@tuber856 players at top levels tend to get extremely focused on the game and not think so much about being Mr. nice guy. As a result we see things where people can come off cold during a match but then turn around and be all smiles and joking with each other after the fact. I mean hell look at worlds with Wafo-tapa vs Wafo-tapa you have relatives and while one was joking some the other was very serious. It has nothing to do with being cold and everything to do with focusing on the game.

@TheAspiringOne He cant crack his fetch lands because blood moon makes them mountains, he has no way to generate white mana to path

[TheAspiringOne]

SPOILER-

Couldn't josh have won at the 1hr, 25Min mark if he had cracked his fetch lands, path to exiled the spellskite, then lightning bolted him twice??

@TehFoamy Here's another infinite combo for you. Enjoy.

Gravecrawler, Grimgrin, the Zombie Captain & Rooftop Storm.

Unless there's a way to stop this, you just won, no matter how many opponents you're playing against. Granted, Rooftop costs 6 & Grimgrin 5, & it involves 4 cards, so even "I'M" okay with this one - lol

Still... talk about a sick combo. Infinite lifedrain & pump on the Grim. Yikes

W/out the Captain, just play Artful Dodge for the win ; )

@TehFoamy  I understand your point & I totally agree with you that winning on turn 2 with Blazing Shoal is stupid, but it's only hard to do if your opponent is playing a deck that can stop it. If they aren't, then you simply can't win against this, unless he can't get the combo out. But regardless, if the infinite combo "automatically" wins you the game, then in my opinion that's broken. But you're right; at least he can't pull this off on turn 2 thank God ; )
