Cast panoptic mirror, imprinting crack the earth while Imperious Perfect is on the board. During your next upkeep step, simply pay (G) to generate a 1/1 elf to sac to the copied crack the earth. This will lead to quite a setback for your opponent. (Provided it is played in the proper deck.)

Ideally it should play like this:

Turn 1: Copperline gorge down, tap for birds of paradise, pass.

Turn 2:Mountain, tap for seething song, down comes the mirror, pass.

Turn 3: Forest, imprint crack the earth for 1 mana. Use the remaning mana to cast Imperious perfect, pass.

Turn 4: Untap, generate a token for (G) during upkeep, then laugh at your opponent who has to sac. a creature.

Awakening Zone or Breeding Pit are both considerable options for this combo, but this way I can gradually build up to an elf-ball while my opponent tries to deal with the panoptic mirror. Meanwhile a few well placed land removal spells sets them back for REAL.

PS: Thanks to Dracolich for giving me the idea of turning a minor annoyance into a real one.

Bro, crack says sacrifice permanent. 

So you don't have to worry about getting rid of lands.  They can't ditch the mirror fast enough the might as well concede! 

Very evil of you!  Nice.

I so want to use this.

Something that makes two sacrifices might be better, if there is such a card.

i have a better idea.....Imperious Perfect and Smokestack. Same combo, only much less costly, much easier to pull off.

Ironic reasons why they are missing

Shakii: Got lost...again...

Waterfall: Lost at sea...

George: He's a frycook down at the steak n' shake... (Not sure how that's ironic...but hey...you try coming up with something better!

I was looking at the join dates.

Shakii joined first. Gericault joined 35 days later. I joined 13 days after Gericault. Twogun joined 3 months after me (I think).

And Jester joined 9 months before Shakii.

Alright, fine. I'll reorganize it.

Gericault5 35 days later.

Me 13 days later.

Lin three months later.

Twogun eight days later.

(All of the dates are in reference to the previous person's join date)
