Every You "Lose the Game" Card Ranked from Easiest to Hardest


A few months ago, we ranked all the "win the game" cards in Magic, but in a 1v1 game of Magic, making your opponent lose the game is exactly the same as you winning the game. As such, we're doing a follow-up today and ranking every "lose the game" card in Magic from easiest to hardest to achieve! Technically, there are 72 cards in the game with the text "lose the game," but most of these cards are designed to kill you if you are too greedy, essentially using "lose the game" as a drawback. While you can technically kill your opponent with some of them—for example, by using Donate to give your opponent Demonic Pact or using Hive Mind to force your opponent to copy the pact—these cards don't qualify for our list today since they aren't designed to kill the opponent directly. This leaves us with a total of 18 "lose the game" cards to rank! Anyway, let's get to the list!

Ugin might read like in a way to where you'd load your deck up with a bunch of random colorless spells but Ugin might just be good on his own! This Golgari Ramp shell will test that.
