I haven't seen a thread like this, where you can share all the crazy and unexpected moments, that happen to happen in MtG's best format. I think it would be nice to hear the crazy cube stories of others and maybe even get some Inspiration.
Today, I had an incredible gamechanger happenig.
I was playing a 3-man draft with 2 good friends, we played it out multiplayer. It was game 3, everyone had already won one except me. But it looked good.
The mono Aggro player was already out, It was down between me with Blink and my friend who played a Dredge with a blue splash only to test the newly added Consuming Aberration.
His board: Consuming Aberration(12/12), Nest Invader, Penumbra Spider, 14 mana sources.
He was on 10 life and had only 4 (!) cards left in his deck.
My board: Geist-Honored Monk, 3 Spirits, Nekrataal, Gray Merchant of Asphodel.
I was on 22 and had a library with ~13 cards in it.
Everyone expoected me to win and my friend made bad plays and had lost all his hope for like 20 minutes, being lucky to even become 2nd again. Then, without realizing the potential he topdecked Sprout Swarm. He used it EoT since he had nothing else to do, then I suddenly pointed out, that I'll lose the game, where everybody had expected me to be the winner for so long. In his turn it took only 3 more activations to mill me out. Especially mean, in the end of my turn, thanks to being the monarch, I drew an O-Ring ...
