Random Green/Red Combo thought...

Leyline of Vitality + devestating-summons whilst sacrificing 0 lands could get 2 0/1 tokens into play...
I've just thought about this and wondered, what possibilities could you also conjure up with 2 creatures for 1 red mana could be done.
My first thought was Beastmaster Ascension . Anyone else care to think of any possible combo goodness that this could plausibly bring about?
The Green leyline would save their asses and make them 0/1 tokens (assuming it stays in play) and also you'd be gaining 2 life of the tokens.
The thing I'm wondering is... What can you do with 2 0/1 elemental tokens at this point?
Beastmaster Ascension would be one route to take, but I'm wondering if there could be others...

that . . . is awesome. hrm. beast master ascension, sure, and his big brother, Overwhelming Stampede .
I could imagine it helping out a goblin / stampede deck a little -- and if you're playing in formats where convoke exists as an ability, having 2 extra bodies is nice.

Yeah. Are you set on making it a standard deck?

Gonna aim on standard.
Might keep this and wait on new set stuff to see what else can help this idea out. ... Was even thinking Pyromancer Ascension and possibly the mana ramp card from m11. This is gonna require some serious token and or instant action. Still... I'm interested to see what other ideas others thought...
Obviously I'm intending this as a casual fun deck. ;)

would Doubling Season not work well is you're creating tokens?

Doubling season isn't standard and I dont think its fast enough.
I cant help myself but go to convoke when I go to this combo though... It just seems so much fun that way! lol.

Chain Reaction plus numerous tokens becomes a red DoJ. Not sure you'd ever need that, though.
Devour is still in standard, correct? I'm looking at you Predator Dragon .

Haha, that makes me want to use Muraganda Petroglyphs for more than just Grizzly Bears .

Some nice idea's there.
every time I look at this combo I think of a random ascension or polymorph deck... But I actually ditched the idea (for now) and went a different route... Wizards better add in some more cheap search in red and blue... Oh how funny Book Burning & an online Pyromancer Ascension would be...

Ah ok. Have merfolk stuff but am in UK, so it's not worth doing like a $20 trade haha.

It's like $10+ yeah, so you get virtually nothing out of it. Also it takes at least 10 days.
