Against the Odds: The Millennium Calendar (Standard)

by SaffronOlive // Nov 17, 2023

Hello, everyone, and welcome to another edition of Against the Odds! Lost Caverns of Ixalan is finally here! I couldn't really decide between playing Throne of the Grim Captain or The Millennium Calendar for Against the Odds this week, so I decided to do both! We already played Throne of the Grim Captain on Wednesday which means today we're trying to win the game by putting 1,000 time counters on The Millennium Calendar as quickly as possible with the help of Teferi, Who Slows the Sunset and The Enigma Jewel to speed up the process by doubling up The Millennium Calendar's time counter doubling ability! What are the odds of winning by getting 1,000 time counters on The Millennium Calendar in Lost Caverns of Ixalan Standard? Let's find out on today's Against the Odds!

Anyway, that's all for today! As always, leave you thoughts, ideas, opinions and suggestions in the comments and you can reach me on Twitter @SaffronOlive or at SaffronOlive@MTGGoldfish.com.
