Over my Dead Bodies

Enchantment

Creature cards in graveyards can attack and block as though they were on the battlefield, can block or be blocked only by creature cards in graveyards, are Zombies in addition to their other types, and have undeathtouch. (If they would deal damage to a creature card, exile that creature card instead.)

Creature cards in your graveyard have haste.

As far as Over My Dead Bodies goes, it still wouldn't work. The act of discarding it will make it leave the battlefield, so if it was already attacking or blocking, the equipment would fall off, and OMDB will only let you interact with it via spells and abilities once it is declared as an attacker or blocker from the graveyard. There's just never a time when it is a creature on the battlefield during the resolution of Urza's Hot Tub's ability.

Now for Kindle the Carnage it depends on whether it was cast or not. When you discard a card with Madness (such as Fiery Temper), it goes to exile until you decide to cast it or not. If you cast it, it moves to the stack, and the LKI is from exile. If you chose not to, it goes to the graveyard, and there is a rule under madness that says it can be found. 702.35c After resolving a madness triggered ability, if the exiled card wasn’t cast and was moved to a public zone, effects referencing the discarded card can find that card. See rule 400.7i.. In either case, the mana value would be the same.

Ah, shoot. LKI from the graveyard was what I'd feared, but makes sense.

So what you're saying is... I'd need to have Over My Dead Bodies in play, do this during the combat step, and also have something like Leonin Shikari in play to equip Masterful Ninja again in response to my own Hot Tub ability. This all only being relevant only if Spy Kit changes the card's name in addition to the permanent's name in the first place. Got it.

Oh a more sane note, how does Kindle the Carnage work with Madness cards? Where does it get the information from?

if you wanna bend the rules a little may i suggest Over My Dead Bodies? it costs 6 mana but your zombies are never truly dead. they will return to fight for you in combat.

@RubyOrzhov Ahh hmnn Ill try to add him in... I didnt like him at first because I cant even pretend that he synergizes with Mary

Thematically I want to add in Enter the Dungeon as well but its kinda pricy

Maybe i should take out Over My Dead Bodies, but at least it synergizes with killbots and mary

Are un-cards cool? If so, Over My Dead Bodies. Else, Ojutai Exemplars. Either way, next one's an S.

alright. with a zombie deck you need to have Over My Dead Bodies from Unstable. your creatures in your graveyard become zombies (even though they are already zombies) and can attack and block as if they were on the battlefield. as such can get any buffs just like a creature that is on the battlefield. (though this is for attacking or blocking only.)

a zombie deck? then add Over My Dead Bodies. your dead creatures will come back from the grave long enough to fight for you before they leave again. and since they will be zombies they will get any buffs long as they are "on the battlefield" (they aren't really on the battlefield but if they are attacking or blocking they are considered to be on the battlefield and therefore get any buffs your other creatures provide.)

Why would Undeathtouch not exile a creature that's on the battlefield if it was dealt damage by a creature card in the graveyard animated with Over My Dead Bodies?
