Two multiversal arch-mages prepare for a legendary duel. They summon the power of the earth itself. They fight an unseen mental battle, each attempting to scramble the other's mind into nothing. They conjure fantastical beasts and powerful allies out of thin air. After a few minutes, one of them steps back and casts one final spell, and the battlefield goes quiet. No more spells, no more magical creatures. He walks up to his opponent, pulls a sardine out of the pocket of his robe, and slaps him repeatedly in the face with it.

Your most realistic means of winning that game was to double block the remaining creature and kill it, so the 2/2 was better to have on board than the 2/3. The weird interaction between swiftspear and possibility storm where the first spell triggers swift spear before being exiled just makes that situation worse.

Funny how you made this Boros Control prison for pioneer utilizing High Noon. Just yesterday I experimented with Standard Boros Token Control using High Noob fairly. Since the Rule of Law effect actually is very strong vs the aggro decks who're desperate to vomit out their hand. Midrange seems to hate High Noon as well since theyre trying to establish engines which can be sniped easily since you can just go 1-for-1 with them with removal without fear of being overwhelmed.

You may place something into plot. But playing the plot card still counts as a cast. So you're still restricted to the 1 cast per turn. Had someone try to set up that Rhino guy who gives counters on ETB. Still couldn't get around High Noon so the Rhino was an ez target for removal, giving no value.

Get a chance to find my High Noon off of Possiblity Storm. Can sometimes win games on their own. Doomskar is hidden tech. Because Possiblity storm only affects spells cast from the hand, it allows me to blow up the board while my lock is in place (admittedly, not the Magistrate half). My wincon lands are Castle Ardenvale and Westvale Abbey. Mostly due to wildcards. Partially because Abbey is a petcard of mine.

To answer Seth’s question about whether high noon is busted on its own, the answer is that in about half of matchups, it is easily the best card in the format (though it is mostly dead in others).
