Easy, the MTG player actually wants to draw more therefore the +4 benefits him. Neither the gun nor the rooks stand a chance against him at this point.

Yeah but they're playing mono-W so unless they draw into another plains, probably nothing too threatening is hitting the field.

Unless they draw into their Heliod + Ballista combo

... or a tutor that lets them find their Heliod + Ballista combo

[-] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

You're forgetting that 22 is probably instant speed, which means ballista is dead before it can combo off. So white needs something else to win because strategically black is better with the extra rooks.

[-] complacent_jerboa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hmm, true. I suppose they'd need something like Angelic Grace to protect them

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 22 points 1 year ago

No bullets in the revolver and it didn't belong to checkov so it's not important anyway no more csrds to draw from. So A for sure

Have you considered bribery? The drugs may improve performance, but they're addictive, and expensive. That gun could go for a fair amount of money.

Black bribes white to throw the match, and white saves face by pointing out blacks rook count. Player b wins the game, but the international chess committee send them a very, very strongly worded email

Unfortunately, Bribery is a blue card, so it's not in the color identity of either player

its gotta be b bros got 4 rooks on the board he's just missing the sorry piece that white has. the only chance player a has is spending all their lands on a blue eyes white dragon or smth idk i never played poker

[-] complacent_jerboa@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It depends on what kind of deck the white player has. If it's cheap hate bears, stax, or board wipes (all the good things in mono white, in other words), then I think they have a solid shot

technically lands are colorless, plains just produce white mana

otherwise everything seems fine and legal here

The winner's spirit is revenant-capable, so the only thing the gun can do is assure a draw. The heart of a champion, while useful in some rites to please the gods is still mortal. So only civil victories are attainable here at least without making an ectoplasmic mess.

I would say the revolver but in response to getting shot in the head you just swords their king, checkmate.
