Wombat's Super Fun MtGPQ Card Showdown

FindingHeart8

Goal: A friendly competition with other players for the highest points possible!

Rules:

• Each person commenting on this thread can 'play' 1 creature, spell, or support per comment; this counts as the player's turn.  A player may have another turn by commenting again, but only if at least 2 other players have had turns since.
  

• Each player keeps track of their current board state, and has it added to each comment.

• Each card can only be played once.
  

Point System:

• Your creatures attack during each of your turns.  Damage dealt by creatures during your turn are directly added to your points. (Other players don't lose life or points by this, your creatures are essentially mining you points).
  

• Killing a creature (or locking it down) via a spell or support gives you half the points of the creatures power, rounded up.

• Higher tiered cards cost points to cast: (Common: free  Uncommon: 5points  Rare: 10 points  Mythic: 25 points  Masterpiece: 50 points).

• You can't spend points you don't have.

• If a card you play allows you to draw cards, you instead gain 3 points for each card you would have drawn.

• Life gain is 1 point per 1 life gained.

• If a card you play forces your opponent to discard cards, you gain 3 points for each card you would force your opponent to discard (handle this like a 1 vs. 1 MTGPQ match).  Credit to Thuran for cool idea!
  

• Gem change awards 1 point per gem changed.  Credit to Thuran.
  

• Treasures can be "cashed in" for 3 points during your turn, or held onto for future synergies. Credit to Thuran.
  

I made this up, in the moment, off the top of my head, so additional rules can be added later to smooth out any arising complexity!

I'll post my first turn below for demonstration.

you have to work your way up.  The only free cards to cast are commons.  Uncommons, rares, mythics, masterpieces cost points.  Otherwise people might just drop Emrakul or Piggy turn 1 lol

Are we win a free for all? If i drop wrath of God, do I kill everything in this thread?

Clever!  I forgot Wrath existed in mtgpq.  I suppose so, yes.  However Wrath of God is a masterpiece, so you'd lose 50 points in casting it.

However, each card can only be cast once, among all of us.  So only one player could cast Wrath of God.

khurram

I cast legion's Judgement on that clossal dreadmaw thus killing it.

I get 3 points!

Yay!

HypnoticSpecter

I cast Boiling Earth with awaken. I deal 1 damage to all opposing creatures, killing Nest Robber. I attack with my 4/4 elemental.

Is my half point for killing Robber rounded up or down?

Top empty
middle empty
Bottom 4/4 elemental. 

5 points

Gilesclone

As expected.  
I play Rampaging Hippo 5/6 trample 

I have 
Rampaging Hippo 5/6

I get 2 points from killing the elemental.
And 3 points from my own elemental's attack

Top slot empty
Middle slot empty
Bottom slot: 3/3 island elemental with haste

4, 4.5, or 5 points?

MY POOR NEST ROBBER!!

round it up, rounding it down would be just mean

FindingHeart8

Cast Rush of Ice with awaken.  Disabling Gilestone's Rampaging Hippo (wont be able to attack during your next turn but can attack the following turns as it's a 1-turn disable only).  Summons 3 1/1 island elemental tokens with haste. 

Gain 3 points from disabling a 5/6 (half its power rounded up).  Plus 3 points from swinging with the 3 1/1 island tokens = 6 total points

End turn.

Board state.

3 - 1/1 elemental tokens.

Total Points: 7

I cast Queen’s Agent explore 2 into a 6/6

Rampaging Hippo 5/6 trample 
0 points

HypnoticSpecter

I cast Encircling Fissure with awaken, disabling everyone's creatures for 1 turn and making 2 1/1 elementals with haste.

I think that's 27 power disabled, so 14 points plus 2 for the attack.

First position empty
Middle empty
Last 2 1/1 elementals. 

16 points.

khurram

I cast Rolling Thunder with awaken. An uncommon spell from BFZ. Costs me 5 points.

It deals 2 damage and then 4 damage to each of opponents' creatures and the opponent.
All opposing creatures DIE!
Total power of dead critters 26, I get 13 points.

I get 6 points for dealing damage to opponent. (do I get 6 for each opponent? Not sure)

top empty
middle empty
Bottom 3/3 island elemental which will be enabled next turn.

Total points: 3+13+6= 22

good question!

I didn't want life totals here so people wouldn't be booted out of participating, or have it so you could attack a specific player so no one would feel like they're being ganged up on.  Given we are referencing mtgpq version of cards instead of mtg cards, and that mtgpq is currently 1 vs 1 only, I'd conclude there would only be 1 opponent being hit for 6.

Not dure what it dies, but ill play contract killing on Khurrams 3/3.
