1 mana>1000000 damage!(modern)

by kuness on 30 January 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (6)

Sorceries (5)


Instants (4)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


How to Play

Try to use gobline Fireslinger/spells to get the quest counters.

Use (N copies of) Furnace or Raths + (M copies of) Quests, then cast any burning spell on Boros Reckoner.

Assume we originally deal 1 damage to Boros, then we would deal 2^(M+N) to Boros instead. And Boros would deal 2^(M+N) * 2^(M+N) = 2^[2M + 2N] to the opponent instead.

So, just one card of shock + 1 furnace + 1 quest = 32 damage already!

** Edit **
Just realized this combo later. You can also bounce damage to another Boros (or more) to get unbelievable effect :D

If you need a budget deck, you can replace Boros by Spitemare. It just have one more mana cost.

Just a fun math: the most damage from a Shock is 2*2^40 = 2^41 (bounce 4 Boroses with 4 Furnaces and 4 Quests)

I suggest Goblin Arsonist over Rakdos Cackler.

I'd also probably take out Hammer for a fast-mana spell like Battle Hymn.

thank you!

I stopped playing magic for almost 10 years. My card pool now is very limited. I was trying to find a way to ramp my red mana but realized that it is banned in modern :D

I changed to grim lavamancer tho to get more constant shock to supply when I needed. 2 chain reactions might be enough i hope

please suggest me other cards if you think it suits my deck well

You could use also something like Vexing Devil or similar, cause the problem with grim lavamancer it's that you must await a turn to use his mana ability

Or another way to obtain a token (that's also sacrificable to make 1 colourless mana) it's Spawning Breath that's fun cause he make also a damage.

*Goes over the maths*

OOoooooh I get it. Targeting Boros Reckoner triggers Furnace and Quest a second time.
The problem is Quest can only trigger once so the equation should be 2^(M) * 2^(M+N) = 2^[2M+N]

Correct me if I'm wrong. The text said "any source you control". Shock and Boros are under my control, so I think I should be able to get it doubled.

I cited here: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=197407
10/1/2009 The second ability affects all sources you control that would deal damage to a creature or player at any point in the rest of the turn.

OH I GET IT NOW! Quest's ability lasts your entire turn! Didnt catch that.

forget to mention in the description too. You can bounce the dmg to another Boros, and make it very f*** huge lol

2^41 =2,199,023,255,552 damage.



Basically, 1 mana = 2.2 BILLION damage.

Your peak damage is 24^41 via Chain Reaction. This is getting out of hand. My calculator cant handle this much power. Its spitting letters at me now.

No, no. :)

any damage X would be resulted in X * 2^40.

and chain reaction deals damage to all of the Boroses, so in that case, each Boros will die before the damage got bounced

I think it's actually 2.2 trillion, not billion XD

That's the most efficient use of 1 mana I've ever seen XD

I can beat that. 2 million damage with just one red mana and a single card!

Mana Clash.

I just have to be lucky enough.

you know if you put in boro's charm, you could make your boros reckoners indestructible and bounce the double damage between both of them infinitely and hit for any amount of damage you want haha

You can do that with one Boros Reckoner dealing damage to itself. Boros Charm (WR) and Withstand Death (G) are the cheapest ways to get indestructible.

good point haha, one spell to give him indestructibility and double damage equals huge damage hit

At this point give him life link if you cant make damage, a good way to win it's getting 99999999999 life and then wait until you get the combo in hand :D
A good choice could be to put a card that give him life link in side, and you caould use it against an aggro oppo
(obviously useless against mill, infect or other wincon)

well..That's too easy then, we don't even need those quests + furnace. Just Boros himself + charm = gg

Yep Boros it's pretty OP used this way, just pay attention at pithing needle and removal

0

I think pithing needle only disables activated ability. The ability we use from Boros is triggered ability, so it's fine against that. only beware of removal.

And I have to correct my previous comment too....

Boros + charm cannot deal infinite damage to a player (but yes, you can gain life infinitely). I need at least one furnace or quest to amplify damage.

I would prob main deck 2 spitemares just for consistency in your combo.

it's already 60% prob that I will get a Boros in my opening hand. And I don't know what to take out. Maybe the dragon fodders.

Id try replacing one fodder and either one lava mancer or arsonist to make room for the two spitemares. That way you still have plenty of blockers and ways to activate the combo.
