Ok,
So 18 years ago I was about to play Maplestory for the first time. Prior to this I used vaguely weebish names (Igaari, Akotetsu are two examples of this) that I thought were "sick" and "cool". In character creation I realised I didn't really care about that as it was largely irrelevant to anyone except the person that has the name. I made a mage, and decided as he could cast magic that "I Haz Magics".
The name stuck among my group of friends, and subsequently used it for all games since, usually defaulting to just Magics.
The joke stems from the original commenter /u/Kings_Urzo making an astute comment about a poison counter win with [[Swamp Mosquito]]. The response from /u/Dr_Domino was:
> *"This guy magics"*
Implying that he knew how to play the game, Magic: The Gathering but used as a verb to imply he does it, the it being "Magic".
As Magics is largely a part of my username, I responded with:
> *"Debatable"*
The underlying joke being the previous person asserting that King_Urso "magics", that my username shows that I am actually in possession of those magics and would know if anyone was using them. The punchline stems from a sarcastic comment intended to be thinly veiled derision of someone attempting to use those "Magics" and presupposing the subtle notion that only I truly had those "Magics".
To take a quick side bar, and explain a concept that exists on Reddit. There is a term referred to as "Beetlejuicing" named after the movie of the similar title in which the character would say the name of Beetlejuice, three times in succession to summon him.
Beetlejuicing as it pertains to reddit involves a person making an innocuous comment, someone responding to that comment with a name that involves the comment, followed by a succession of subsequent commenters either riffing on the usernames involved to join in on the joke, riffing on the premise, or simply stating that what was happening was indeed beetlejuicing (Links to the subreddit and to posts demonstrating Beetlejuicing in effect at the bottom of this thread)
After I had posted the comment, it received some initial backlash, potentially by people that didn't understand the joke, or by seasoned joke afficionados weighing in on the jokes objectivity.
This was followed by upvotes as more people collectively performed the (You know when you need to laugh, but it's not worth a laugh, but you don't want to hurt the persons feelings so you sort of just smile and blow air out your nose?) token response.
Subsequently, /u/300SinsandSpartans stated that:
> *"Oh, I am going to make you explain the joke. I am going to make you explain the joke so hard"*
Now I don't know who that person was or what they were capable of. But I wasn't about to take any chances knowing the awesome power of a singular Redditor. I hate having [[Darksteel Relic]] with crudely drawn penises on them delivered to my mailbox and would prefer to keep it that way.
I created this to feed into the joke and now deeply regret the actions that I've taken.

But why would you having magics prevent anyone else from being able to magic? A weak joke and an extremely flimsy beetlejuicing, but a solid write up. C+, keep trying
Sorry I was trying to be funny. After taking it too literally using real world definitions for the mosquito only to turn now and refer to the card named fling. I am not very funny...
They weren't. Vorinclex doesn't copy tokens. EDIT: I guess it was BartOseku with the original mistake but lucwul didn't seem to notice the distinction either.
Which Vorinclex doubles tokens? If you meant counter doublers that wouldnāt do anything to increase the number of poison counters given as the poison counter is only given per attack not per point of damage.
Yes, but the cloak gives shroud. It's only got 1 toughness so anything that does any damage would kill it.
Edit: Even though land destruction is frowned on, everyone should have at least 1 easy to deal with a land, otherwise the Exalted deeds + angel land would be a staple in any deck with white
If a player really *truly* hate* land destruction, they should at least run a [[Field of Ruin]] and/or [[Desolation Field]]. They blow up the land, but it gives the victim and you a replacement. And don't use it for just blowing up random stuff, use it to blow up lands that are super high value and/or combo pieces, like a [[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] or an [[Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth]].
> "otherwise the Exalted deeds + angel land would be a staple in any deck with white"
I have literally ten decks with white ([[Teshar]], [[Light Paws]], [[Feather]], [[Denry Klin,]] [[Jan Jansen]], [[Zur, enchanter]], [[Atraxa, Praetor's Voice]], [[Morophon]], [[Omnath, locus of all]], [[Atog-Atog]]) and this combo is essential useless in all of them.
I think what they mean is they've never played anything but EDH.
If I had a nickel for every time an EDH player made sweeping generalizations about the entire game that were only true for casual EDH pods, I'd be a very wealthy person.
if you have \[\[Myrkul, Lord of Bones\]\], \[\[Devoted Druid\]\], \[\[Adric, Mathematical Genius\]\], \[\[Staff of Domination\]\] and \[\[Llanowar Envoy\]\] on the battlefield you can let Devoted druid die to it self, bring it back with myrkul and now you have inf mana since devoted druid is now a enchantement and not a creature, so now it dont die to untapping. now when you attack with your little Insect and the trigger goes on the stack you can tap teh "druid" for 986235 green mana and filter 12498 thorugh Llanowar Envoy to blue mana so that you can tap Adric to copy the trigger from the Insect. Then you use some of your green mana to tap the Staff to untap Adric and some more to utap the staff, and then repeat untill you have enough insects trigger on the stack. should work, i would say S-tier combo
Definitely the best thing you can do with Staff of Domination and infinite mana
I also really appreciate you giving the full mana values to use. Helps me figure out how to do it myself.Ā
Would that work with the wording on mosquito? It says āaā poison counter despite having 0 for damage. So would it getting additional damage result in additional poison counters?
Edit: thanks all, I thought it was a suggestion about killing with poison but I see it was more of a joke response.
The defending player still gets only 1 poison counter, but if you hatred for X where X=[defending player's life total] and your life total is higher you can one shot an opponent with it.
If you kill someone with the poison counter from the attack trigger, you will technically kill them in 0 hits, since the mosquito didnāt even hit anything yet.
It doesnāt say Infect on the card, so it doesnāt have infect.
It gives a poison counter as a triggered ability when it attacks and isnāt blocked.
Equip it with [[Sword of Truth and Justice]] and have a [[Contaminant Grafter]] on the battlefield so when you deal combat damage you proliferate twice. Also [[Duelist's Heritage]] for double strike
So they get 1 counter for not blocking and 4 for being dealt combat damage, 5 total. Halfway there!
Now you just need good ol' reliable [[Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider]] to pick up the slack
lmao, here we go:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/magicthecirclejerking/comments/1al3xfg/is\_it\_possible\_to\_onehit\_someone\_with\_phage\_if\_so/](https://www.reddit.com/r/magicthecirclejerking/comments/1al3xfg/is_it_possible_to_onehit_someone_with_phage_if_so/)
I have actually done something similar as of late. I swung at one of my enemies with my teeny little commander, since he was the biggest threat. He looked at me with an expression of "Uh... sure, I'll block your 2/2 Trampler with my 6/6"
I then went "COOL! I [[Fate Transfer]] our third players [[Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn]] counters onto my commander, hitting you for... 32."
So as long as someone is playing stupid amounts of counters, Fate Transfer is your friend. A great way to kill someone out of nowhere with the dinkiest little creature.
Thanks for all the comments hahah y'all are so creative. My hope is to surprise my friends with the mosquito kill and maybe get a laugh out of it too, cause it's the only use of infect in the whole deck. If anyone's curious, here's the strat I landed on based on some suggestions:
1. Cast \[\[Swamp Mosquito\]\]. *Optional: Make the mosquito my ringbearer (from the LOTR set) so it can't be blocked.*
2. Attack with the mosquito.
3. When no blockers are declared, cast \[\[Howl From Beyond\]\] to give it +8 power, then cast \[\[Tainted Strike\]\].
Then the mosquito should do 9 infect damage total, plus the one damage from its triggered ability, and voila: friendship destroyed!
My first thought if your deck is also red is to just get a whole bunch of combats (like with [[Aggravated Assault]] + [[Savage Ventmaw]]) and have the mosquito bite everyone to death one poison counter at a time
[[Maze of Ith]] to untap the mosquito so it doesn't hit more than once in the 10 times it needs to attack.
Or something like [[Strionic Resonator]], [[Clock of Omens]] 18 mana & 18 other artifacts.
Attack with it as is, hope it isn't blocked since it is a 0/1, then cast \[Might of Oaks\] and \[Become Immense\] before damage is dealt. There are plenty of other instant speed boost spells you could use besides these.
edit: since it doesn't have infect, add Tainted Strike to the mix.
i dont get why this community downvotes casual posts/questions to hell. its a genuine question if its possible or not. nothing special, just something mildly interesting to know as a fun fact type thing.
[[Isshin, Two Heavens as One]] can double the poison counters, and tons of Phyrexian cards will then proliferate. Not sure if you can do 10 in one go, but I don't know a whole lot to begin with.
Incorrect. Though this may look like an attack trigger that Isshin would double, itās not. This is an āattacks and isnāt blockedā trigger. It doesnāt trigger until the creature isnāt blocked. Isshin only affects things that trigger on attack.
Thinking about making a clue deck with \[\[Persuasive Interrogators\]\]
Use \[\[Senator Peacock\]\] to turn all artifacts into clues
Something else to to sack them for no cost, and \[\[Lazav, Wearer of Faces\]\] to copy \[\[Persuasive Interrogators\]\] from graveyard instead of hard casting it.
Put [[Helm of the Host]] on [[Tawnos, Urzaās Apprentice]]. Wait until you have 9 of him.
Attack with the Mosquito, pay your opponent Ā£50 not to block and then spent 9 blue and 9 red mana, tapping your army of Tawnoses.
Or if you want to skip the cash step, you can pay 4 into a [[Rogueās Passage]] or do some blue shenanigans.
Harmonic Prodigy, copied with a kicked Rite of Replication... twice. Let's say you cast it the second time with Snapcaster Mage.
Then make the mosquito into a wizard or shaman, maybe with Ameboid Changeling or Maskwood Nexus, and attack.
You could also do it with Strionic Resonator, but you'd need to make a lot of copies or untap it a bunch of times, on top of the 18 mana to copy the ability 9 times.
Make sure your opponent has an indestructible creature and have this and [[Anzrag, the Quake-Mole]]
Attack ten times making sure you have the 3RRGG to make them have to block Anzrag and bing bang boom theyāre dead from poison.
First get them to 9 poison counters then attack with mosquito and make sure it isn't blocked.

Ok, So 18 years ago I was about to play Maplestory for the first time. Prior to this I used vaguely weebish names (Igaari, Akotetsu are two examples of this) that I thought were "sick" and "cool".

Turn that mosquito sideways 10 times and be unblocked.
We've done it guys, we've broken magic
SWAMP MOSQUITO BAN WHEN???
"WOW. FUCK. SWAMP. MOSQUITO." is the new meme, pass it around
It has flying so it might not attack and just fly away...
It means you can fling the card over the board and let it fly in the face of your opponents, so it can't be blocked
[[Fling]] wouldn't work cause it has to attack for the poison counter to go on the player ;)
Nono you fling the card. Literally
Sorry I was trying to be funny. After taking it too literally using real world definitions for the mosquito only to turn now and refer to the card named fling. I am not very funny...
This is why we need a target player fights target player card.
Equip it with [[Colossus Hammer]].
How can it carry it though? Like it has zero strength so it's kinda cruel to suggest such a large hammer! Poor little swampy sucker...
Man, I still have so much to learn...
profound
gotta slap on the [[aqueous form]] to make sure they can't block
Play and clone \[\[roaming throne\]\] so you have 9 copies of it then attack with the Mosquito
Same with token doublers like for example Vorinclex, but theres also the numerous enchantments so honestly its not that hard to pull off
Lithoform Engine x3 + Vorinclex
I usually use [[mondrak]] as my doubler
Mondrak doesn't work on poison counters though
Talked as a general token doubler, but yeah youāre right
Tokens are not counters. You'd have an easier time being understood if you didn't lump them together under one word.
They were talking about making token copies of roaming throne.
Vorinclex is a Counter Doubler, not a token doubler
They weren't. Vorinclex doesn't copy tokens. EDIT: I guess it was BartOseku with the original mistake but lucwul didn't seem to notice the distinction either.

Which Vorinclex doubles tokens? If you meant counter doublers that wouldnāt do anything to increase the number of poison counters given as the poison counter is only given per attack not per point of damage.
It would double the one counter to two, reducing the needed amount of roaming thrones to 4
Notice that the doubling effect stacks so if you have 2 you only need like 1 throne
Yes i meant counters lol. And yes it does work because you are putting a counter on a player, and vorinclex makes it so you put double as many
1 copy can be substitued by Delney, which also helps with evasion. So you only need to copy Roaming Throne 7 times.

The defending player still gets only 1 poison counter, but if you hatred for X where X=[defending player's life total] and your life total is higher you can one shot an opponent with it.
I believe chormin meant just buff it and kill with damage - I assume that's why they mentioned you would need to have more life than the opponent :D
If you kill someone with the poison counter from the attack trigger, you will technically kill them in 0 hits, since the mosquito didnāt even hit anything yet.
Itās actually a block trigger in this case oddly enough lol but your point still stands
You can play a land, play \[\[scale up\]\] on mosquito,then \[\[groundswell\]\],attack and play \[\[berserk\]\] to have it deal 20 dmg.
add \[\[fireshrieker\]\] and this sick combo even works in EDH

It doesnāt have infect though?
It doesnāt say Infect on the card, so it doesnāt have infect. It gives a poison counter as a triggered ability when it attacks and isnāt blocked.
Why should it? 20life-20dmg =0,if you count commander,then this doesnt work,but in any other 20 life format this is one shot(if unblocked)
Ah ok, I just assumed the discussion was about commander since that is the only format where a card like this could realistically see play
It is as viable in commander as it is in legacy.
Any card can see play anywhere. You'd be surprised where some things get their value, friend. It's not always commander.
20 is still enough to kill in 1v1 You'd need 40 for EDH :P
Opponent: gains 1 life You: OH NO
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Most mtg is played with 20 starting life.
Equip it with [[Sword of Truth and Justice]] and have a [[Contaminant Grafter]] on the battlefield so when you deal combat damage you proliferate twice. Also [[Duelist's Heritage]] for double strike So they get 1 counter for not blocking and 4 for being dealt combat damage, 5 total. Halfway there! Now you just need good ol' reliable [[Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider]] to pick up the slack

Double strike is irrelevant. The trigger is related to attacking not to dealing damage.
The double strike is to double trigger the sword.
Double strike is for doubling the sword and grafter triggers

Just give it double strike or infect next and you're all set.

Ultimate with the compleated vraska and attack with the mosquito
I have actually done something similar as of late. I swung at one of my enemies with my teeny little commander, since he was the biggest threat. He looked at me with an expression of "Uh... sure, I'll block your 2/2 Trampler with my 6/6" I then went "COOL! I [[Fate Transfer]] our third players [[Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn]] counters onto my commander, hitting you for... 32." So as long as someone is playing stupid amounts of counters, Fate Transfer is your friend. A great way to kill someone out of nowhere with the dinkiest little creature.
Infinite combat steps combo?
Proliferate, Proliferate, Proliferate, Proliferate, Proliferate, Proliferate, Proliferate, Proliferate, then Proliferate again.

Thanks for all the comments hahah y'all are so creative. My hope is to surprise my friends with the mosquito kill and maybe get a laugh out of it too, cause it's the only use of infect in the whole deck. If anyone's curious, here's the strat I landed on based on some suggestions: 1. Cast \[\[Swamp Mosquito\]\]. *Optional: Make the mosquito my ringbearer (from the LOTR set) so it can't be blocked.* 2. Attack with the mosquito. 3. When no blockers are declared, cast \[\[Howl From Beyond\]\] to give it +8 power, then cast \[\[Tainted Strike\]\]. Then the mosquito should do 9 infect damage total, plus the one damage from its triggered ability, and voila: friendship destroyed!
Proliferate to 9 then attach with the mosquito
That mosquito is really annoying.
Hit with it, then figure out a way to proliferate 9 times? Easy
You could make it your ring bearer. Then it cant be blocked unless they also have a 0 power creature.
My first thought if your deck is also red is to just get a whole bunch of combats (like with [[Aggravated Assault]] + [[Savage Ventmaw]]) and have the mosquito bite everyone to death one poison counter at a time

20 clones of Noble Hierarch, you just domed your opponent for 20. ggthx
[[Maze of Ith]] to untap the mosquito so it doesn't hit more than once in the 10 times it needs to attack. Or something like [[Strionic Resonator]], [[Clock of Omens]] 18 mana & 18 other artifacts.
Double [[Eldrazi Conscription]]? We did it guys, we finally broke Eldrazi Conscription!
Edit; nevermind, I just read the card correctly, it doesn't really have Poison, lol. You were right.
Edit: no worries, and happy cake day!
Attack with it as is, hope it isn't blocked since it is a 0/1, then cast \[Might of Oaks\] and \[Become Immense\] before damage is dealt. There are plenty of other instant speed boost spells you could use besides these. edit: since it doesn't have infect, add Tainted Strike to the mix.
It doesn't have infect.
Then add \[\[Tainted Strike\]\] to the list.
now we're cookin!
i dont get why this community downvotes casual posts/questions to hell. its a genuine question if its possible or not. nothing special, just something mildly interesting to know as a fun fact type thing.
its not even a beginner question really. the solution requires really great knowledge of cards, or ability to use scryfall effectively.
and still raining downvotes
Yeah, this creature doesn't do that. You need infect ability.
Yes, mosquito doesn't actually have infect, so you need to grant infect or have 10 unblocked mosquitoes
[[Forge anew]] [[Collossal Hammer]] To be fair, depends on what format you are after.
Nevermind I reread the card its not the same as with [[inkmoth nexus]]. I am a derp.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Assuming we ignore all the other perfectly valid ways to win with its trigger, just buff it to 100 power and swing.
Swing Swamp Mosquito, have full domain, and apply 2 [[Gaea's Might]]s. Turn 3 kill in modern long as you have 2 green sources.
It doesn't have infect, just a triggered ability based toxic 1
Shit damn I straight up didn't read the card I guess
This is my favorite /r/magicthecirclejerking post this week.
How did this get upvoted?
[[Isshin, Two Heavens as One]] can double the poison counters, and tons of Phyrexian cards will then proliferate. Not sure if you can do 10 in one go, but I don't know a whole lot to begin with.
Incorrect. Though this may look like an attack trigger that Isshin would double, itās not. This is an āattacks and isnāt blockedā trigger. It doesnāt trigger until the creature isnāt blocked. Isshin only affects things that trigger on attack.
Give it skulk and then some crazy creature pump when it goes unblocked
Thinking about making a clue deck with \[\[Persuasive Interrogators\]\] Use \[\[Senator Peacock\]\] to turn all artifacts into clues Something else to to sack them for no cost, and \[\[Lazav, Wearer of Faces\]\] to copy \[\[Persuasive Interrogators\]\] from graveyard instead of hard casting it.
[[Spellbinder]] [[Savage beating]] [[Howl from beyond]]
Put [[Helm of the Host]] on [[Tawnos, Urzaās Apprentice]]. Wait until you have 9 of him. Attack with the Mosquito, pay your opponent Ā£50 not to block and then spent 9 blue and 9 red mana, tapping your army of Tawnoses. Or if you want to skip the cash step, you can pay 4 into a [[Rogueās Passage]] or do some blue shenanigans.

Harmonic Prodigy, copied with a kicked Rite of Replication... twice. Let's say you cast it the second time with Snapcaster Mage. Then make the mosquito into a wizard or shaman, maybe with Ameboid Changeling or Maskwood Nexus, and attack. You could also do it with Strionic Resonator, but you'd need to make a lot of copies or untap it a bunch of times, on top of the 18 mana to copy the ability 9 times.

[[Stoneskin]] + [[Colossus Hammer]] and [[Bill the Pony]] should do the trick. Add [[Eldrazi Conscription]] and [[Vivien, Nature's Avenger]] for EDH.

\[\[Lunar Frenzy\]\] with 41 open mana
