Let it be known across the land that GG Crono 4 just got nuked at Magic.
The scene: He has 500 (yes, five frickin’ hundred) 1/1 Squirrel tokens in play. I have 2 Elvish Archers, a Towering Baloth, and a Prenumbra Wurm.
Impossible to win, right?
Wrong. I play a well-timed Lure on one of the Archers and send my other, much larger creatures, as well as said Archer, to attack him.
500 squirrels, and I got by every single one o’ them in 1 attack.
EDIT: Oh, and GG, no offense, but I just HAD to post this…

If you have the time to get out 500 squirrels and he’s not dead yet and that’s all he has, I’m sorry, but you’re just bad
Okay, first off, he played several Explosive Vegatations early on.
Second, I got all those squirells using the Squirrell Nest+Earthcraft combo. Most of them were tapped, anyway, but I STILL could have survived if he didn’t play that lure…

Eh, they weren’t playing in a tournament cala, lay off
No, it’s okay. I make all my decks Type 1 legal, and I was under the impression that Earthcraft was just restricted, not banned.
Hmmm…
Sounds like I’ve gotta add Lord Zhou Yu to my list of people I wanna play magic against…
I wanna find a deck that’s better than mine (I’ll probably eat those words now, but so far I’ve won at least 50% of the matches I’ve played… Vs three different opponents with different decks and tactics…)
If you have AIM, pokefreak, I’ll gladly play you anytime.

My friend has a very very bitching zombie deck. I’ll try to get him to post it in a different forum, then I’ll paste it here.
I must say nicely done, Zhou Yu. Those sounded like near impossible odds, and you still manage to win. Well Done.
