#WinCons
JD Vance plays Esper Control with no wincons.
JD Vance keeps trying to convince people to play Teenagers From Outer Space, but every goddamn time he does the game turns into a slasher movie or hentai.
JD Vance has a prepared monologue on why the Imperium actually *are* the good guys.

idk like i know it's a hard sell but ive built the deck in a way that really tries to maximize flavor and doesn't have wincons that use non-phyrexian creatures.

hank starts to thaw on it until bobby embraces alternate wincons

my toxic magic trait is running infect :3

no but actually it's probably that i really love grindy alt wincons and control decks even if they're slogs for my opponent. i can't help it, i love a little engine that Might
My toxic magic trait is that I think wheel decks make for interesting games.

Also I like playing an overloaded cyclonic rift and then playing windfall. It’s mean as hell but very funny.

What’s yalls toxic magic traits?

here's the full deck, given it's progression series it's not *perfect* but I managed to make another very mean deck with some very funny wincons and ways to get those wincons out quickly

Thank you @mentalmisplay.bsky.social

Great games.
Got so close to a couple different wincons before I died.

Guys... I really wanna play modern now. I mean look at this beautiful collection of wincons. Its enough to bring you to tears.

This is ultimately founded on some people's belief that games of Magic should by default end with combat. That's false: wincons such as infinite combos, storm, stax locks and mill are part of Magic and they should be as much accepted as combat is.
I really dislike the narrative that combat is always fair and appropriate in MtG. For example, Boros Energy can be as oppressive as a combo deck, despite usually winning with combat. A Craterhoof win is not so different from a combo win. Where is the limit of what we consider "fair" just 1/2

6) Last but not least: now how your deck wins. Make sure to include specific wincons, and try to have at least 1 or 2 backup wincons in case your main gameplan is disabled.

7/7

This is one of the wincons in my commander deck (usually coupled with Jace’s Archivist, Consecrated Sphinx, and an untap effect)

Alternate wincons are fun.

As a self-appointed Secret Lair sommelier, it is my duty to share with y'all any and all Swcret Lair news.

We have a new SL commander deck going up for sale, and it's called "20 Ways to Win." Based on the description, it is a deck all about alt wincons.

desperately looking through my entire collection and I have zero wincons to build around

Alternate wincons, let's go!
Sadly, we do not have an early access Aetherdrift game for you. (We were not in early access)

But we do have an amazing alternative win cons game to celebrate International Optimist Day!

More alternate wincons spoiled for the upcoming Secret Lair Commander Deck. Including new art for a fan favorite.

and tbh it makes sense. Games become games by virtue of all parties agreeing to follow the same rules and collaborating on making the game happen. Social deduction games work because there's a framework for making those deductions, like knowing how many traitors there are, or their wincons, etc

This took a VERY long time to engineer through out the last two weeks to get the schema right as part of a much larger project.

On Commander Template, now you can tag cards in your themes as wincons or multipliers. You can also turn a theme into an 'engine' theme that gives you recommendations.

5 one-card wincons is kinda hot ngl

Today's haul.

Signed APs of Near Death Experience and Twenty-Toed Toad continuing my collection of alt wincons.

Got signatures from @darkpactcosplay.bsky.social @seraphsix.com and @danafischermtg.bsky.social on their Unknown cards.

Got to meet @nicoledubin.bsky.social for the first time. I hope

My wincons are almost always relatively broadcasted, my decks aren’t super sneaky

"Just ban the first two dogshit unfun wincons that pop into your head, doesn't matter which ones just pick."
