Esau of Isaac Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) That doesn't work, because it effectively acts as a counterspell. I think. Maybe. Edited June 25, 2010 by Esau of Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defeatist Elitist Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think WotC recycled that spell description into a DnD power somewhere, because I've seen it before, and I think that's where I saw it. Except it was: "Someday, someone will defeat me. But that day is not today, and that person is not you." Or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It exiles all, so it doesn't counter and it will work. Also, Mindbreak Trap also works for the same reason. It does work on uncounterable stuff.

I'm not sure, though, since it specifically says it removes them from the stack first, which is what a counter is meant to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I know for a fact that exiling a spell overrides 'can't be countered'. I've seen my Emrakul get hit with a Mindbreak Trap. Not fun at all.

Not fun at all. Oh, oops, I read the card wrong. I thought it first said to remove them from the stack, and then exile them. Which would be weird. And Emrakul can be countered. He just has protection from colored spells. That doesn't work on cards like Mindbreak Trap that don't directly target him. Same would have worked with, say, Wrath of God. Edit: Ha, oh wait, he can't be countered. Ha ha, I'm crazy. Edited June 27, 2010 by Esau of Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same would have worked with, say, Wrath of God. Yeah, okay. Wrong! The first line of Emrakul: "Emrakul, the Aeons Torn can't be countered" (I'm reading the card as I write this.) He also has protection from colored spells. Which is why I generally have an Oblivion Ring saved for use against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fayt Zelpher Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 One minute too late. Something like that. Not like it's impossible to deal with Emrakul: O-Ring, Journey to Nowhere, Day of Judgement, Jace 2.0 (-1 unsummon), Gideon Jura (-2 ability), etc. Stuff like Consuming Vapors also works.
