Tooth and Nail targets

Commander (EDH) forum

Posted on April 11, 2014, 7:52 p.m. by guerillarage

What are some good Tooth and Nail targets for EDH? These need to be mono green and/or colorless. Ideally these creatures should give some sort of combo or a dominating board presence. Eldrazi need not apply. I need some ideas.

If you already have a decent board position Avenger of Zendikar and Craterhoof Behemoth are pretty good.

Regal Force + Avenger of Zendikar to draw a crapton of cards. Woodfall Primus if there are troublesome permanents on the battlefield.

Terastodon can be helpful. Also things like Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger can really screw all of your opponents.

My favorite is Tooth and Nail into Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and Eternal Witness . With e-witness, you return TaN to your hand and cast it again for Kozilek, Butcher of Truth and It That Betrays .

Sorry, just read that you don't care about eldrazi. Either way, instead the eldrazi, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger , Avenger of Zendikar and Regal Force are pretty good.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Keep 'em coming. Also It's not that I don't care about eldrazi, it's just that they're rather expensive (to buy). The big 3 anyway.

MattTheNinja - ...your friends must HATE you after Tooth and Nailing into Elesh Norn and Massacre Wurm ...

MattTheNinja that is a pretty awesome interaction! Problem is I'm looking for mono-green.

@Droxium ~ you're a terrible person.....but in an awesome way. Lol

@MattTheNinja ~ same goes for you.

Those both are just evil. * laughs like Dr. Evil *

@Bellock86, which part? Don't worry, if guerillarage needs any advice in mono blue edh, he can check out this combo:
sacrifice Mindslaver to take control of an opponent
take control of their turn
next turn, Acquire from somebody you know has a Mindslaver in their deck
sac the slaver to take control of the same person

From then on, they have just been Time Walk ed twice, except worse.

Do you want to hear more combos?

I like Avacyn or Xenagos, God of Revels and Novablast Wurm . Not mono-green though.

Seedborn Muse and Yeva, Nature's Herald could be fun. Not necessarily immediately game winning though.

Bellock86 says... #14

@Droxium that Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and Eternal Witness thing is what I was referencing.

That my the johnny in me laugh in a very evil manner

I like the Avenger of Zendikar + Purphoros, God of the Forge . Not too expensive of a combo to add to a deck. Yes I know you only want mono-green, but try a lil flavor!

I have a friend who uses Craterhoof Behemoth +Aurelia, the Warleader . It's pretty nuts.

NerdPounder says... #17

Too bad you're not into using blue. You could do Progenitor Mimic and Master Biomancer . The turn after they both hit the field everything you control ETBs with 14 counters.

guerillarage says... #18

You all have given me some sweet ideas. I'm working on an Azusa deck right now and have decided on Craterhoof Behemoth , Avenger of Zendikar , and Regal Force . I now have plenty of ideas for other color combinations too.

Are there any infinite combos in Mono-Green that auto-win with a resolved Tooth and Nail ? I feel like there is one but I'm just forgetting.

April 12, 2014 6:11 a.m.

Dreno33 says... #20

sylvannos, yes there is. Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron for infinite mana. You just need a mana dump, something like Blue Sun's Zenith to mill opponent or a Fireball -type effect.

April 12, 2014 1:02 p.m.

Dreno33 says... #21

Oh sorry, forgot to mention how to get it! lmao.

Tooth and Nail a Palinchron and Rune-Scarred Demon , untap lands and search for Deadeye Navigator . Now you have infinite mana and library search for the win(:

Depends on the game. Ulamog, Kozilek, Vorinclex, and Eternal Witness are my usual suspects. Depending how the game is. If gen wave is in the yard, witness, and Vorinclex is a safe grab. If I have boots/greaves out I will pick at least one eldrazi.

If I am playing my brother, I will probably go for Folk of An-Havva , and try to put Eldrazi Conscription on her. Kind of an inside joke, but worth it.

Otherwise, anything to get my Ashnod's Coupon out/tutored/returned. Best card in the game

@Dreno33: Yah I know that one...I run it in my BUG EDH deck lol. What I was wondering if there was something for just mono-green that doesn't include any other colors.

April 12, 2014 7:24 p.m.

miracleHat says... #24

a fun combo is:
Woodfall Primus and Melira, Sylvok Outcast , even better with Greater Good

People won't expect it and then all of the sudden: DEATH.

guerillarage says... #25

I just realized that when bringing in Craterhoof Behemoth and Avenger of Zendikar that I would need to give my creatures haste for that to be effective. Anything in green other than Concordant Crossroads to accomplish this?

Thanks Dreno33. I just need to decide which one I want to run. Maybe both....

DigitalShadow says... #28

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Blightsteel Colossus !My personal favorite targets are Blightsteel Colossus and either Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger or Sheoldred, Whispering One , but since you're mono-green, ignore Sheoldred. There's also Blightsteel's "little" brother Darksteel Colossus if you don't like infect.

You people have no imagination. (sarcasm btw) None of you have come up with the most evil Tooth and Nail combo ever:

Realm Razer + Tyrant of Discord

Get on my level.

canterlotguardian that's pretty nasty, I love it :D

April 15, 2014 6:51 p.m.

sylvannos says... #31

Found a mono-green combo:

Tooth and Nail for Eternal Witness (returning Tooth and Nail ) and Gobbling Ooze . Cast Tooth and Nail again, digging up Melira, Sylvok Outcast and Woodfall Primus . Now you have "G: Destroy target noncreature permanent."

You can't kill any creatures they have, but you can blow up all their lands, artifacts, etc.
