Sorry, the previous post was just the sound of me malfunctioning, not sure why I can't link to my deck. Maybe because its private. Anyways, I "shared" the deck with you and here is the link as well.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/beep/

To clarify: The opponent must be slain BY their untap step, or DURING their untap step?

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/boop/

Boop.

First entry: What are the three terrors of the Fire Swamp?

@DrMcmeen: I believe he means that he can only lose at his untap step. The purpose here is that he won't immediately lose once he hits 0 life, allowing players to stack more damage on him (hence the Overkill). As soon as it's his next untap, he loses due to lack of life.

Can anyone say overkill?

Super Mill for Challenge

Wow S.E. that is truly overkill, I would shake your hand if you were in front of me after I read that.

my first entry

deck:rdw,-for-overkill-challenge

@SocialistElite you can make a better overkill if you swing for the 71 damage first and then sac everything into Viscera Seer thus being able to mill for 176 leaving you with Seer and Demons. Sacing Demon 1 2 & 3 nets another 12, followed by Seer for 2 making a grand total of 190 cards milled.

Congrats though on the overkill

@ Naishar Well, if you swing for the damage first, then our marine friend will be dead before he can be milled out, and thats just no fun!

what is the deadline?

@ MDragoon The rules state that he only dies in his upkeep, ie a check occurs is see if he's alive or dead, so your able to do anything and everything in your turn.

You Lose. Now.

My first submission.

@Naishar Ahhhh, that makes a lot more sense then how I understood that listed rule, I was afraid that it meant that your opponent can only lose at the beginning of their untap step. Thanks for clarifying that. =]

This one is fun but it takes a bit of cooperation. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-archives-collapse/

@Phage_The_Untouchable

Exhume does not state which side of the field you can put it on!!! Auto WIN in one-on-one. Just give Phage to your opponent!!!

Hmm i was happy with my 74 from a pair of steppe lynx but if Brilliant is legal then that blew the unholy crap out of my score...

Turn 1: Ancient Ziggurat, Lynx

Turn 2: Arid mesa,second lynx, swing for 2

Turn 3: Snap the land, drop lotus cobra, drop another snap land, snap, harrow thrice, world at war and swing with a pair of 18/20 twice for 72 damage

So 74 all up.

P.S. punctuation is for chumps :D

All three of my decks are now public, and here are all the official submissions:

1: What are the three terrors of the Fire Swamp?

2: Prepare to Die

3: Life is Pain

These are subject to change before the deadline depending on some outstanding decisions of TAMA.

Lightning Bolt

Oops linked it wrong

deck:lightning-bolt-1

Duelist overkill challenge

Opening hand of 1x Kor Duelist 1x Sigil of Distinction 4x Pyretic Ritual 1x plains

Turn one, lay a plains, cast Kor Duelist .

Turn two, draw Mountain , play it, cast 4x ritual, giving you 6 mana, cast sigil for 6. Remove a counter to equip the duelist - now a 6/6 doublestriker. Swing for 12.

Turn three, draw Thunder Strike . Cast it, attack for 16.

Goldfish at - 8.

If this'd been legacy I could have used Dark Ritual and killed him on turn 2 :(

Please people, leave your descriptions and whatnot on your deck's page. If your deck doesn't have a page, it needs one. We don't need to go gumming up the submission list; it makes harder work for TAMA to know what's going on.

Heres My Entry Lol i killed goldfilsh

@SocialistElite

Wow.

@SocialistElite

The only flaw in your plan there is that if the fatestitcher is unearthed, then as soon as it leaves play, by no matter what means, it gets exiled. :(

You'd need to have one played from your hand, then unearth it. Otherwise, your stuck on 31 mana. You just need to have the buggers in your hand, which unfortinatly will reduce the total mana count slightly :)

Fist submission. Turn 1. Forest, Llanowar Elves. Turn 2. Mountain, Kiln Fiend. Turn 3. Mountain, Lightning Bolt, Giant Growth, Collossial Might, attack for lethal.

Second submission. Turn 1. Mountain, Goblin Guide, attack for 2. Turn 2. Mountain, Kiln Fiend, attack for 2. Turn 3. Mountain, Pyretic Ritual, Lighning Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Fling the Kiln Fiend. Or attack. Lethal either way.

Third submission (and hardest to do). Turn 1. Forest, Birds of Paradise. Turn 2. Lotus Cobra, Scalding Tarn sacced for an Island, Jace's Erasure. Turn 3. Verdant Catacombs sacced for a Forest, Selective Memory away all non lands in your deck, Treasure Hunt mills all his cards. (Yeah u would need like a hundred card deck to do this I know).

@mordrid311

Your major problem with Treasure Hunt is that it 'puts' the cards into your hand. You don't actually 'draw' them. so it doesn't interact with card:Jace's Erasure.

I'm being such a kill joy that I should really try and come up with something lol!

Scrap the last one. Missed the 61 card max ;)

And you aren't being a killjoy. When I'm wrong I would rather someone let me know so I don't screw up later :)

New third submission. Turn 1. Marsh Flats then pass. In opponent's end phase crack the land for a Swamp Archive Trapping yourself on the stack to put 4 Bloodghasts in your graveyard then bringing them out when the land hits. Turn 2. Swamp, Bloodthrone Vampire. Attack for 8. Turn 3. Blade of the Bloodchief attaching to Bloodthrone. Sac the Bloodghasts, play a Marsh Flats, sac the BGs again, crack land for a Swamp, sac BGs again, play 2 Ornithopters and a Pulse Tracker, sac them. Attack for 61. 69 damage by turn 3.

@s0m_the_wise Isn't that 10 cards by turn 3 when you were on the play turn 1? Wouldn't 9 only have 9 by then?

rofl. Ya know I'm gonna be a killjoy again! :P

Archive Trap only works when your opponent shuffles his/her library.

Also, you can't play an instant in the middle of a spell/effect resolving.

Thus you need to complete the search for your land and put it into play before the Archive Trap can be played. Now, isn't there a card that shuffles both libraries?... And damnit, couldn't Archive Trap be worded target player, instead off opponent? :)

Actually, Archive Trap is searches, not shuffles. I use it in mine above.

Well, when you search your library, don't you shuffle afterwards? :P :)

Thanks for the correction. But my point still stands... your Opponent NEEDS to do the searching. NOT you. :P

Submission Two Mass Valakut

Mass polymorph into Primeval Titan for Valakut to the face.

Got me again. That's what I get for not card checking first lol.

Solution One: Feel the Buzz

@mordrid311 yeah i wasn't sure about 3 draws or 2 if it is only 2 draws it drops my damage by 16 to 58 by dropping a spare harrow.

Also some clarification, are extra turns allowed through the casting of Time Warp and so on? I was somewhat confused with the "3 natural turns" part of the rules and i took it to mean no extra turns were allowed but looking at some of these crazy combo decks it appears i was wrong.

deck:why-dredgevine-is-awesome

If you don't like this, I'll cry.

wait so we dont draw first turn right? noob/rules question

No were are on the play first turn so without card draw we should only have 9 cards by turn 3 as long as my math doesn't suck as bad as my card memory has lately ;)

Revamped submission 3. Turn 1. Island, Tome Scour self putting 4 Bloodghasts in your graveyard. Turn 2. Swamp triggering Bloodghasts, Bloodthrone Vampire. Turn 3. Blade of the Bloodchief on BT vampire, sac BG, Arid Mesa, sac BG, crack land for Mountain, sac BG, 2 Ornithopters, sac them, Goblin Arsonist, sac it. Attack for 61 +1 From Arsonist hitting the graveyard.

Blue and Red = Dead

First attempt at a challenge ever! So be nice to me lol.

Well here it is, simple yet it works.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/overkill-challenge-1/

First Solution: Feel the Buzz

Second Solution: Annihilation Stampede

Here is my second method: deck:emrakul-burst-fling-and-kill

Cards In Hand: 1x Polymorph , 1x Island , 3x Pyretic Ritual , 1x Merfolk Spy , 1x Burst of Speed .

Turn 1: Play Island , Play Merfolk Spy

Turn 2: Draw Mountain , Attack for 1, Goldfish at 19 life

Turn 3: Draw Mountain , Play all 3 Pyretic Ritual s, Play Polymorph , Sack Merfolk Spy , Bring out Emrakul, the Aeons Torn from Polymorph , Play Burst of Speed and attack with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , Goldfish at 4 life

Extra Turn: Draw Fling , Attack with Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , Goldfish at -11, just before Goldfish dies, Fling Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , Goldfish at -26 life

Live and Let Lose

My actual first submission. Disregard that other one that wasn't standard, if you would please.

when does this challenge end?

First Solution: Feel the Buzz

Second Solution: Annihilation Stampede

Third Solution: World of Carnage

First Solution is Hilarious, Second Solution is alright, Third Solution is freaking awesome!!

also the comment above me was my comment, my friend was on his account on my comp and forgot to sign off lol.

Your Screams Shall Echo Forever

My second entry.

This is my first for directions see the deck deck description dead by turn 3

Sorry to be absent for a period of time my internet is playing havoc.

Three natural turns means NO ADDITIONAL TURNS. You may take additional turns i.e through emrakul but no additional mill/damage or effects will be taken into account. Sorry Blueclay, your solution was otherwise elegant.

Submissions will close on the 19th of august at midnight EST. I should have results by the 21st. This should give people enough time to adjust to the no extra turns enforcement.

Solutions must be standard legal Type 2.

For solutions like the one posted by Blueclay you may only use a 15 card standard legal sideboard for the cards you fetch.

What I mean by the Goldfish can only lose during their untap step is that they will not die until you pass the turn to them.

@Tama:

"Additional Rules

You maximum deck size will be limited to 61 cards.

You can take no more than an additional three turns."

So this is no longer the case?

Ah whoops ignore my above comments regarding additional turns apparently I did think this through. All other parts of the statements are still relevant. Sorry.

@Tama: So it goes =) To reiterate, then, we CAN take up to three additional turns via such things as Magosi, the Waterveil or Time Warp as long as they go on the stack during our three turn "eu naturale," but under no circumstances are we to take more than 6 turns?

"ignore my above comments regarding additional turns"

so we are allowed to do additional damage during the extra turn?

red deck wins o.o

Hand :1 mountain, 3 goblin guides and 3 lightning bolts (20) Turn 1 draw a mountain, play mountain, tap bolt for 3, end (17)

turn 2 draw mountain, play mountain, tap both mountains, play to goblin guides and swing with them. (13)

turn 3 draw pryetic ritual, play it, bolt for 3 times, swing with goblin guides (0)

red deck wins o.o

Hand :1 mountain, 3 goblin guides and 3 lightning bolts (20)

Turn 1 draw a mountain, play mountain, tap bolt for 3, end (17)

turn 2 draw mountain, play mountain, tap both mountains, play to goblin guides and swing with them. (13)

turn 3 draw pryetic ritual, play it, bolt for 3 times, swing with goblin guides (0)

i am resubmitting my 3rd solution World of Carnage. I'm not sure if you already looked at it, but just in case you did i edited it to do 3x as much damage. so here are my 3 final solutions:

Feel the Buzz

Annihilation Stampede

World of Carnage

1 Swamp 4 Dark Ritual for 12 manan -3 for casting cost=9 summon Artisan of Kozilek next two turns swing for 10 a piece or play. If needed lay down one forest and one giant growth.

sorry i thought Dark Ritual was standard.

All right, this one is just for fun.

i had to use scientific notation

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/goldfish-challenge-killed-by-banefire/

basically i set myself up to place a bunch of basic lands on the field, and hit them with Banefire obviously it would never work in real life, but it works here since we can choose our hand and what we draw

btw in http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/goldfish-challenge-killed-by-banefire/

damage dealt is 51, goldfish is left with -31 life. and since it's an effect (and i got to choose the order of card drawn) i dont think it would count as an infinite combo. even if it is im more concerned about damage dealt and creativity.

ok i fixed the banefire one now: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/goldfish-challenge-killed-by-banefire/

it wasnt able to do a step, but i found a way to fix it. does 51 total damage

i made a second one now: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/goldfish-challenge-relentless-rats/

does 156 total damage (not a typo). lol at relentless rats

gonna make a life gain one now

did i mention the bane fire one only uses 2 turns instead of 3 =)

banefire version: a lot of damage and 2 turns relentless rats version: a HUGE load of damage

ok last post, seriously lol.

i finished my 3rd and last deck for this challenge:

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/goldfish-challenge-win-ghandi-style/

my plains arent listed because the system thinks 52 plains are just "oh so too much" so just pretend i have that many plains.

i end up winning in technically 2 and a half turns and i end up having 228 life (not a typo)

I wish this wasn't only standard...

Turn 1: Lotus Petal Swamp

Tap the Swamp for a Dark Ritual . Play Entomb on Phage the Untouchable . Use the other two black mana to Exhume her.

Sac the Lotus Petal for one white to play card:Angel's Grace.

Turn 2: Island

Play Distortion Strike on Phage the Untouchable and WIN!

or houmbus you can make it less complex and just do: turn 1: Lotus Petal Swamp turn 2: Mountain , then sac Lotus Petal and Mountain for Pyretic Ritual to have 3 red mana, then Swamp for [dark ritual]] for 3 black mana, and Dark Ritual again for a total of 5 black mana, tap 7/8 for Phage the Untouchable turn 3: attack with Phage the Untouchable

that way you don't need to worry with angel's grace. to bad for you though that it's standard. although you gave me the idea i should use Pyretic Ritual couple times

like: turn 1: Mountain , Llanowar Elves turn 2: put down a 2nd mountain, use 2 mountains for Pyretic Ritual four times for a total of 6 red mana, tap Llanowar Elves for 1 green mana

then do whatever from there i guess

@Everyone who can't read: I am tired of seeing people that can't read the rules regarding this challenge. This page is filled with problems that the following should clear up:

"Your Solution must only use standard legal cards."

This means no Dark Ritual , no Phage the Untouchable , no Lotus Petal , etc.

"To enter you simply need to post a prototype deck containing all the cards you intend to use to win and an explanation in the description box."

This means that you should be creating a deck using that handy deck-builder tool and posting a link to it, not posting your solutions in their entirety in the challenge itself. That crap is going to be hard for TAMA to understand and read and judge.

Duels of pw comobo for heart-of-worlds 3 turn Turn 1: Plains, summon Steppe Lynx : 20 Turn 2: Plains, summon 2 more steppe-lynxes:lynx attack 2/3 for 18 Turn 3: Forest, Harrow, Nimbus Wings (if desired): attack with 6/7 linx for 19 you win.

thank you Selsenay!! lol

about lotusreport's deck: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/i-had-to-use-scientific-notation/

Sorry, but the rules said 3 natural turns, no cards cause you to have more then 3 turns.

@zigkid3

Quoting the rules: "You can take no more than an [sic] additional three turns."

As far as I can see, lotusreport only gets two additional turns, not even hitting the limit of the challenge.

First turn: Mountain down, Raging Goblin, swing for 1 Opponent:19

Second Turn: Mountain down, Double Quest of Pure Flame, swing for 1; Token on each flame Opponent:18

Third Turn: Mountain Down,swing for 1; Token on each flame Opponent:17 Lightning bolt; Triggers Both Quest of Pure Flame which multiplies damage by 4x now. Opponent:14

Lightning bolt for 12, Opponent is at 2 Lightning bolt for 12, Opponent is at -10
