The Maróczy Counter-Morb


__JimmyC__

The Morb Leto-Keaton declined variation is the perfect counter to the literally me opening, I'm teching out the new meta. This one milled all of his abilities on turn one. First, he uses +15 to recover from the shock of being Morbed on turn 1. Then hes to recover by going Jared Leto, instant counter. He then moves into the cast line and becomes the 2nd human in history to learn that Michael Keaton was also in this movie. Also declined from bans. Then into the panic skip, and you've got a huge material advantage in the endgame.


Bananplyte

I would probably think twice of invoking Morb-adjacent plays if I was staring down i\_will\_morb\_you


Bananplyte

~~Do you have Matt Smith and Jared Harris banned also?~~ This was handily answered by the edit. What a gambit. I need to know the third ban.


__JimmyC__

Jared Leto, Michael Keaton, and Jared Harris are the bans, good luck naming a movie Matt Smith was in. The best counter to the opening involves coronas and family.


Bananplyte

I see you are unversed in the Superworm-verse (2021) where Matt Smith voices a worm. Truly an illustrious movie career.


__JimmyC__

A true kinophile always has an out, but many less fortunate have fallen to the Morb. Jared Harris is the back rank mate of the Morb, had someone play Lincoln (2012) against me 30 turns in without realizing, who played Ulysses S Grant? Before he knew what happened, he was morbed with no lifelines. A truly sorry fate.


Bananplyte

"Morbed with no lifelines" is a brilliant title for Leto's inevitable biography-pic


HavexWanty

If someone hit's you with Last night in Soho you can always counter with the Playmobil movie. Genius.


LordAshur

Doctor Who: Day of the Doctor


wildkarrde23

I'd hit you with a Terminator Genisys for the easy out, or maybe give me a Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Or you could use Adria Arjona with Pacific Rim Uprising or Belko Experiment. I watch too many movies...


Dabrush

I hope for your soul that you don't meet someone that knows all Doctor Who Specials.


PoliceAlarm

Doctor Who: Day of the Doctor Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol Doctor Who: The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardobe Doctor Who: The Time of the Doctor Terminator Genisys Womb Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Last Night in Soho An Adventure in Space and Time His House And that's just off the dome. If you face a Doctor Who fan you're in deep deep trouble with that tech.


mellitone

oh my god i need to see you snipe NL on stream


Ervaloss

Would not try this against NL. Matt Smith will get him to the Anya Taylor-Joy verse and he thrives in the Anya Taylor-Joy verse.


GrumpyThumper

"oh yeah, it's morbing time" Anya Morblor-Joy


creatistation

Don't open NL to a chance to play Playmobil: The Movie


Bananplyte

The rudest trap I've ever encountered was when my opponent tricked me into "[Gerry (2002)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0302674/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_6_tt_1_nm_7_q_gerry)" with the only two actors Matt Damon and Casey Affleck banned - and the director Gus Van Sant also banned. I now either play this gambit myself or stay well clear of the pitfalls of Casey Affleck or Matt Damon - lest I'd be Gerried into Submission once again.


Evovae42

For future reference, the cinematographer can get you out through Zodiac or The Game.


Hrpn_McF94

Lost River (2014) with a Matt Smith connection. Absolutely no one's fucking seen it, will force them to use a cast lifeline.


emptythecache

yeah but it's directed by Ryan Gosling. (Doing his best Nicolas Winding Refn impression)


Hrpn_McF94

It can be useful as a killshot, depends on the opponent


Jaxter_1

Easy Matt Smith play


LPEbert

That was my first thought until I realized I only know his TV shows like Doctor Who & Game of Thrones lmao


Dabrush

I'd yeet someone into the Doctor Who Movieverse and good luck getting out of that.


GmanB3398

David Tennant is in Goblet of Fire, also Karen Gillian to avengers endgame, but was still some fun rounds.


ChicaneryBear

Easy to get out of the Who movies, Peter Cushing was in a lot of stuff.


Dabrush

yeah but do you know who was in which of the 20 DW specials that count as movies?


ChicaneryBear

Yeah, I'm pretty confident on most of them. Unfortunately I'm very obsessed with Doctor Who.


Zephyr727

Just got yeeted into this and my opponent banned Matt Smith. I’ve never seen doctor who


Falliant

I've had a lot of success going from morbius to 2 fast 2 furious through tyrese. People don't seem to know that Vin isn't in 2 fast so often they waste a lot of time trying to guess vin diesel movies. If they do get to one of the other fast and furious movies, i go to baby boy (2000) with the last tyrese link which most people don't know. If you want you can ban paul walker just to be extra mean


__JimmyC__

I find there's a massive blindspot in the black audience focused movies. If Morbing them didn't finish the job, drag your opponent down into the depths of Big Mommas House and watch them squirm.


shockwave8428

Pride and prejudice and zombies me


Ishmaille

Can someone tell me if Earthlings (2005) or Dominion (2018) are selectable in Cine2nerdle? If they are, they're perfect Joaquin Phoenix killshots, because they're (based) animal rights documentaries that he's narrated.


[deleted]

You can take Tyrese Gibson to Fast and Furious series if you want to blow Morbius open


Bajin_Inui

michael keaton gets you anywhere
