Release the Dogs

Sorcery

Create four 1/1 white Dog creature tokens.

CamraMaan on Sunstrike Legionnaire and multiple creatures …

Pretty simple question... Sunstrike Legionnaire is on the BF and I cast Release the Dogs... due to the timing of everything my assumption would be that I can only use the Legionnaire's tap ability once for the spell, but I can't seem to find any info one this. My hope is that I can use it for each Dog that enters the battlefield, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance! :)

Oh that's nice!

Worst case scenario is that Release the Dogs gives you four 1/1 vanilla dogs for four mana respectively which isn't amazing but works well enough. More importantely however, if you have out something like a token doubler or ETB effects such as Parallel Lives, Cathars' Crusade or Impact Tremors I feel like it does a lot! Moreover it's a fast way to repopulare your board if needed ^-^

Yeah I totally get that :/ Both, the Cat and Dog SL went so far up in price that I got to spend money on the Lightning Greaves only instead of the whole thing >< That being said I also really like

in my deck and the art is big serotonin ^-^ ~

Aspect of Mongoose is not the prettiest or cutest art but for some reason the tigers derpy face gets me every time... If you want to check out the whole thing >>> Rin and Seri, Inseparable | Insepawble Friends

Rith's Grove or Ash Barrens provides great mana fixing. Let's say you don't have white, but your hand has a lot of white spells. Either of those lands ensures you get a white source untapped the turn you draw it. Abundant Growth is another valuable card as it provides a permanent source of color fixing and you draw a card off of it meaning it won't take away too much from your strategy of cats and dogs.

As for creatures I'd recommend Bolt Hound over Zodiac Dog. Same cost and stats, but Mountainwalk is sort of an outdated keyword and Bolt Hound effectively pumps all of the cats and dogs. If you'd rather keep Zodiac Dog for artwork then a good mana-fixer would be Lush Growth as it gives you all three of your deck's colors or if you don't need it for color-fixing you could put it on one of your opponent's lands effectively making the dog unblockable against non-red decks. I would still advocate Abundant Growth over Lush Growth just for the card draw as that's better than the small scale interaction. If you want a card that can do both effects there's Nylea's Presence, but that card costs one more mana than either card. Personally, I'd advise Bolt Hound and Abundant Growth but you do have other options if you'd rather deviate from that.

The deck also feels like it has a lack of cats. I think a Pride Sovereign would do wonders to boost the deck's cats without taking away too much from the dogs. I think you could remove a Zodiac Dog and a Release the Dogs to fit two in. Exert is a bit of an unconventional ability but you can keep track by putting a marker on it and removing the marker on upkeep instead of untapping it.

Amazing... but I suggest putting Release the Dogs into the sideboard

As it becomes available, you may want to include Animal Sanctuary .

Also, I think Release the Dogs would play nicely with your Pack Leader and Glorious Anthem

I think the reason you splashed black in this deck was to include Kunoros, Hound of Athreos , but splashing green instead would let you play Rin and Seri, Inseparable which gives you much more synergy since neither of those black cards are "Dogs"

These definitely change the budget of this deck, but I figured I'd weigh in with my thoughts.
