what a joke

[mike84]

I got my opponent down to 12 life. they put out a creature with the ability if opponent loses life they lose double that amount. then he cast a card that was target opponent loses half his life. talk about bullish. i didn't even know a thing existed. i feel like i got cheated. they didn't even have to play. they played two cards and like 6 land. that made me not want to play anymore at all, not to mention Shoeldred, the Apocolypse every other game. This feels totally lopsided.

Approach of the Second Sun is pretty sad as well, 4 copies of that and the rest of the deck is just kill, removal, survival till they get their I win card the second time

[magnumaniac]

That is a perfectly valid combo (Bloodletter of Aclazotz and Rush of Dread I assume).

You will encounter many game ending combos like this, and need to learn to play around them, counter them, or finish the game before they get to use them.

Most of the impossible combos are made by promotional bots trying to sell the overpowered cards.

There's nothing impossible about that combo. Just poor foresight that makes it a possibility.

Yeah the are a bunch of stupid cards with stupid design.

Just concede and move on.

In this case it's not even a single card- it's two that jive together in a way I suspect no one really took into account (though I do think Rush of Dread is too much on its own).

Honestly this sound's like the damage version of the Bruvac + kicked Maddening Cacophony combo. Unfortunately, you either need to kill them faster so they cant accumulate the resources to do that ♥♥♥♥, or kick em in the shins with a counter when they try it.
Life means literally nothing most of the time as long as it's above 0, and most people are plenty happy to completely ignore it if they think they can win regardless.

You'd hate my angel life link deck. Went from 2hp to 52 =P

I played an idiot today that had a very similar cheat dumb combo deck. It was turn 5 and he did absolutely nothing and had like 4 hp. Then he played that rakdos joins up bullcrap with another card from the graveyard i think, and managed to hit me for 27 straight damage to face out of completely nowhere. These jerks that play these kind of cheat decks are completely braindead and stupid.
Another totally retarded decks are those that play fight rigging. That thing is also atrocious...

Bloodletter combo is annoying especially if you have no answers to it.

[Tom the Mime Artist]

For the people complaining about combo decks seemingly winning out of nowhere, one of the clues that they're probably a combo deck is that they haven't done much up until that point. The response to a player doing nothing until turn 4 or 5 shouldn't be "Haha, easy game", it should be "Okay, they kept a hand that does nothing until turn 4, they're probably a combo deck. What combo is it and how can I interact with it to stop them comboing off?".

[Minmataro]

Really? thats a common combo. Did you just start playing? think that card came out last standard set.

That's not a cheat, that is a core archetype of MTG called "combo." Next to aggro and control, they make up the rock paper scissors of MTG. Getting mad about it is kind of silly.
