I just had an opponent make an "interesting" play against me in an ROE draft.

He cast Realms Uncharted, but the only lands in his deck were Forests & Mountains.

Obviously he mis-read the card, and I just had to laugh at that play.....

This is the most interesting thing that happened to you? Laughing at a player for making a mistake?

While I am not surprised that players make mistakes with new cards, they are quite humorous.  And no offense spadeace if that is the best comment you can make I would suggest trying your crap in another thread.  I highly doubt, based on his previous posts, that batdwarf just out and out laughed at the poor guy.  But let's see other than casual tales of someone finally max-leveling their lighthouse cryptologist annd then not realizing they got two turns in a row f6'ed the second turn which then let me draw removal and a concession, i dont have much
I like fun, but competitive decks.  So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.

My opponet beats me game one with a foil Sarkhan the Mad.  Nice deck.

Game two I play a single Guul Draz Assassin on turn one.  I get him to a 4/4 and win without playing a single other creature.

Game three I play a single Beatbreaker of Bala Ged on turn two, pump him on turn three and win after playing onlly a Drone guy fopr the rest of the game.

I guess despite 21 ticket foil mythics, 4/4s can get there.

Beat someone with Keening Stone.  He sac'ed a bunch of lands to cast summons.  I laughed.  Yes, SpadeAce, when I saw him saccing his lands I laughed.

I laughed when I saw spadeace's post...does that count?

During the prerelease, my opponent and I were stalled. I needed a few more lands and then I could lock him out with Dawnglare Invoker , but he had one of his own that was also close to doing the same to me. I also had the level up guy that is your own glorious anthem

He plays Pellaka Wurm, and I realize that he will lock me out next turn unless I win, but I only have 6 lands.

End of his turn, I play Virulent Swipe . On my upkeep, the rebound triggers. I draw a land, play it, sac one of my Spawn tokens and activate the invoker ability to tap down his team. I then swing for exactly lethal.
