Phage the Untouchable Combo - 1 Turn Kill

[deathnotealex]

no itll be funny when you get that and someone counters it and then you boned

[HappyFeetWomboCombo]

force spike, troololol

[xyz24245]

better combo: Ad Nausium, Tendrils of Agony

[Kaerume]

its cool, but you have almost not a chance for that starting hand, then you can cancel it with force of will, shit happens

[MrSyn7fold]

I hate first turn kills but if you wait until like 5th turn one mystifying maze will kill the owner of Phage...

[superaznyeah]

What about game 2?

[ThaDoctor17]

Not realistic, but to be fair, I have seen turn 1, Dark Ritual, Entomb an Iona, Exhume Iona... you can't play your color... Stupid hands like that are possible, but that hand just required 1 ritual, 1 swamp, 1 entomb and 1 exhume in the opening hand.

[3rcco]

Then your opponent removes two simian spirit guides from his/her hand, casts a manamorphose and smacks your phage with a turn to mist. :O

[goulisama]

can we stop with the 4 dark ritual in your openong hand?if you ever achieve that go play a lotto...

[doomsdayducker]

halariously enough, that was the exact combo i proposed over dinner to a friend this evening

[515Genesis]

this is one of the most useless combo created... Phage is good to be used in UB Control decks. with 4 Dark Ritual you can do really more interesting stuff

[llollercoaster]

This is the most straight forward turn 1 kill I've ever seen. Play Phage win.

[metallovaboo]

wtf start of with 4 dark rituals what are the chances

[jonrmahnke]

The only way you will get that combo on the first turn is stacking your deck.

[Clock83131]

Having 4 Dark Rituals makes it too impossible.

While, yes, it works, the chances of having 4 Dark Rituals is low enough, even less having 3 other specific cards.

I don't consider having an opening hand of 4 Dark Rituals as a combo. It's called either a miracle, or just too much luck, or you managed to cheat.

[schaotic]

phage isn't a bad card to throw in and dark rituals are always welcome so this added combo isn't a bad call for a deck, good post

[kevinkenny3]

Response to equip - Remove two simian spirit guides from the game, manamorphose to produce one white and one blue mana, turn to mist Phage. At end of turn, you lose gg. g2?

[bobbyblubby]

Ehhh...percentage of getting 4 Dark Rit in your hand turn 1 = less than 5% chance. You have fun with that.

[Pinfeldorf]

@bobbyblubby A lot less than 5%. Closer to .003%.

[who8mahbacon]

@bobbyblubby well lets see. if you had a 60 card deck, it would be a 1/8814960 chance just for the rituals and thats .0000113%. much less then 5%

[codfishy74]

@who8mahbacon I dont believe your math.

[jcarnt]

@who8mahbacon and it would be a 1/1946482876800chance you'd get that hand on the first turn, that's a .00000000005137% chance. So i guess if you played 1946482876800 games with that deck you'd pull this combo off once.

[dragao145]

the deck is cool but how do you get that first end its possible but the deck its not made of 7 cards if you dont have that first hand you can lose the game whats the probability o have that 7 cards in your hand? make a deck with that cards and with some cards to get more cards vause if you dont have that first hand you will die i think does cards are good but its almost impossible to have them at the first seven cards you draw. unless you cheat and magic loses all fun if you cheat.

[Luigi84289]

Yeah but drawing all 4 dark rituals is not very likely unless you play with a 7 card deck.

[LastTomato2012]

the odds of you getting tht hand are 3.5x10 to the -11 percent thats 0.000000000035% chance to get this hand

[Golgoth0666]

I had a deck like this once. And it only worked once but it was a little more fun. Anyway, worked kind of the same but I won on turn two. My opening hand was:

2x Swamp

3x Dark Rit

1x Damnation

1x Cruel Edict

I went second and top decked a Phage. Played her. He dropped a pro-black creature. But I played Cruel Edict and made him sac it.

But like I said, it worked only once, I played the deck about 50+ times lol

[magnaman64]

this isn't gonna happen, unless you have a seven card deck and go first in a 1 vs 1 game lol

[Luigi84289]

@magnaman64 yeah but that'd be a lame game and the opponent could have force of will or something in which case you lose on the next turn having no library.

[AndoMeria]

FORCE OF WILL = GG.

[MasterChief117xxxx]

Force of will can prevent you from getting Phage on the field.

[Luigi84289]

@MasterChief117xxxx Force of will is the greatest card ever. If phage was countered that'd be a 7 hit mana burn on the first turn.

[ichigoku322]

@Luigi84289 mana burn doesn't exist anymore.

[Luigi84289]

@ichigoku322 yeah just looked that up. Opens up worlds of opportunities.

[knudrik]

Why the mana burn? Does it not count as used an Phage? The mana is spend on phage and THEN she will be destroyed, if the mana was not spend on her, then how could she come in play to be destroyed by will of force?

[XDproXD]

@Luigi84289 to bad theres no mana burn

[Ages0fThunder]

I can tell you exactly how many times I've drawn my entire set of dark rits on turn 1...

0

[BottledFun]

good luck getting all the exact cards needed for this at the start...

not gonna happen...very often

[TheChosenAd]

nice now draw that hand... and pray that your opponent has no force of will

[ertai222]

to bad this will never happen

[Gorganbok]

can it be turn 0 combo too though?

[sup3rphi1]

no because you can't play creature spells on an opponents turn unless you have a card that lets you play them as an instant. like dramatic entrance, otherwise yeah, you could play the dark rituals on their turn and get 9 mana, but you wouldn't be able to play phage.. and you expecially wouldn't be able to attack with him.

itsa good combo, but the chances of it happening are pretty much 0.

and it can only be done on turn 1.

[HyperChief117]

i say it might cost more but put more dark rituals and more untouchable and greaves and maybe more swamps better chance of pick up.

[Tachyon55555]

one counterspell and show is over... too expensive cast cost that prob would be countered and then you have used all dark ritual... not that good of a combo...

[SuperTeddyNinja]

That Combo won't work.

Phage's ability states "Whenever Phage deals combat damage to a creature, destroy that creature. It can't be regenerated."

To put it simply, a player is not a "creature", therefore the ability is void when phage damages a player.

[thrashtastical]

obviously you havnt read the card Card Name: Phage the Untouchable Mana Cost: 3BlackBlackBlackBlack Types: Legendary Creature — Zombie Minion Card Text: When Phage the Untouchable comes into play, if you didn't play it from your hand, you lose the game. Whenever Phage deals combat damage to a creature, destroy that creature. It can't be regenerated. Whenever Phage deals combat damage to a player, that player loses the game. P/T: 4 / 4 (copied straight off of wizards)

[BagmanX]

Except her 2nd ability says if she damages a player via combat damage, they lose the game.

[redgixxer18]

haha you're a dumbdumb!

[thepassis123]

*cough* Force of will *cough*

[TheX2115]

Yeah, and plus, the chances of drawing FOUR dark rituals, AND your phage AND your grieves? Yeah, thats like such a good chance dude!

[darkmind1234321]

@thepassis123 YOU MEAN THERE ARE WAYS TO COUNTER SPELLS!?!?! OH M GOD!! THATS...AMAZING!!

[mike93345]

@thepassis123 pact of negation 

[bflandragon90]

@mike93345 if u drop a pact on the first turn ur guna lose either way

[fcgs2007]

haha, i remember one game, one of my friends played hymm to tourach(sp) on one of my other friend and it happened to be phage. Next turn, he used exhume and the player was forced to play phage from the graveyard not in his hand thus dieing. lol

[zagar93]

Well if you consider this Combo posible then you can still do it easier with an oppening hand of 1 Mountain, 1 Raging Goblin, 2 Blazing Shoal, and 2 Myojin of Infinite Rage which used to be t2 and is now extended

[joopgarcia]

this is totally possible...

possible but not feasible

its almost impossible to get 4 dark rituals during an opening draw....

[Hattorii009]

GODHAND

[thrashtastical]

honestly guys is ANY 1 turn kill sensible? no, its just fun to be like hmm what if, i know they arent legal, i have my standard legal deck its just so freakin hard and pointless to keep up with that i make tons of "just for fun" decks, so check out mine n tell me what you think

[Darkersun]

Not standard anymore.

[coolintheshortpoop]

this is just dumb no one is gonna start off with 4 dark rituals in the beggining hand unless they cheat dude. re think this prossess

[quanti]

4 Dark Ritual in starter hand?

sux...

[Sliverandzant943]

COOL COMBO, MAN!

[fireballot7]

how are u going to get all of them in your hand in one turn?

[markandme123]

turn to mist ?

[pointofinfo]

FoW FTW!

[staleyman13]

sorry, but this isn't so good, there are so many autowins on turn one.

[SteveVaiGuitarist001]

Cough Cough Counterspell or a nice Swords to plowshares... come on the likleyhood of this combo going off on your first turn is retarted unless you stack your deck but that is frowned upon in most matches. Have your friend shuffle your Phage combo deck before you play and see how the consistency with the one turn win works after that. I bet you get that hand once every 1,000,000 shuffles..... Try a Orim's Chant on a Isochron Scepter that is possible on a turn 1

[bgh130]

idiot there is no way you can couterspell on first turn... it cost two........

[SteveVaiGuitarist001]

U can counterspell on turn 1. play your 1 blue land and 1 lotus petal hmm 2 mana to pay for counterspell or if u want Mana Leak him, or if ur rich play a Black lotus or any of the Moxes. Ur a real retard to say somthing as stupid as that. know some cards first before you open ur mouth. I could be a even bigger dick and tell you " Pact of Negation " its a counterspell for ZERO. I can tell you havent been playing magic for a while otherwise you would keep retarted comments like that to a minium

[kandemon]

Cept if you play Pact of Negation round one, you won't be able to pay it's upkeep cost for 3, and you'll lose the game.

Also, this build depends on YOUR first turn, that means you'll have to play pact to use it, otherwise you won't have enough mana to play it.

[canman87]

Yes, please play Pact of Negation on his first turn. Do it on the first Dark Ritual to prevent him from even going off! Brilliant!

/sarcasm

[zombiefist01]

Force Of Will.

[Subaru050794]

@zombiefist01 Extended format.

[snorlaxcom]

Nice DBZ music!

[TheOffspringFan12]

i d wait till turn 2 with a mountain and a swamp play dark ritual pay 2 and the red seething song and then another dark ritual thats more likely then this combo no affence

[TheOffspringFan12]

i mean take a red and play rite of flame

[Benjerman]

this is terrible... Sorry..

There are just much more efficient ways of winning on turn 1...

And a force of will would destroy your entire "combo"...

With 9 mana, you could just use Dragonstorm, or something like that...

[Erishiamu]

You're a fucking idiot, this isn't a combo, its someone's fucking casual deck getting a god hand, and this is totally gay.

Also you're a bad player and you need to fucking an hero now.

[affluence8]

Holy smokes.. Wow @ Divine.. Thanks.

[addictedtopinescent]

You are never getting this combo, it needs a perfect hand to work, for the deck to work you would have to go vintage with lotus, moxen etc ... and tutors but then again in vintage you just get FOW'ed evrey time . . .

[affluence8]

Dude- Calm down. The Phague combo is valid. You wont get it on turn one but it could come out turn 3-4 or later on when you need it. I managed to do a 2 turn kill with the force of nature in the semi-finals sanctioned tourney. People could not believe it. I had 3 judges on my table. Miracles do happen if you believe..

[IxpoFactoMiniMagico]

The Grab the Reins won't work because it is Grab the Reins that's doing the damage, not phage.

Choose one - Until end of turn, you gain control of target creature and it gains haste; or sacrifice a creature, "then Grab the Reins deals damage equal to that creature's power to target creature or player."

[KirbyDeath]

Nice combo, but unrealistic. There are many good combos involving Phage and other cards, but you will basically never kill somebody using phage on the first turn. I like clearing the field with Damnation one turn, and on my next turn playing Phage and Mass Hysteria, giving phage haste, and then attacking. Also its fun to play Phage just so your opponent wont attack, and on your next turn use Grab the Reins and sacrifice Phage dealing 4 damage to your opponent making them lose the game.

[sm00thie0]

u r almost never going to get that unless ur playing u can have as many cards in a deck

[taylordoan09]

nice thinkin, but very very very unlikely you get that hand in a game
