Darksteel Colossus, huh?

Fair enough. I hit it with Iona's Judgment. Exile target creature or enchantment.

God I love my Angel deck. Got Akroma, Angel of Wrath, Iona, Shield of Emeria, Reya Dawnbringer, and Baneslayer Angel in there.
That's five mana, Broski. My Darksteel is already wearing his Bullshit boots. [http://magiccards.info/query?q=lightning+greaves&v=card&s=cname]
Ha! But you forget Darksteel Colossus costs 11. Besides, even if you do hit me, Platinum Angel exists for a reason.

Well, him and True Conviction (creatures you control have Doublestrike and Lifelink). And with Akroma's Memorial on the field, that adds up to some pretty nasty damage to a non-flying deck.

Also, just exile or destroy the Bullshit Boots, then go after the Darksteel. Problem solved!
Sorry to barge in on the conversation here, but that 11 mana cost is nothing when you have a [a href="http://magiccards.info/fve/en/14.html"]Tinker[/a] and an Ornithopter/Memnite. Turn three you get Darksteel, equip the boots and smash them with it.

Of course the easiest solution is a counterspell, but who runs blue these days? [sub]I do[/sub]

....Don't you dare get any ideas! Dear God the implications are endless!
Fanfics get a free pass card now. "Ash wanted Pikachu as a card..."

You can fill in the blanks by yourself.. ;)

Darksteel Colossus is fine and all, but I prefer a little guy called "Progenitus".

Yea, you read that right. Protection. From. Everything. Darksteel Colossus can still be exiled with cards like "path to exile" or "swords to plowshares". Progenitus? can't be blocked or targeted by anything. Yea. Feels good. And ofcourse there are dirty ways to sneak him out early.
Seriously? Protection from Everything? Magic has become so fucking silly since I quit.

It's easy to beat. As a legendary,only one of it may be in play at any given time. Find a way to get a copy of it down,and both go poof.

Furthermore,it's only one creature. Get swarms of stuff,and it'll be relatively helpless. Furthermore,if you're playing vintage,any coloured Circle of Protection will protect you from it. Ain't it grand?

Man, I love Magic: the Gathering jokes. I've been trying to work together a Blue/Black infect deck, but so far I'm having trouble with it (and I don't have all the cards I'd need yet). My typical deck is green elf aggro. It's tournament legal right now, but when Zendikar cycles out in October I may make it a true Elf deck and add Wellwishers to it.

Mm, tell me you guys remember that little jewel.

The last pack I bought had a 5/6 Myr that cost 2.

After reading this comic I'm going hunt down Sheoldred, Whispering One and do terrible things to her fat black ass. After I'm done it'll be more like Whimpering One.

No unsummon that, nope counterspell it, negative boomerang back to your hand, oh hell no cancel.

Oh and Cloud Sprite(or insert appropriate tiny blue creature) hits you for 1.

Blue decks are always fun.

On the note of the comic...I have a feeling that the kid was about to say...

"I'd {T} that!"

I've seen someone who had a deck that combined this with a card that destroys all enemy and ally cards. Since this card cannot be destroyed, you become the only player with any cafd left and therefore win the game.

Or something like that. It was hard as hell to pull off.

Funny thing? Protection From Everything only works if it's the specific target. Things like Wrath of God still get rid of it.

Nah. It only went downhill after Mountain/Black Lotus/Channel/Fireball. The original first-turn kill.

An old joke making the rounds back in Urza's Saga days, that the game was so fast that it could be divided into three phases. Early Game: coin-flip to go first. Mid-Game: mulligans. Late Game: Turn 1.

I'm happy I sold my cards. When the two recent sets I most liked were the ones WotC has gone on record as being the worst, it was time for me to go.

That's a very nice game you have here...

Would be shame if I came and won it.
