Stonehewer Giant untap combos.

Commander Deck Help forum

Posted on Oct. 20, 2017, 11:07 p.m. by DiscoFunk

So I have an EDH I am working on. It started off as the Nahiri mono white token/equipment pre constructed deck and I have built from that. Stonehewer Giant is a staple card I added. I am looking for suggestions on ways to be able to untap him and drag out more than one equipment per turn.

I am open to most anything, and have been toying with taking out the token subtheme of the deck and adding in another color if I can find good things to combo that color adds. Any suggestions?

Paradox Engine which will go infinite (untaps) with Cloudstone Curio and a Whitemane Lion just have a ton of mana rocks, and viola

Also, while it requires a ton of mana, Umbral Mantle is an equipment that untaps the guy.

Wouldn't Whitemane Lion just got infinite with Paradox Engine without the need for Cloudstone Curio as long as you have mana rocks that can produce at total of ?

You could so use Isochron Scepter with Paradox Engine and mana rocks that produce at total of to get infinite untaps with Stonehewer Giant. Perhaps more value since you get to cast the instant copy infinitely as well. Whichever 2 drop instant that works best for your build.

Or just imprint a instant that untaps your creatures to get a 2nd tap with Stonehewer Giant if you have the mana and don't happen to have Paradox Engine on the board.

Thousand-Year Elixir is just a good value card if you have a lot of activated abilities, plus it gives him 'haste'

Paradox engine won't go infinite because you don't play the artifact you just put it on the battlefield.

You definitely can't go infinite with just Paradox Engine and Stonehewer Giant but that's not what is being said. If you have Paradox Engine out and cast Whitemane Lion, Paradox Engine triggers to untap nonland permanents, Whitemane Lion enter the field and triggers, targeting itself. Tap Stonehewer Giant, rinse, repeat. As long as you have a combo of rocks that can provide the needed to pay for casting Whitemane Lion and activating Stonehewer Giant its infinite.

I am not sure why Cloudstone Curio would be needed though.
