Cast Necromancer, trigger Inalla, trigger Necromancer, sacrifice Necromancer to Altar to make (2), resolve Necromancer trigger, target Necromancer in the yard to bring it back, trigger Inalla, trigger Necromancer, sacrifice Necromancer to Altar to make (2)...............
Have an arbitrarily large amount of mana and Inalla triggers on the stack, create an arbitrarily large amount of 3/2 haste creatures.
Not 100% sure if the Necromancer can return itself back to play, if I sacrifice him in response to his trigger, but I can, right?
Sorry if someone else already posted this obvious synergy.
bloodline necromancer cannot target himself, no, but the copy of him can. You must choose the targets when the ability is put on the stack (before you get priority so you can sacrifice him) but the copy trigger from inalla doesn't require any targets and it remembers the necromancer even if he's dead before the ability resolves. As soon as her ability resolves you'll need to pay the mana and then choose a target for the etb, but by that point you can already have dumped the original in the grave.
So yes, the combo works. Can use phyrexian altar too - no infinite mana, just infinite 3/2s, but that's probably good enough.
Except for the fact that it costs one each time around so what you are doing there doesn't have any overflow so all you get is a bunch of ETB and death triggers
Dragons, vamps, cats, and wizards.. if there was one tribe i expected to not care about combat it was wizards.
This doesn't feel very wizardy to me. I want my wizards to care about spells or to be a spell on a stick. Oh well, maybe the rest of the deck will be more Yidris-esque.

Relax man, there are at least 2 new wizard legends for us to see. Given the pattern of the other decks, it is likely that the other wizard legends won't care about wizards, so they will probably do one of the things you mentioned.

After you make infinite vampires, you can sac half of them for half-infinite mana.
Well the box art for the Wizards said 3 Legendary foils so I guess it comes down to how each of the potential commanders in each deck is considered a main one or not.

This is true there I go overlooking the obvious. Also it is not like it matters when you have an infinite army of hasty creatures either way.

"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again"
I'm not bent out of shape. I think we've all seen way more visceral comments than mine. I was just simply stating my disappointment and dislike for the card. There's 15,000+ cards in MTG everyone isn't going to like every card. This is one of those that's simply not for me, and didn't meet my personal expectations for what I thought we would get out of Grixis wizards. We only get 3 of these legends, and to me this felt like a waste of a slot. I wasn't calling for heads to roll or degrading WOTC, just my dislike. I'll make sure all future comments of mine are all rainbows and lollipops. But to be fair inflection is impossible online and I did put a sad face, but it wasn't meant to be whiny.
(All that being said Marisil is the kind of innovation and interesting card I was looking for!)
The usual extra hits with Purphoros and friends also apply.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
No, it doesn't. "End of turn" still happens, but "end step" does not.
Yes it does she has the same wording as Sedris, something mistook earlier and Sundial will work if used in response to the trigger going onto the stack in which case you activate sundial to break it and keep your token.
Puppeteer Clique with Ashnod's Altar is nice too, pay 6, get two enemies creature, sack the token +2 mana, get him back, one more creature, use the three enemies creature, sack the token + those creatures for +8 mana.
Thalakos Seer is a nice draw+attack option if you have lots of bounce (easy with that deck).
Magus of the Will is good and incredible really expensive way to sack the token
Oh good I'm not the only one who thought that... Intruder alarm is actually just busted with this card seeing as she can give you 2 triggers per creature allowing each creature to generate 14 damage. And if your opponents start playing creatures you can just machine gun people down.... yup... everything's just fiiiiiiine
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.

Someone should edit that. That functional difference is important. (That's what I get for using a blind browser to save data.)

Pretty dumb with Snappy, Venser etc.. double value all day
I assume you mean the Tenth Venser's blink ability and not the creature, since it says "nonlegendary".

He means legendary creature Venser as you can't run the planeswalker version with Inalla. You keep the real Venser from the legend rule, and get both triggers, using one to bounce the real Venser and the other to bounce a spell or permanant. It's like having Capsize+ with buyback.
I've used this combo with Riku of Two Reflections and Sneak Attack, and it got crazier when I followed it up Panharmonicon.
Oh, I thought it said "nonlegendary". I'm thinking too much of Kiki-Jiki for some reason.

Anyway, I do like the card. Plenty of fun things you can do with her.
(All that being said Marisil is the kind of innovation and interesting card I was looking for!)
No, it doesn't. "End of turn" still happens, but "end step" does not.
Also, this isn't a token theme, any more than Requiem Angel is welcome in spirit tribal.
So, what should I play with this? Apprentice Necromancer comes to mind. Disciple of Bolas? Dualcaster Mage actually could be fun. I guess a storm deck could use her with Goblin Electromancer or Magus of the Will. (Silly, I know, but there it is.)
The usual extra hits with Purphoros and friends also apply.
On phasing:
Yes it does she has the same wording as Sedris, something mistook earlier and Sundial will work if used in response to the trigger going onto the stack in which case you activate sundial to break it and keep your token.
Thalakos Seer is a nice draw+attack option if you have lots of bounce (easy with that deck).
Magus of the Will is good and incredible really expensive way to sack the token
Champion of Wits is a nice dig option too.
Cytoplast Manipulator can enter with extra(s) counter(s)
Spawnbroker help to change temporary tokens for permanent creatures... easier if you have Door of Destinies of something like that
Xathrid Necromancer can be very usefull with lots of sacks

And oh this is busted with Intruder Alarm.
On phasing:
Add Mana Echoes to up the issue even more. Panharmonicon and Conjurer's Closetmakes this even dumber since I think the Eminence is a comes into play ability. The general or a Supreme Inquisitor could be fun with this as a win con (as with the bouncing mage). Information dealer is also a solid low drop to smooth out draws for a bit. Nightscape Battlemage (the only one you can play) can quickly be very messy too as can Ovinomancer be (especially with a Cloudstone Curio). Profaner of the Dead is also a good way of using the tokens (as is any exploit card). Sigil Tracer can do some dumb things too. Thalakos Deceiver is also a good way of stealing creatures. Even Aven Fogbringer can screw over an opponent in this way. Izzet Chronarch and Archeomancer are good engines for recurring spells.
