your commander it's likely not consistent enough to ban.
I run it in my deck but it rarley lasts 1 pass around table and i only play it for a one turn explosion for the win but usually if i cant win i can win next turn but even so it never lasts more then 2 rotations
wait till bro finds out about infinite mana combo's... also its removable, countererable, tuckable and bounceable or what have you. getting bodied by that is deserved.
Sorry my guy, there's just cheaper and more powerful cards. To echo some other comments: tooth and nail, thassa's oracle, craterhoof behemoth, isochron scepter/dramatic reversal would all be on the chopping block way before omniscience. Actually, I'd love to lose to omniscience...erm, assuming they close out the game quickly after playing it. But, welcome to MTG! To paraphrase Mark Rosewater: good games aren't just about happy feelings. The anger you felt losing to that is a part of the game and the art, and it made a memory that changed you as a player and a person.
hard casting an omniscience. if that resolves, bro absolutely deserves the win.

Thank God bro isn’t on the wizards rules committee

Wait until this guy finds out about 9 Mana entwined Tooth and Nail that ACTUALLY wins the game.
Meh, this is fine. Thassa's Oracle seems more like a problem.
How long have you been playing???
About three months. Why?
