I was worried we were going all in on the "combo", instead using as an alternate win condition could be viable in a local metagame. Not very good, but spiiiiicy! Pretty excited to see if we pull it off at least once!

Agreed with your closing comments. In a format like Standard, I think it's fine to have the calendar was a control durdle win condition, but legacy is too powerful for that to work. It just takes too long. Turboing it out with the mystic forge package is probably better, especially with paradox engine. But, if you're doing that, I think Aetherflux reservoir is just better at doing "the thing".

Alternately, you can run All Will Be One, which lets you deal 1 per counter you put on each permanent you control. Basically, get the Calendar to 20, play AWBO and tap the Calendar to nuke the opponent.

With some basic math, for you to win with The Millenium Calendar you need 7-10 activations of its ability in most circumstances. The untap step ability is only really relevant to get you started. The only way for the untap step to affect the number of activations is if your untap phase generates as much or more counters than a single activation, so once the number of counters gets beyond 8 the untap phase effect will be largely irrelevant. So for example: You play the clock on turn 1, then start going on turn 2: You start with 1 counter (the land you used to play it) and somehow get turn 2 engine going to untap and generate enough mana to do all the activations => 10 activations Alternatively, if you just activate it every turn starting turn 2 and do nothing else: 9 activations since your turn 3 untap step (1-2 lands + Calendar) bumbs you from 2 => 4-5 counters, thus removing need for one activation. Let's look at another scenario: you play the clock a bit later and have 8-15 permanents to untap the turn after. You now only need 7 activations of the clock to win. With all that silly math aside... Yeah, it's not really something I'd do in Legacy, unless you really want to build a dedicated Paradox Engine setup for it... And even then there are better ways to abuse that combo that don't need to either a) wait a turn so you can get the initial time counter(s) on it and start or b) use Jhoira's Timebug to start the process and win.

I'm building a Derevi deck in EDH around this card, because ignoring the static growth you need 10 doubles to reach 1,000 which seems plausible between Derevi and bouncelands/dorks that tap for 2. Also running Helix Pinnacle, you can keep adding/doubling in response to Derevi triggers to use all that mana at instant speed. (PS, The One Ring + Derevi will deck you quickly so Labman alternate wincon could even work, deck is silly)

Was excited to see you play "The Calander" I do think it would be better suited in just a colourless shell running mystic forge. I pl ay Ka rn , Silver Golem in CEDH as a stac heavy deck with silver bullets for the meta. Best Calander Opener I've had/goldfished was 2 lands(one is Urza's Saga) Mana Crypt, The Calander, Mind Stone, Headron Archive and Unwinding Clock. Starting in 1st position If left unchecked you would Win on P4 T3 after fetching a key off Urza's.

Honestly, I think it works best in an improvise-stax style deck. Set up a Calander and a couple lock pieces, use something like Whir of Invention to break parity and tap artifacts which would otherwise just sit there. Not that it's actually good, but that's the shell I'd take a crack at first.

Wanted to do this before but with green instead having GSZ target like Seaker of Skybreak, and protection with Logolas' Quick Reflexes, which combos with Skybreak also. Maybe have some silver bullet like Allosaurus Shepherd, and maybe Natural Order for another win con.

i noticed a play pattern in the very first game that didn't sit right with me, and i felt it was worth mentioning now when you're doing the Karn + Coating thing, why not put a stop in your draw step so you don't have to skip combat? Coating doesn't require you tap it as a sorcery, so why not save your precombat main phase?

The Millennium Calendar would have been a legacy staple combo card if they didnt print the part about it needing to be untapped during upkeep. It would have been completely reasonable as a turn 2 kill with Turn 1 sol land, Lotus Petal Basalt Monolith into The Millennium Calendar or just win turn 1 with another fast mana.

I feel like you aren't supposed to use Calendar as a combo piece or win condition. It's more supposed to be like a Delver, where you just play it for 1, it sits around for a turn or three, then you spend your spare mana doubling it for inevitability. The main downside of it being an alternate win condition is that it doesn't do chip damage where a Bolt can be lethal or turn off Ancient Tomb etc.

No priority, and no triggered abilities go on the stack in the untap step either. The only things that happen in the untap step are things that happen automatically, and then all the interaction gets handled in upkeep. The only way to accelerate the millennium calendar really is to just activate it a bunch of times.
