Which episode is that picture from? I have no recollection of it, which means it was not from Raisin the Stakes but could easily be from any non-rock opera episode.

What an excellent show.

This thread needs more misplays.

Did you see what I just set my avatar to?

How is that not an Internet misplay?

Is this necessarily a mistake? Like, can you expect to see COP red there, and can you expect to beat COP Red from that position (what were life totals etc?)

lol avatars!

I guess he's implying he forgot he had the Blast just long enough to say go and get blown out by the CoP, making a minor and usually-inconsequential mistake really important?

i dunno, but the more universal way for this to go south is for you to topdeck another burn spell next turn and realize you don't have the mana to play it and blast for the win. I have certainly done that one. "let's wait until it'll be lethal before i start burning face...yes, i ripped more burn...oh"

i don't get that one

<llarack_> slearch, you here
<slearch> yes
<llarack_> in that sshot, shouldn't you grab early harvest
<llarack_> hope to peel a land and just win?
<slearch> that's what i did
<slearch> i did not peel the land
<slearch> i should have gotten echoing truth
<llarack_> was bringer in play?
<llarack_> i guess not
<slearch> bringer was on the stack
<slearch> you can see it under the wish
<llarack_> ah
<llarack_> oh ok
<llarack_> i guess that play is ok because then you can play heartbeat and truth his bringer
<llarack_> then try to go off next turn
<slearch> yes
<slearch> because if bringer hits
<slearch> it's likely plow plow plow
<llarack_> he grabs cranial?
<llarack_> oh
<slearch> also
<slearch> with truth
<slearch> he may not have another red
<slearch> since he used tendo
<llarack_> if you play heartbeat
<llarack_> he has plenty of mana
<slearch> oh right
<slearch> but then i am off to the races
<llarack_> i like screenshots like these
<psamms> f yu
<llarack_> hi psamms, you crazy canuck
<psamms> oh i'm crazy alright
<slearch> i probably should have just deeped on my turn anyway
<llarack_> what had you wished for before?
<slearch> nothing
<llarack_> oh
<llarack_> you boarded out a wish?
<slearch> i think so?
<slearch> like
<slearch> there are no instants in my hand
<slearch> idk what the grave is
<slearch> i know i ended up losing but i don't know how
<slearch> he either plowed me to death or cranialed me to death

I knew going into the UG Madness extended mirror that Waterfront Bouncer is always the correct play turn 2, but I played Mongrel instead and my opponent played Bouncer t2 and I got crushed.

Oh that reminds me:

Extended PTQ quarterfinal, UG madness vs rock. I forgot to side in stifle against his deeds.

ONS block PTQ quarterfinal, RW slide against his GW slide. I forget to side in enchantment removal.

Bad plays I've seen other players make:

Mana Leaking a Putrefy targetting Plaxcaster Frogling

Playing Temple Garden after attacking with a 1/1 Kird Ape

Missing the unearth card in the graveyard that would attack for lethal

Missing the interaction between Soul's Fire and that 6/6 Jund guy that returns a card from your graveyard whenever you deal damage to the opponent that would be lethal

Rupture Spire turn 1

BRUTALITY

Yes. I knew he had CoP in his deck and ours was usually good at sneaking one or two points through it with Sorcerer or Arc-Slogger, but sneaking a Shrapnel Blast through was going to be a lot harder.

My favorite misplay my opponent's done was round 10 of GP Philly 08:
Me: Zoo, 3 life, summoning sick Lavamancer (1 card in yard), tapped Sacred Foundry, untapped Stomping Ground
Him: * Level Blue, 1 life, lots of land, tapped Shackles on my tapped Goyf, untapped Goyf, untapped Shackles, Divining Top, known counterspells in hand
His misplay was saying go at end of turn instead of Shackling my Lavamancer. He figured he could just respond to whatever I played by Shackling my Lavamancer and then countering it. As soon as he said go I went and quickly untapped, drew my card... and played my Wooded Foothills. GG, sir.

Even after winning the match I made a huge misplay by not catching the fact that he shuffled in my foil Tarmogoyf that he had shackled.
He gave it back at the start of round 11, before I presented.
The biggest misplays I've made that I know of slash remember are round 13 where I Vindicated Adam Yurchick's Urza land instead of his signet to keep him off colored mana which ended up costing me a near-guaranteed top 8, and round 2 of PT Hollywood where I somehow lost the Faeries vs Lark matchup by letting him Broken Ambitions me out and then untapping and dropping Crovax.

This thread is custom made for me!

Facing an attacking Twinclaws, i blocked with grixis grimblade, kathari screecher, and dregscape zombie. The problem here is grimblade was not turned on, do i lost 2 men in fisrt strike damage.

Probably my biggest punt to date. 3 for 0.

I once played a Garza Zol when I had another one on the board (in draft).

I also once played a Caldera Hellion forgetting that in addition to the +1/+1 counters my opponent had on his spectral tokens, he also had an anthem (the Hellion ate two of my dudes and did nothing to his board).

oh this reminds me of a pretty bad misplay that literally every opponent of a friend of mine made. it was when this card was on the table:

[card]heartwood storyteller[/card]

i watched a match he was playing against B/G loam. he had storyteller on board, and path to exile'd his opponent's dude. the opponent sighed, shook his head, and tutored the land. when he lost, he complained about how he never drew any of his relevant cards. apparently, this sort of thing happened all day. cards are just amazing when your opponent doesn't know what they do.

i laughed pretty hard to myself
