Epochrasite

Artifact Creature — Construct

Epochrasite enters the battlefield with three +1/+1 counters on it if you didn't cast it from your hand.

When Epochrasite is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, exile it with three time counters on it and it gains suspend. (At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, cast this card without paying its mana cost. It has haste.)

So, basically an Epochrasite like mechanic?

Seems like it would really slow down limited. I think most games of limited would play down to the clock, so somthing would need to be added to the cost so it wasn't just swing in, all get block, everything dies, then recast them x turns later.

I think discarding a card in addition to their cost would make for a more balanced and flavorful mechanic.

The thing is Suspend is not worded like that. It cannot become a different creature by coming out of suspend.

The correct way to word this would be similar to Epochrasite :

Goblin Hybrid
Creature - Goblin Mutant

Suspend 3 (Rather then play this card from your hand, you may pay and remove it from the game with three time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When you remove the last, play it without paying its mana cost. It gains haste.)

Enters the battlefield with 3 +1/+1 counters if you didn't cast it from your hand.

Really nice deck. I don't see the use in Myr Sire , however, as all of your death triggers wants non-tokens. ( Hangarback Walker would just be a better version of the same card anyways)

Maybe run Necropede instead, would help you clear out troublesome creatures if you can't go off.

Or Walking Ballista for the same reason. It, of course, doesn't work as removal while you're comboing, but it's a much way to deal with stuff like Eidolon of the Great Revel .

Epochrasite is also an option, it's very slow, but it gives you an angle for a fair win of you're disrupted halfway through your combo for some reason.

Maybe you could do an +1/+1 counters version of aristocrats with Undying and cards like Epochrasite ... basically sacrifice them into a powerful engine before the end of everyone's turn.

Or... (here's one): Insurrection , Gonti, Lord of Luxury and Diluvian Primordial could be a "I play your cards" betrayal theme:

Betrayal

Etali, Primal Storm ... seriously cool

Mind's Dilation ... yes

Fallen Shinobi ... yes

Dire Fleet Daredevil = Jace's Mindseeker ... another Diluvian Primordial

Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge ... commander?

Mindclaw Shaman ... maybe

Mindleech Mass ... maybe

Wrexial, the Risen Deep ... yes

Extract from Darkness ... reanimator

Bribery = Praetor's Grasp ... tutor

Sepulchral Primordial ... reanimator

Thada Adel, Acquisitor ... tutor your Sol Ring lol

Silent-Blade Oni ... ninjitsu

Grenzo, Havoc Raiser ... goad is amazing

Hostage Taker ... yes

Thief of Sanity ... yes

...as well as any version of the many clones in the game...

Nah. Goblin Engineer would be more helpful in some kind of artifact aggro or prison deck. Not combo. It’s too slow for the Pala combo.
In aggro you could go nuts with Claim , Myr Superion , and Epochrasite . Prison builds itself.

Another possible update could be removing 1-2 lands and Epochrasite for Elvish Visionary and some Flickerwisp ?

How does that sound?

I definitely second Knight of Autumn as a good choice, and I'd also recommend running some number of Path to Exile s. Eyeless Watcher doesn't seem that great to me - it's way too slow. 4 Ancient Stirrings might also be a bit too many (though finding both Panharmonicon and Epochrasite is cute), and 2 Acidic Slime might be too much as well. Good luck with your deck, though!

Darth_Savage on Creatures with conditional casting

Epochrasite is fun with Cascade, there are creatures with alternative costs, this is normally preferable to casting them so sets some conditions. Qasali Ambusher , Akuta, Born of Ash and Greater Gargadon would be examples, there are lots of others...

To what end are you wanting a list?
