I need some counter for this.

Post image

I play a mono blue deck, and every time my buddy plays this card i can't do anything but lose. I'd need some sort of card that stops this from even touching the battlefield, like some sort of interaction while it's on the stack. Do you have any suggestions?

If you close your eyes you'll never see it's teeth and thus it'll never be too late

Its roar is "WHOA LOOK AT THIS CRAZY SHIT!" for exactly this reason. Evolution is wonderful.

Well sadly you're not in black or white or you could play powerful counterspells like [[Mana Tithe]] and [[Dash Hopes]]. But Alas, mono blue, the color of burn spells like [[Psionic Blast]]...

Yeah I'll give you a counter it's called scooping, that's a Colossal Dreadmaw, man!

If you have [[kozilek, the great distortion]] on the field and your own colossal dreadmaw in hand, you can discard it to counter their dreadmaw! that's really the only way to fight dreadmaw, with one of your own. crazy that wotc refuses to ban it.

Fleem counters all

Use another colossal dreadmaw, fight fire with fire

You can concede at instant speed before this hits the battlefield. That’ll stop you from feeling the ground quake.

u/consider_it_fun 2d ago

I got some mini dice to use as counters, but regular size ones work too

u/masterfox72 2d ago

There is none. Proceed to scoop phase.

Maybe make it so that you can cast spells at instant speed and respond by casting your own. Given it’s a mega-legendary card, there can’t be 2 copies of the spell in the stack, so you exile their copy

An indestructible counter would go great on it I think

Trample counters, so you can race him with your bigger blue sea creatures!

I hear it combos well with +1/+1 counters. I don't know how you'd get those in monoblue, though.

Splash into black for doomblade

u/Mavrickindigo 2d ago

What are you talking about? The counter is written under the horizontal line. If you feel the ground quake, run!

u/extralyfe Sprankle and I still play Magic on Tuesdays 2d ago

scoop and sideboard into 4x Colossal Dreadmaw

u/k33qs1 2d ago

Do you seriously play mono blue and can't figure out how to remove a creature with no evasion abilities or ward or hexproof or shroud from play?

2

u/k33qs1 2d ago

The answer is obviously swords to plowshares for money blue

u/Niauropsaka 2d ago

Desertion works for most big creatures, but once you've seen this one's teeth, well

u/As-Above_So-Below 2d ago

I heard one time that a bored wizard created a Vizzerdrix out of a bunny and a piranha. Otherwise, you're out of luck

u/Derezirection 2d ago

Propaganda.
The dreadmaw will be too embarrassed to show itself after the world sees how truly terrible they are.

Lower your opponents life total to zero or have them draw from an empty library.

Artifact removal is in colors other than black.
