FatFreddiesCat on Using Illusions of Grandeur

I have Muldrotha, the Gravetide as my commander. I have Illusions of Grandeur and Sundial of the Infinite in play. If I don't pay Illusions of Grandeur cumulative upkeep, can I use Sundial of the Infinite to end the turn before losing the 20 life? If so, does Illusions of Grandeur still go to the graveyard so I can cast it again with Muldrotha, the Gravetide?

I just absolutely love this! Illusions of Grandeur and Donate was one of the first combo decks I made and I still love it! The Burning Wishes to tutor from the sideboard is really nice as well. My decks never had anything so sophisticated :)

Jwar Isle Oysters

Land Creature - Oyster Food

Jwar Isle Oysters enters the battlefield tapped

: Add or

, , Sacrifice Jwar Isle Oysters: Gain 4 life

, Sacrifice Jwar Isle Oysters: Exile target creature card in your graveyard. Until end of turn, you may cast that card.


Is a card with two types and two subtypes broken? Maybe, but I don't care. That's some Johnny shit, and while I try to pretend that I'm a Johnny at times, at heart I'm just a Timmy with Illusions of Grandeur.

I really like the second option of the previous challenge, so I'll pay it forward. Make an animal that isn't represented much and bends the color pie rules.

Ninja'd with a wildcard. Challenge stands.

Epicurus on Killing by giving opponents "positive" …

Since you mentioned mana burn, there is of course Yurlok of Scorch Thrash. There are a lot of ways to abuse his ability with your own cards (I especially like Blinkmoth Urn and Belbe, Corrupted Observer with Yurlok). But there are a lot of cards that could be donated to add to his destructiveness. Braid of Fire and Black Market come to mind, but I know there's more stuff that forces you to add a ton of mana.

Also, my all-time favorite donate move is Illusions of Grandeur.

Spell_Slam I'm pretty sure that the correct wording for what you're going for there would be "...your life total becomes the total amount of mana spent to cast [CARDNAME]." However, I would think that it would be better suited as an ETB trigger rather than a "when you cast" trigger, since the latter would trigger even if the spell was countered. Just as long as your opponent doesn't have something to Flicker it with.

No card in mind for the challenge. Current challenge is: "Create another card that cares about Devotion and has lots of Devotion in its cost."

Being a huge Zedruu fan myself I gave your deck a look.

You are aware that Iona, Shield of Emeria is banned in EDH?

A few interesting suggestions to consider:

See my verion for more interesting options and possible ideas.

Have fun gifting!

I stumbled upon your deck. I am a Zedruu fan myself and run a deck. See my approach with token and removal centric build for possible ideas.

Some cards that came to mind looking at your deck:

Good luck gifting!
