This thread is for the discussion of my latest article, Cranial Insertion: BOOMER!. We would be grateful if you would let us know what you think, but please keep your comments on topic.
Q: My question involves Waves of Aggression and Wort, the Raidmother. How does the conspire ability work on Waves? Will I get two additional combat phases? Also, can I play Waves for the retrace cost from my graveyard and conspire the retraced spell?
A: That works out very well for your horde of attacking creatures. Each copy of Waves of Aggression will insert another combat phase and main phase into your turn, as long as it's during a main phase when it resolves. A retraced spell is played, so you can pay its conspire cost when you play it. This is a great way to take out a lot of excessive rage on your opponent, who probably deserves it anyway.
Well, no, that doesn't work out very well for your horde of attacking creatures. You can do that, as you said, and you'll get two combat phases, but your creatures won't untap in between them, and the creatures that you used to conspire won't have untapped in the first place. So unless there's something going on where only 1 creature can attack each turn, or you have a way to untap creatures, it's going to work out the same or worse than if you hadn't conspired it.

I was going to point this out. Needs more Serra's Blessing.

Interesting article. I agree with thallid as well; awesome username. I did a double take when I saw it. Yay for Star Wars and Lando (and Vuffi Raa of course).
