I don't think I've ever actually lost to an Omni. Or maybe just once. The AI is really bad a using it right.Carriage, on the other hand, cost me many matches back in the day. Dear lord so many matches.

Dear lord so many matches. I'm envious of your experience lol. Omniscience (when Kaladesh was in standard and could be fetched) cost me matches daily, as Runaway Carriage did back in the day.I've not heard many stories of people losing to Deploy, though I'm sure there are some. I personally have..maybe..lost 1 or 2 matches to Deploy throughout my entire experience in this game.I suspect it's because Deploy didn't work so well with the AI, as the high cost creatures it would fetch were (if in-hand) given higher priority and were cast before Deploy. The handful of times I've seen the AI cast Deploy, it was one of the last cards cast from their hand, and was always mid-late game.

Its funny, I lose to Deploy all the time, although nowadays usually because of a HUF

I'm actually super curious because I own the cards and use the combos but haven't ever really had to taste my own medicine.wait...it's not my deck your facing over and over again is it?

Its actually quite funny. One second the board is empty. Then the AI gets a nutty cascade, and then you're looking at 3 50/50 or whatever creatures. Bonus if one of them is a Piggy (one is almost always an Emrakul).Sometimes I have the perfect storm of removal and luck to pull out a win. Usually I just quit. Its exactly as miserable as I would expect it to be.

I had all my cards spread out on the floor in different piles for sorting while I made decks.I had a fireplace in my room with a lovely mantel that I was burning candles on.My Shivan Dragon ended up covered in wax...
Kinesia said: Grin. I couldn't think of a story that was what you wanted, the problem with being so old is that I can't remember much from back then!I'm not worried about the loss, I've never been precious about my cards. I'd never even heard of sleeves till at least ten years after that. I am way more annoyed that I think I lost my favourite Golgari deck somewhere!But things I can remember are walking down the street, away from the game shop, opening my first Antiquities booster... But I have no idea what was in it!I remember the feel of the room my friend taught me to play in for the first time and that I was playing Black... But nothing else.Gaps and tiny sparkles of light.
