I remember playing against possibility storm in a paper game of commander.

[@atranimecs]

[@heart7277]

In your opponent's end step, use reflection to copy itself. Then use that reflection to copy itself. Repeat once for each open mana. Then untap them all on your turn and attack or if you have a better creature on the board, have them all copy that creature and attack with it.

[@LegenVD]

Reflection can't copy itself. You're thinking of the trick where you control two different copies.

[@nicholasiverson9784]

Can cast Doomskar through the lock if you need to deploy your combo before you have a wincon in play. Really powerful shell, can go pure combo, more aggressive, more controlling. Love this interaction :)

[@Teathymeterror]

One other consideration for these types of decks is trying to have win conditions that can be cast from graveyard since possibility storm only stops things cast from hand. It's only a minor gain but I remember years ago playing lingering souls and things like that in a modern brew I was playing.

[@giladbaer6433]

notably urabrask (new cappena one) also works here, just a little different. because you can still cast spells, but they still have the spells they already had in hand.

[@LegenVD]

I've featured it in a previous build of this archetype, but It's a bit of a nonbo with Possibility Storm (they can still casts spells through the lock if they're exiled) so it didn't make the cut here.

[@Ipeepyou]

Seems like you could use beneficial cycling/madness effects to bypass the effect on Possibility Storm lockout.

[@LegenVD]

There’s not too many of those in Explorer.

[@ScottyZee33]

35:27 You don't have to kill both Stitcher's Suppliers here if you want to prevent the opponent from milling more cards. With "Auto Assign Combat Damage" turned off in the settings, you can assign 2 damage to the first Supplier.

[@LegenVD]

Was fine with taking them both out since we had answers to the combo. Definitely remember doing that in the Shambling Ghast days.

[@jazzyroam1986]

[@AesirOdinn]

[@gregorygarrison572]

At 28:50, do you ever not attack with the Spellbinder to hold off the sheoldred (if only for a turn). Yes they know about your 2 damage effects, but like you said a little later, it's not a race you are winning, and 4 life mattered a lot in that game.

[@HarverTheSlayer]

Aw yeah, lock decks are always "fun and engaging"! One note: at 17:18, I think that a different play would have been to not play anything during your turn and wait for the opponent, with the plan being to block the Lavarunner with Aven Interruptor and finish it with the Stomp, and simply stop the Scar Mage with the Magistrate. The bonus point there being that you'd be able to get rid of Jegantha if they played it before attacking and, if not, they'd have to chose to either play Jegantha afterwards or finish the Magistrate, but not both. Then, during your turn, you could go with Fable and Giant if you got a land, or any of those + a 2 drop if you got one, or even Possibility Storm to get the lock and only worry about the one Ramunap Ruin if Jegantha wasn't part of the picture and you still had the Magistrate. Of course, the moment opponent got the second Ramunap Ruin you were pretty much screwed anyway, and it was a bit risky, but I'd say it had quite an upside. Although I might be wrong on this.

[@LegenVD]

Checks out! Definitely a very interesting game were it not for Ramunap Ruins.

I built a deck a while back with those two, but Urabarask is a bit of a nonbo with Possibility Storm unless we also have Magistrate in play. By exiling their cards they would get around the lock with High Noon or Archon since they're not cast from hand anymore.
