Hopefully I remembered how to do tags. But this is my deck. A little funky but I love it. I keeps decks like Reanimate in check. Counterpart is great for my ETB creatures. Insta-Geists, Conscripts, Thundermaw is really good.
So I have a Double Strike creature, lets say Mirran Crusader, and he's equipped with Sword of Feast and Famine.
He goes unblocked, doesn't get destroyed and deals damage to the player.
Am I able to:
Tap lands for mana before first strike,
Deal first strike, they discard and I untap,
Tap lands for mana before second strike,
Deal second strike, they discard and I untap,
Tap lands for mana again,
And while I'm still in Combat Phase (It's not 2nd Main Phase yet), use all the mana for a White Sun's Zenith and get the Cat tokens?
I tried to keep that as simple as I could. Thanks.
There are no timing restrictions on the activation of the ability, and as such, it can be activated whenever - even if there are no creatures attacking. However, it wouldn't "carry over" - if you activated it when there are no creatures attacking, nothing useful would happen, even if you attacked later the same turn.
And now tec edge is a threat... *sadface* tectonic edge
Contested War Zone.
Skip the first part. Skip the second part. Go to the third and last.
What I would like to know is can this ability be done only during combat, or also during the main phase(not asking about second main phase)?
So if I were to do this ability during my first main phase, and then go into combat, would my attacking creatures get the pump?
Or can the situation only be, "Ok these creatures are attacking, and I'm activating this abiltiy from War Zone."
Ok so I have a Wurmcoil Engine and this fool has 2 Valakut, the molten pinnacles, and enough mountains for them to be active. Primeval Titan is played and 2 mountains are brought into play.
Is he able to put 6 damage on the Wurmcoil, and then wait for the 2 tokens to come out and deal 3 damage to both?
In a situation like this you never waste your Lightning Bolt. It's always good to have Arc trail or landfalled-Searing blaze in cases like this.
I like the Goblin guide though because he's constant 2 damage, he tells me what cards they drew, and usually he overfills their hand, so they'll have to discard.
Oh Goblin guide. You never steer me wrong.
Which would be better though if you splash green? Naturalize or Back to nature?
Ive been playing Standard and felt like playing Double Standard so I'm not sure if Enchantments are that much of threats. Like Leylines and Bitterblossom.
I would like to add my two cents into this.
I built a green deck recently and of course I got the ST's. After seeing how good it was I considered it a sideboard for my Big Red Deck. It certainly does work with the meta having so much control.
One situation I won't forget was a T2 Perilous Myr->Leaked->Trapped = Inferno Titan. 5 Life on T3.
I've gotten funny looks for putting a green card in my sideboard, but with the meta the way it is, why not? It works. Especially against somebody I haven't played before.
I think it's ridiculous that Magic didn't make Emblem token things for the new planeswalkers.
As a owner of a complete set of Koth of the Hammer and pulling of his ultimate enough, I felt I deserved a token.
So by taking off the first layer of a mountain card, I drew my own emblem.
Maybe not so impressive but I love it.
This is my phones quality since my camera is broken...
Garruk over Overwhelming Stampede any day of the week, in almost any green deck.
Overwhelming Stampede has too many "stipulations" and Garruk has nothing but options.
Untap land? ok.
Need a chump blocker? ok.
Make everything decently large and have Trample? ok.
For 4 cmc.
or
Hope i have something decently large out, hope that it doesn't get destroyed in response to my stampede, and hope that i have enough little guys to back up the attack and make it worth while...
For 5 cmc.
I know this is 3 pages back but I just wanted to point this out cause I love doing this.
With 6 forests (at the very least), I play the Stampede, look for responses. None? I have one, a green pump (perferablly Primal Bellows.)
Wins games. Though I haven't used this with Infect.
*Cough!*Vampire's Bite For all your pump and lifegain needs*Cough!*
*Cough!*Prey's Vengeance Does wonders when used with the Lash*Cough!*
*Cough!*Primal Bellow In those monoG builds*Cough!*
*Cough!*Virulent Swipe For rebound and deathtouch.*Cough!*
Just felt like these needed to be adressed.
And everyone can agree on this?
No offense, I just want to be absolutely clear. Since a couple people had problems with it I can just say "Last Known Information" and it'll make sense?
So I have a Magma Phoenix equiped with a Basilisk collar.
Here's what I want to confirm:
If there's a whole bunch of 4/4s and 10/10s on the field and I say... Bolt my own Magma, When he hits the graveyard does the deathtouch take effect(lifelink too of course)?
