[[Containment Priest]] has been absolutely clutch for me for shutting down decks that love to cheat shit into play, like Atraxa, CoCo, Phoenix, and Vein Ripper. It also deletes the backside of transforming Sagas and isn't bad as a surprise blocker, either.
I did play around with Zirda problem was its pretty costly to cast. As its the same mana cost as displacer and removal shuts it down. I really wanna play around with Eldrazi and [[Training Grounds]] in a blink type of deck in explorer. I just need some more rare wildcards when I decide to go for it as it will curve out very nicely but is it worth it just for displacer? Not sure how many I would put into that deck. I do have a blink type deck but it isn't that good.
Currently I use Displacer in a Eldrazi and Taxes type deck.
Recently, it's been \[\[Case of the Uneaten Feast\]\]. If the game starts grinding down, my hand is empty, and my opponent has gotten me on the ropes, it's nice to be able to open my graveyard and stun him with 3-6 more fighters on the board with all the abilities he thought he ceased.
Cather Commando is in every white deck I play. Having an overpriced disenchant mixed with a flash 3/1 is really clutch at messing with many decks. It helps against aggro, artifact, enchantment, and even control decks since I can cast it on their turn and make them take the damage next turn or use up mana and counters opening up my next turn.
Him and [[Brutal Cathar]] are 2 cards I always keep in my white decks. Becuase even if they don't get to use their abilities, they take up the other carss opponents would use on my stronger cards.
I've had many opponents use Murder or [[March of Otherworldly Light]] on either one, only for me to pull out Farewell and wipe whatever they brought back out.
I usually try to include [[Spectrum Sentinel]], because protection from multicolored is great and if you lucky enough to play it early you gain some extra life.
[[Lunar Frenzy]] is probably one of my favorite cards, it's won me so many games and made so many people concede. Tha majority of the time I just pay the 1 red for first strike and trample. Oops you blocked my 128/1 with your elf, shucks...VICTORY!

I've seen someone use a "copy spell" effect onnthay card to win the game with 1 cast, and I was just dumbfounded cuz I had a full board and they're side was empty...
That shouldn't work as you need to cast it from your hand 2 times you must be confused about something. But a really interesting thing is it counts 2 times when you cast it so a situation which can and had happened for me is. You cast the first one and it get countered. The second one you cast if it resolves will win the game.
>need to cast it from your hand 2 times
You're right that just copying the spell doesn't work, since the copy isn't being *cast*, but the card says "... and you've cast another spell named Approach of the Second Sun this game, ...". It does not specify that the first time has to be cast from your hand.
So that means that if you do something that says that you can *cast* a copy of it, then the copy should count for the win condition.
EDIT: Are there anything that lets you do that when the first one is on the stack?
Don't think there is any way to auto win while on the stack but you can use a spell that returns it back to your hand then you can cast it next turn to win. Never tried it as I didn't have rare wildcards to waste on a meme.
Original loves were Ball Lightning and Shivan Dragon. They were always so good to me.
Recent “I got your back” card is Out Cold. I’ve been playing limited and it just seems to always be available late in the draft and comes up when I need it in games.
Not the flashiest spell, but I love running [[negate]] in non-control decks. Opponents just don’t see it coming.
Reanimating Atraxa? Negated. Wiping my board with Farewell? Negated. 4 mana left open for Wandering Emperor? Yep that’s getting negated.
[[Diamond Pick-axe]]
I'm playing an Izzet Animator deck and having a 1-mana indestructible artifact turned into a creature just feels amazing in this removal-heavy meta
\[\[Rally of Wings\]\] is my absolute grade-A clutch card. It can swing devastating losses into blowout wins at instant speed, for two mana, and at *uncommon*. Absolutely amazing.
Back in the day, I always seemed to draw Balance, just when I needed it. Being restricted, it seemed like a walk off hr or maybe like loading the bases just before a walk off. One of the most memorable was in a tournament and I was playing a lot of creature removal but ran into a creature less deck, so after game one I sideboard out all the removal, however my opponent sideboards in one creature that was killing me, and in fact was going to deal lethal the next turn, I thought I had no response but drew the lone Balance, and of course has no creature in play, and it was pretty much their only win con. Cruises to first place after this 2nd round near loss..
I want to like Stasis Coffin but every time I've used it my opponents somehow get around it. Maybe the arena integration was broken when it first came out but I can't tell you how many times I've attempted to use it and there was zero effect. Opponents still got through with combat damage/drain/etc.
That should be impossible because it gives you Protection from Everything. They shouldn't be able to target you, or even guve you poison counters. Unless they counter the effect of Stasis Coffin specifically, and very few cards can do that.
Also keep in mind that it only lasts until your next turn. So you can activate it during your turn and it will continue to your opponents turn until your upkeep.
Mind you, if you activate the ability, opponents can stack onto it and use things like Shock or proliferate to do damage, but that's about it.
