Hello everyone. This is going to appear as a n00b question, but I just started playing TNN without putting very much thought into it (I know, bad idea, but it wins and I'll play anything but Aggro).
What do you usually search for with a resolved Tooth in various matchups?
Auratrap
Artifact (UC)
You may choose not to untap Auratrap during your untap step.
:3mana:, :symtap:: Remove target enchantment from the game as long as Auratrap remains tapped.
Quaking Ground :2mana::symr:
Enchantment (C)
At the beggining of your upkeep, flip a coin. If heads, destroy target land. If tails, sacrifice a land.
Shapeshift :2mana::symu:
Enchantment (UC)
Enchanted creature has ":symu::symu:: Sacrifice this creature. Search your library for a creature of the same converted mana cost as this and put it into play with Shapeshift enchanting it. Then shuffle your library."
----
Maybe Thrice-Blessed Ningyo should lose a +1/+1 counter. Other than that, very awesome/flavorful.
I've been doing some work on my set, Aftermath (based on enchantments), and I've come accross two cards that I think... MAY work, I don't know, that's why I'm asking.
Voice of the Winds :3mana::symw::symw:
Creature- Elemental (R)
Voice of the Winds can't be put into a graveyard for having 0 or negative toughness.
When you control no white enchantments, sacrifice Voice of the Winds.
5/0
Into Eternity :3mana::symu::symu:
World Enchantment (R)
Treat creatures removed from the game as though they were in play and treat creatures in play as though they were removed from the game.
:1mana:: Remove target creature from the game or return target creature removed from the game to play. Any player may play this ability.
Cast Down
Sorcery (R)
As an additional cost to play Cast Down, pay 10 life. Target player loses half their life, rounded down. Yawgmoth could feel himself being cut off, from his world, his power, his creation. His Phyrexia.
If I get a response (please respond -_-), I'll also post more cards.
Afterthought: I should probably change the activation cost on Into Eternity so it isn't so easy to do.
Okay, before we cut off my head and move this to casual, let's uhhh, let's hear me out first.
The deck works similar to U/G Squirrel Opposition, only instead of mana acceleration there's Sunscape Familiar, Squirrel Nest rejected for Raise the Alarm, and things of that sort.
I'd post an explanation of my card choices, but I'm quite tired but I wanted to get the list up anyway for some faster feedback. I'll be here to defend my choices after someone responds.
Post counts can sometimes (not always, admittedly) be a way to gauge a member's impact on the community. And, seeing as I'm trying to be a better member of the MTGS community (by posting useful messages mind you), I'd like post counts to stay, because...

And then you say his name?

And maybe I'll learn something too.

NAH!
PS: The sideboard is terrible.
Seconded. Why would they tease us so blatantly if it's not coming back for atleast another year?
[/Wishful thinking]
...
Alright. I just like the big numbers. Sue me. >.<
Is the monkey stealing an artifact, and then when he dies, breaking it in a fit of rage? How would he have time to do that when he's dying?
*clears throat* Er anyway.
I don't like the dragon. Dragons should be majestic, powerful, expensive, fat, and rare.
Otherwise you've got some very creative cards, Immortalize being my favorite.
The rest of 8th? Eh. Maybe Karma.
Ah, who am I kidding? I'm in love with this set and I'm atleast getting a box. >.<
It should tap for :1mana:, so it conforms with the 'rules' of lands.
