About six weeks ago, i started playing on Cockatrice. It has its flaws, and you play against a noticable number of mongoloids, but it's free and i'm always broke. At least it automatically adds pictures, which is an improvement on Magic Workstation.
Naturally, i've been testing Mono Black Control a fair bit and today I had a beautiful moment. My opponent was playing an "original" white/green Golem deck using Solemn Simulacrum (good) and Tempered Steel (good) alongside the Splicers (not so much). Naturally, i drew badly and was playing my removal spells almost immediately - the incidental lifegain just about keeping me alive. After he cast Precursor Golem i had to use my Black Sun's Zenith just to stay alive, shrinking all his Golems to 1/1 (and killing the Splicers, but who cares).
And then my eyes lit up. I drew Consume Spirit and laughed out loud as i sank all my mana in to it, happily raising my life total from two to 26 and killing all of his Golems, thanks to Precusor. I was happy to stabilise for the time being, but it was even better than I first thought. Looking at the chat window, my opponent had given me a fairly standard "??" followed by "you targetted Lodestone." I explain to him, since he apparently doesn't understand his own cards, that it copies to every Golem since Lodestone Golem is, shockingly, a Golem.
Next, he did was any self-respecting 'netizen' would do when made to look like a moron: he left the game.
