  • @stellatedhexahedron6985
    @stellatedhexahedron69858 ай бұрын

    the trick to that calendar is that you don't win by untapping, you win by doubling; it could start with 15 counters on it instead of getting counters from untapping and essentially be the same card. if youre seriously on the calendar plan you want the 4mv innistrad teferi to untap it and use it again.

  • @thehatebringer8005

    CGB your never gonna wi. With the calander if you dont double the counters on it as often as possible, i get that in most matches there are thinks that must be delt with, but if you have the open mana double the counters, MAKE them have the removal for the card.and btw for the math if you literally tap nothing else but the calander and the mana to double it it will get to 1000 counters in 8 turns thats worse case scenario with minimal tapping providing you double it every turn so every chance you get to double it you should take it if you have the extra mana

    Would definitely like to see a redo of the calendar. 2^10 = 1024 so it's a minimum 10 turn wincon if you double every turn. If it starts at 4+ counters from an initial untap, that drops to 8 turns. Control games can easily last longer than that. It's a much faster wincon than people realize
