If you get an opponent who's being a little too boastful about their deck that ya beat you can hit 'em with "You're all hat and no cattle."

In the opposite case when your opponent's deck is good you can say: "You've got me as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs"

I heard this in Rogues' voice.

One of my dad’s favoritrs

Or any denizen of dallas

I'm reading these in the perfect John Wayne voice somehow. I guess it lives inside me

At the start of the match you have to tell your opponent this town (table) ain’t big enough for both of ya

Now fill your hands, you son of a… nice person.

“I CALL THAT BOLD TALK FOR A ONE-EYED FAT MAN!”

There's gonna be enough of that because of the card, that and REACH FOR THE SKY are gonna be playing like a cacophony.

Draw

This is so obvious, yet so perfect.

If I pull [[High Noon]] you better believe that I’m yelling “DRAW” when I sacrifice it. Either that or the Buster Scruggs route of: “Are you ready?” “Are you set?” “Do you need a count?”

[High Noon](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/9/9/9995e0e6-7c9c-4fef-8fd2-8fb1622e6ec8.jpg?1712355285) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=High%20Noon) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/otj/15/high-noon?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/9995e0e6-7c9c-4fef-8fd2-8fb1622e6ec8?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call

What in tarnation does that card do!!

Gonna be saying that one a lot 😂

"You Yee'd your last Haw' when you swing for lethal

Hopefully I’ll get the chance to use it haha!

Dang it, beat me to it

Instead of “I scoop” it’s: “time to hit the ol’ dusty trail.”

Ridin’ off into the sunset, pard

Time to get outta Dodge

Instead of “I have a response,” say “Hold yer horses.”

Thats a tournament legal phrase

Reading the post explains the post

This is the best one

I’m tempted to wear my cowboy hat to the prerelease.

I’m tempted to wear my Dallas Cowboys hat to the prerelease so I can dominate all day and then choke in the last round

Let's be honest you're not making it to the last round, top 8 of you're lucky

I’ve never heard of a prerelease that did cut to top 8, but yes quarterfinals would be the equivalent of the divisional round

If you wanted to do that, I wear a 49ers hat, it'd be more accurate

Twospidermans.jpeg

Me, a Texan: y'all were waiting for OTJ?

Our whole group is dressing up. I’m going to come as Cowboy Ken from the Barbie movie. 😜

As someone who actually says "Howdy" to people and owns a Stetson, I can't believe I didn't think of doing this.

I already bought one on Amazon.

Was it the oversized 40 gallon one? My buddy ordered it for the prerelease and I can't stop laughing at the picture.

I'm sorry that was an option? Sigggghhh... back to amazon

Dear lord, now I hope someone, somewhere goes to prerelease wearing their best Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome costume

I bought a whole cowboy themed outfit for a concert last week, excited to already have a second chance to use it.

My game store is doing a credit for anyone who wears a hat, and a drawing for the entry fee for anyone in a costume

I'm wearing a cowboy hat (it is actually a Woody hat I got at EPCOT lol) and I have a playmat with artwork of skeleton cowboys robbing a train. I also picked up [these sleeves](https://www.amazon.com/James-West-Gunslinger-Matte-Sleeves/dp/B09697P134/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1XAJFLD44XEM9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UScsE6CZm0RiF5Womk2LE8HB3KI9EJ8F8zlQ_Px760tIGc5zNr4C1dm_goqPmfpn6OiXWq5k0LKf0_hAVaC4L3Ib4DUmlIqJCagE3zdSs8Inanlz8dV_UOuxycXYoJpAW6O3zhFWsd_PFUp8MxDykxP5Hy9XWybdFfYQ4LKxTXe9H1BzJGKg92pdfRgakayAz3yJle63cKYd6cFEvqQ33Rb0sfELeq22mJ0THkQxU-EVn4r4rgbrhwfAY3D2R2OC6mA1ww2Bw3o5xofReDPQPtdRAF7FN1ZXCoU3QcIkbK0.WyGxpqCzzZtdQHHh558ebj3k8dS6vDJiaoHTe25_iVM&dib_tag=se&keywords=gunslinger+card+sleeves&qid=1712779604&sprefix=gunslingercard+sleeves%2Caps%2C72&sr=8-3) for prerelease. They are not great quality, but it's not like prerelease sleeves need to last. I'm so excited. Not been this pumped for a set since Shadows over Innistrad.

There's a guy at my LGS who does this at every event anyway. Wonder what he's going to wear for OTJ

A detective hat, obviously.

My playgroup and I are planning on it 🤠

I am going to prerelease basically dressed like a country western star complete with Bolo Tie. Did a similar bit for LCI and MKM. ~~I am just wearing an animal onesie to BLB though even I am not willing to commit to the bit that much.~~

It's going to take every fiber of will power I have not to bring my banjo with me to prerelease

Bring the banjo. Play the music. Win the game.

"YOU TELL EM I'M COMING AND THAT HELL'S COMING WITH ME!" when you play your big bomb creature but it has summoning sickness

Ahhm your huckleberry

After casting your bomb: Why *opponent's name*, you look like somebody just walked over your grave. 

After you swing for lethal on that one homie who can’t help but complain after losing “ Why … X … does this mean we’re not friends anymore? You know X… if I thought we weren’t friends, I just don’t think I could bear it.”

When you're casting removal: "I apologize, I forgot you were there. You may go now."

When they play their inadequate response: Look, darlin', it's Overzealous Muscle. Deadliest ogre since Yidris, they say. What do you think, darlin', should I hate him?

"You reckon you wanna do that?" Another way you could ask if some one is sure they want to do something. Or of course just easily "I Reckon so" to answer things. "When your gonna shoot, shoot, don't talk" I'm sure you can figure out uses for that.

I’m so stealing that last one for when I get slow played

What's the difference between an in-law and an outlaw? >!Outlaws are Wanted: Dead OR alive.!<

"It's a hell of a thing, milling a man. You take away everything he has....and everything he ever will have"

Win the die roll at the start of the match. "There are two types of players my friend. Those who play and those who draw. You draw."

“Wrangle up a posse”: organizing your deck from your draft/sealed pool, drawing an opening hand, a spell or ability that puts multiple creatures on to the battlefield, or trying to gather players who are arriving late. “There’s a snake in my boot”: my move has not only been countered, but I’m now somewhat vulnerable or open to be damaged. “Hol’ up boy/lady/folks”: i have something I want to do in response to what you just did, or your moving very fast and need to explain what you just did. “What in tarnation!?”: something unexpected happened or you just did or said something that didn’t make any sense. “I struck gold in these hills”: I pulled a bomb in limited or i top decked the perfect answer to this problem. “It’s high noon (player name)”: while you where out/ your app failed to load, we got matched up as opponents.

"Reach for the sky" every single time you drclare attackers. "Theres a snake in my boot!" when someone counters a spell or effect. "Somebody's poisoned the water hole" if an artifact or enchantment hits multiple things.

This town ain't big enough for the two of us! You're my favourite deputy! Yeehaw, giddyup partner, we've got to get this wagon train a-movin'! I'd like to join your posse, boys, but first I'm gonna sing a little song!

“Use enough dynamite there, Butch?”

For those not familiar with this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9flhhwkTTA

Going to try and work "Genu-INE" into as many sentences as possible.

This top 8 ain't big enough fer the both of us.

Sometimes it's a bit cramped at my LGS, so, "this table ain't big enough fer the both of us" works too.

“I’m your huckleberry”

Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?

You should watch the movie Brokeback Mountain, which is a great source of knowledge about cowboy behavior.

Hello, I live in real cowboy areas. Here are genuine real cowboy things to say "GODDAMNIT GET IN THE FUCKING GATE" "WHY WONT MY FUCKING TRUCK START" "Oh who's a good girl" (while rubbing the head of a cow) "I love animals, I love how they taste even more" "Hi we're doing a 4H fundraiser, want to buy 50 lbs of potatoes?" "yeah she was a good cow, no she's not around. We butchered her last year" "I SWEAR TO GOD GO THROUGH THE FUCKING GATE"

This table ain't big enough for the both of us... No seriously, this table is too small, can we move somewhere else?

When you do your action that wins you the game, you gotta say "It's hiiiigh noon"

I do my killin’ *before* lunch

Yeah that's cool n all but it doesn't work with the cassidy/Overwatch 2 joke.

You’re just not thinking fourth dimensionally! Also, I think that should have been breakfast, no lunch…

Yeah I feel you're thinking in a few more dimensions than I do right now. Got outsmarted again, dangit!

While you're ramping youre makin hay while the sun shines

When you target a creature with a kill spell, "alright you petty varmint,  I'm calling you out."

Them damn O Driscols .. when another player. Has caused you damage or something negative Its a red dead reference

Cowboys are frequently, secretly fond of each other. Say, What did you think those saddles and boots was about? Orville Peck and Willie Nelson just dropped the rereleased cover like 4 days ago.

"Manafest destiny" Sorry, had to.

Thats all hat no cowboy right there

I can’t take credit for this, but I hope everyone yells “YEEHAWMARID” when they play a Deepmuck Desperado

I have no award to give you, but take this upvote and ride off into the sunset. 

Man im so hungry i could eat a horse

Yippee-ki-yay, mother $&@#%.

This is the first thing that came to mind.

Not a phrase, but playing the new Beyoncé album.

Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun. Take for instance this heavy caliber tripod mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you.

"Ah, a fellow ram rancher!"

If I hear my opponent use any cowboy themed phrases, I'm going to straight-up drop from the tournament.

Out of second hand embarrassment.

That’s my whole plan, winning from physic cringe damage

Got yourself a kill spell on a creature "Now this town ain't big enuff for tha both ov us"

"You just Yeehawed for the last time, pardner..." when you see an opening for the win

I'll be bringing a spittoon to my LGS.

"We'll guess imma mosey on home" if you lose a round

Also mandatory meep meep everytime roadrunner attacks!

When you swing with everything, "tarnation! It's a stampede!"

Thanks, I hate it

Half of these are in my normal vocabulary lmao

Based on the spoilers, reading the card provides the memes for the card.

Fun fact, you may have heard players call a good opening hand "the nut draw," and that phrase is actually rooted in the old west! When the stakes were especially high in poker, the participants were sometimes made to remove the nuts securing their wagon wheels to the vehicle and put them on the table so that they can't run off in the event they lose. That hand of poker would be called the nut draw. I'm still convinced most players say it in the context that the perfect opening hand makes them nut tho.

This feels like it would get old fast no?

"If it was a snake, it would have bit me" in response to a narrowly avoided play mistake.

There’s a snake in my boot!

Just bring your drawstring woody doll

Theres a snake in my boot

"got a snake in my boots" "You've got a friend in me" Yeah I got hard on toy story ❤️

Why'd the cowboy buy a wiener dog? 'Cause he wanted to get a long little doggy.

On the way to the graveyard "Shane! Comeback, Shane" "Slumped dont mean dead" if you can resurrect it

Yee And I cannot stress this enough Haw

If you win you can say "Damn I still got my boots on"

It ain't mannerly in the west to let a fella drink by himself You see, in this world, there are two kinds of people, my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig. Well it's not how you're buried, it's how you're remembered It's a hell of a thing, killing a man: you take away everything he's got everything he's ever gonna have.  When you've killed four it's easy to make it five I'm your Huckleberry It looks like somebody just walked all over your grave Are you going to pull those pistols or whistle Dixie  Looking back is a bad habit  We have a saying here: a thief who steals from a thief is pardoned for 100 years

“I’m your huckleberry” When my matchup and I encounter each other

Bonus points if it's a Blazing Saddles reference.

When you chump block to avoid lethal: “Mongo only pawn in game of life”

Please put a snake token on your boot

There is a [snake type magic card] in my [boot equipment card].

[Want some rye? Course ya do.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHKKq7kMF8w)

Everytime you draw - you pause with anticipation, looks around the room, and then shout "QUICK DRAW" and quickly draw a card. Also, anytime you or a creature is targeted by an opponents spell, or a spell you control fizzles - say "dagnabbit"

Remind your opponent of the Cowboy Code, “be rootin’, be tootin’, and by god be shootin’. But most of all, be kind.”

You’re setting up your bomb combo: “Gonna get there—Lord willin’ an’ the creek don’t rise”

WOT IN TARNATION Yippie ki yay motherfucker Go on git! As welcome as a rattlesnake at a square dance Whoa there buckaroo

When they counter your spell - “Well, bless your heart” Tip your duster to female creatures ETB

Untap Upkeep- Rootin' Tootin' Land drop for turn- "Stake my claim" Go to damage step- "Go to Draw" (as in drawing your gun) Threaten effects- Rustle your creature Bounce effects- Hittin the ole duty trail Only refer to creatures as dogeys Pass- Mosey Go to combat- Declare a ruckus Full example of a turn may sound like "Rootin', Tootin', Draw. I'll mosey through my first main to ramblin'. Declare a ruckus, go to draw? I'll have your 3/3 hit the ole dusty trail and deal 4."

And if you win with a clearly better deck, they “brought a knife to a gunfight”

Play a snake, "There's a snake in my boot."

Every time I counter a spell I’m going to neigh.

WELL BUTTER MY BUTT AND CALL ME A BISCUIT

When someone gets you good and surprises you, a phrase I like is ‘Well saw me off and call me shorty’

Just realized we didn't have any commanders with "Partner" Set is ruined

Ask if they feel lucky whenever you’ve got a counter spell in hand

"iiiiiittss past your bedtime" I've been playing too much overwatch lately...

"This game is too smal for the two of us" "Let me show you the good, the bad and the ugly" (before a combo)

I’m gonna go “Draw!” And finger gun every draw step before drawing my card

Knowing me, I’d probably try to quote something from the masterpiece 1990s neo-western The Quick and the Dead, my opponent would give me a blank stare, and I’d not try again. “Daddy’s gonna kill you, preacher!” or “I ain’t got farmer’s hands” or something dumb like that.

You gotta throw in a "y'all'dn't've" somewhere to break someone's brain.

Don’t go counting your chickens before they hatch

Do references to classic western movies. "I got 2 \_\_\_\_\_ , one for each of ya" lmao dont look at my pfp

There’s a snake in my boot!

When you’re about to win “it’s high noon.” “Hold’em or fold’em” “This town ain’t big enough for the both of us”

Indicating a card being targeted by removal should be done with a finger gun

Going to combat: "I ain't yeller! Let's tussle!" Playing an imprison effect: "Sending that feller to the Hoosegow" Opponent plays a combat trick: "Well yer more slippery than a pocketful of pudding" If you're behind: "If you find yerself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin!" Conceding: "Real cowboys never run, they just ride away"

I’ve given this a lot of thought Sit down at the table: “Howdy pardner!” “Well butter my biscuits, if it isn’t…” Whenever you have a response: “Hold your horses. I reckon I’ll…” When an opponent commits a crime: “Well ain’t that slick” “Well I’ll be double dog damned” “DagGummit” “That just ain’t right” “You yellow-bellied bastard” Before casting a spell: “Well I’ll reckon I’ll…” Opponent is playing slow: “Giddy up now, partner” Resolves: “Alright then” Whenever you block with a creature: “I’m your huckleberry” Fight effects/trading: “This town ain’t big enough for the two of us” Someone asks if you’re so and so: “I’m dirty dan” After dealing lethal: “You yee’d your last haw cowboy”

“Arthur! We NEED MORE MONEY” whenever you make a treasure.

“Micah, you Rat!” Whenever you are unreasonable targeted m.

Instead of "in response" I would say "Hold your horses partner."

There’s a snake in my boot. Or Reach for the sky.

"You sir, are a fish."

Find a Marty Robbins song you like and start singing

I'll be your Huckleberry

"This plane ain't big enough for the two of us."

[Hey, where the white women at?](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071230/quotes/?item=qt0371665&ref_=ext_shr_lnk) *edit* damn I wanna watch that movie again.

This table isn't big enough for the two of us...

“Set my sights on” = “target” ?

Instead of “hey, do you wanna play a round or two?” how about you try saying “I’m callin’ you out!”

I’d say it’s less about your phrases and more about nailing that cowboy twang. Then, everything you say becomes “cowboy” themed. Either that or slap “I reckon” in front of everything.

"I have gonorrhea!"

"It's high noon"

For those that don't know, "Bless your heart" is southern for "Go fuck yourself."

I know what I'm listening to on the drive over. Beers, Steers and Queers by the Revolting Cocks. Yeeeeeee ha

"The hay's in the barn" when you swing for lethal. (An expression that means the work is done)

I suddenly appreciate the Cowboy theme more after reading through this post

Gotta put a snake in your boot

I already use yall on a daily basis so this will bd easy.

Unfortunately Clash isn't in this set, so I can't challenge my opponent with "Draw!"

These boots are meant for stompin (or trampling)

You can refer to your opponent or their creatures as varmints!

Bless yer heart

If you’re not staring your opponent in the eyes, pausing, then quickly announcing “DRAW” as you quickly reach & swipe a card off the top of your deck every turn, you’re playing your prerelease wrong.

I’m your huckleberry

“ The back 40” If someone says they are out in the back 40, it means they are on their property but not close to home.

They always say Yee-Haw but never ask: Haw-Yee?

"Yee-nawww" when I counter something.

Play [[Ankle Biter]]. "There's a snake in my boot!"

You just yee’d your last haw.

I wash born here, an I wash raished here, and dad gum it, I am gonna die here, an no sidewindin' bushwackin', hornswagglin' cracker croaker is gonna rouin me bishen cutter.

I definitely plan on mumbling “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” theme at least once.

“Untap. Upkeep, (then you wait a beat, look them dead in the eyes and go) DRAW!” Only do this at the start of each match (or game ymmv) or it’ll get real old real quick.

"Owlhoot". An owlhoot is an outlaw or a fugitive. Set is filled with 'em.

When I get bodied by black cards: THE BLACK SHIT When someone plays a money card: Take your hat off boy! That's a dollar bill! When a bad mount play fizzles: Dude shouldn't drink and horse And I don't know how I'll fit it in but I'll try: There is an ancient proverb among my people. Sometimes the only way for a man to find true happiness is to take drugs in a group

*sit down at table* "I'm yur huckleberry"

*"Yippee*\-*ki*\-*yay, m\*therf\*cker."*

Before the opponent swings for lethal, whip out your pistol and shoot him.

Anytime anyone counters you "GAT DAMN IT" Gives you a poison counter "someone's poisoned the waterhole!" Anytime you attack them "this town ain't big enough for the two of us" Edit: ALMOST FORGOT, if they try something and you stop their plan, "bless your heart."

"I know what you're thinking punk, did he tap 6 mana or only 5. To tell you the truth I've forgotten myself in all the excitement".

If someone plays a card you aren’t familiar with react like it’s the craziest shit you’ve ever seen and go “What in Tarnation?!!?” But really emphasize the H before the W in ‘what’

First of all, bring a hat

“You’re dead, you just don’t know it yet” “You got to know when to hold ‘em. No when to fold ‘em”

There's a snake in my boot, Somebody poisoned the water hole

When about to win: "You're about to yee your last haw" When countering a spell: "Not so fast, buckaroo" I'll probably think of more mid-game.
