Up for karma is a Japanese Gifts Ungiven in NM condition that I got from our very own Ben Carp about 2 years ago.



This will be open for one week, I'll randomly pick a winner Sunday the 13th. I'll send you a PM and you must reply with your mailing address within 3 days or a new winner will be picked.

Rules for entry:

1) Be a forum member as of yesterday 1/4/13

2) Post here saying you want it! One entry per person.

3) Include in your post one combo, make it somewhat obscure, and fun!

I'll be trying to do one of these every two weeks when I get paid.

The BEP makes bills that large?!? I've never seen a $100 bill. I don't know how you could possibly get one signed by me.

I want it!

Ashnod's Coupon, Mindslaver/Sorin Markhov, Donate/Zedruu, and a way to tap an artifact.

1. Gain control of your opponent's next turn.
2. Donate a tapped Ashnod's Coupon to them.
3. While controlling the opponent, activate Ashnod's Coupon targeting yourself and the soft drink in your backpack.

The opponent must now pay any $$$ costs for the soft drink, but since you own it you get to choose the price. Your opponent must give you all of their money or concede the game.

I want it!

Fun obscure combo;

Start with an Anthem effect - anything that gives your guys at least +0/+1 will do.
Cast Phyrexian Metamorph, copying nothing.
Cast Gilded Lotus.
Cast Eternal Witness.
Cast Rite of Replication, with kicker, targeting Phyrexian Metamorph.
use 4 of the metamorph copies to copy Gilded Lotus, and the 5th to copy Eternal Witness. Return Rite of Replication to your hand.
Tap 3 of your new Gilded Lotuses to cast Kicked Rite again, repeating ad infinitum until you have arbitrary mana, your may then cast any spell in your hand an arbitrary number of times via copying more Witness with Rite, you have an arbitrary nubmer of creatures, and mana.

Wormfang Manta + Vanishing = infinite turns, due to bizarre phasing rules.
Quote
702.24d The phasing event doesn’t actually cause a permanent to change zones or control, even though it’s treated as though it’s not on the battlefield and not under its controller’s control while it’s phased out. Zone-change triggers don’t trigger when a permanent phases in or out. Counters remain on a permanent while it’s phased out. Effects that check a phased-in permanent’s history won’t treat the phasing event as having caused the permanent to leave or enter the battlefield or its controller’s control.

That's pretty.  I will give it a shot:

I WANT IT!

Combo: Black Lotus + Mox Emerald + Mox Ruby + Taiga + Ball Lightning + Blood Lust + Berserk

First turn kill with the luckiest first 7 ever?

Only thing better was when mana burn still existed.....60 black lotus, draw 7, drop 7, sac 7, take 21 burn, turn 1 kill EVERY GAME.

 Very Happy
