The problem is the costly upkeep.

unfortunately they have Vanishing....

What a play

One time in an eldraine draft i used a thing of roasted peanuts i got earlier as food tokens lol

Good catch!

thats why you don't put mana rocks in the same area as your lands..

Yeah, that's a very common and silly mistake... I always recommend to put mana rocks somewhere else, but nobody listens to me :'(

Ultimately didn’t matter. Didn’t take the damage

First strike plus deathtouch is nasty

@@nanoacido5174 that isn't the abusable element of the card though ;)

Yes, its kinda weird to see black/green that is artifact heavy. I tried Glissa way back. There are so much you can do and so many interactions, also many builds (infect/proliferate, tax, etc)

I built a recurring murderous theme style Glissa that seems to run amazingly. I would say, to anyone building or running the deck, there are 2 required cards. Viridian Longbow and Thornbite Staff Either one attached to Glissa makes her a murder stick and Thornbite can kill armies if you have the mana to spend.

Came here to say this, any creature with flying triggers it, not just your own

Aidan Weiss-Rice very cool! I didn’t know that.

Me too thanks as a Johnny

I'm picking up the Anthology set soon so that I can not have to rely on others bringing it.

@@MTGMuddstah Sounds awesome, can't wait.

seems like they used a centaur tokenas a stand it seconds later. and then Daniel rifted anyways

Sure. It is a three card combo involving Aetherflux Reservior, Bolas's Citadel, and Sensie's Devining Top with Aetherflux Reservior being the finisher. Aetherflux Reservior gains you one life for each spell you have cast in a turn every time you cast a spell and allows you to pay 50 life to deal 50 damage. Bolas's Citadel is used in the combo as it allows you to play the top card of your library by paying life equal to its converted mana cost. Sensei's Divining Top is used in the combo as it can be tapped to allow you to draw a card and put it on top of your library. Once the combo is assembled, you tap the Top, draw a card, and put the Top back on top of you library, pay one life to cast it using the Citadel, and gain life back equal to the number of times you cast it from the Aetherful Resevior. Since you can keep casting the Top, you gain more and more life each time you cast it and can eventually use the Aetherflux to pay this gained life and deal 50 damage to your opponents. This combo is not infinite as you have to draw a card for each Top activation.

Thank you so much! Very appreciated.

No, Alela only triggers on cast.

@@Onattamato Oh yea, still think etb would have been better, but i guess some form of balance is needed.

The Living10 You realize that if it was on etb then she would go infinite with herself, think about it.

@@nicholasberry8456 Yea Alela+Mycosynth latice. Probably others too.

The Living10 Lol my bad actually, I thought she spawned artifacts not faeries.

Yes, but sometimes you don't want a) opponents to untap (e.g. for a counterspell), b) an end of turn effect to happen (e.g. Jin-Gitaxias), c) an upkeep effect to happen (e.g. create fearies or adding mana). Or you want it to be bait, or lastly and least you may want to look like a noob to later surprise them.

Cyclonic Rift just stone ages such decks.

Playing with powerful cards will do that.

Cause EDH tends to build to combos rather than straight damage.

Cause a combo is easier than dealing 120 damage. It took him 15 mana (he couldve saved 4 by just tapping his top instead of cryptic) and 3 cards to assemble. Pretty tame

How often do you win without it? Just curious, not trying to be rude about it or anything.

Sure it's a lame way to get wins, but it works!

No thanks
