I love ridiculous endings in this mode. Decided to play a 3 player FFA planechase game with Obedient Dead and ended up facing off versus Ancient Wilds and Born to Flame. Nothing exciting for the beginnings of the match, mostly board clears between the red player and myself. The game eventually hit a self imposed clock, as a
Nephalia
began draining our libraries most of the game. Some time later, we finally get lucky and hit the planeswalk. This is what the game decides to throw at us. Hopefully I get all the details right for the following events. It was a lot of information to process at once.
Nephalia
->
Chaotic AEther
->
Morphic Tide
->
Mutual Epiphany
->
Jund
We were just anticipating what plane we might run into after the
Chaotic AEther
hit, as the Born to Flame player was the active player with a lot of mana left open. A nasty plane could just crush everyone else. Instead,
Morphic Tide
comes up and we all just start pausing, unsure what we should do. No one really has a clue what's really in their libraries anymore because Nephalia wrecked us pretty hard, so we're all doing a quick count of what we're missing before we proceed.
After a brief look, we decided to finally let the chaos of that resolve and then
Mutual Epiphany
explodes at us on screen and everyone is just barely caught up with what happened to the board due to Morphic Tide. Fortunately for me, I was blessed with my two
Underworld Dreams
,
Nekrataal
, and
Rune-Scarred Demon
and a bunch of land. My opponents drew into a bunch of land as well, Ancient Wilds mostly hitting weenies like
Fauna Shaman
,
Wood Elves
, some
Roaring Primadox
and a
Pelakka Wurm
, whereas Born to Flame gets
Magma Phoenix
, both
Chandra's Phoenix
, and a
Hostility
.
So seeing as we're all about to draw 4 cards, and my opponents are going to take 8 thanks to my Underworld Dreams, Born to Flame takes this opportunity to try and win the game. I end up targeting Hostility with my Nekrataal and burn starts flying from the hand. Elemental tokens are just being massed and when that stops, I decide to
Murder
the Magma Phoenix, undoing all that work and putting everyone at quite low lifetotals.
While all of this happened so fast, the best part of it all... I'm up next and Rune-Scarred Demon just fetched me a lethal
Exsanguinate
