Oh god, I just had one of the most glorious games I have ever played. Format - Explorer. Me - Selesnya Angels. Opponent - Mono G Aether Reservoir combo.

Mono G is a new combo that's possible thanks to Nykthos Shrine of Nyx. It utilizes Kiora, Karn the Great Creator, and Pestilent Cauldron//Restorative Burst creating a repeatable loop that effectively gets you infinite mana and with Reservior it ends up getting you a ton of life for activations... and hoo boy did my opponent need a lot of activations. However, what made this so damn sweet was once he had enough life to do me in he gave the early GG. If we were playing in real life and he played exactly like that, the smile on my face would have told him he was giving the wrong GG. He activates reservoir one at a time, uses the final activation that he can afford and bam! Collected Company! I slap down Bishop of Wings #3 (gain 4 life when you play an angel) and Resplendent Angel. After leaving himself with just 5 life there was nothing to stop my army of Giada boosted Angels from flying over and killing him.

Moral of the story, never be the one to say GG first unless you're the one that lost. Otherwise you're being rude, and you never know when an opponent will punish you for it.
