Thanks for the ideas, I swapped out Feral Invocation , Tall as a Beanstalk , Marauder's Axe and Gingerbread Cabin for Glaring Aegis , Giant Growth , Gods Willing and more basic lands.

Funkydiscogod on Card creation for custom set

Caerwyn There is no problem with Giant Growth being useful as a combat trick to kill a defending creature. There's no need to try to reduce the effectiveness of these spells any further. Bonus points, because this would work into the flavor of the plane by letting the green/red/black guys have answers to the shieldmage walls.

I thought about making it a static ability, but as a static ability, the creature would die as once it is no longer a blocker, when it has marked damage but loses its +0/+X bonus.

Like the ruling for Engulfing Slagwurm : "If your Engulfing Slagwurm blocks or becomes blocked by multiple creatures, its ability triggers that many times. Each trigger will be associated with a specific creature. You choose which order to have the abilities resolve." This will give it the total toughness of all creatures its blocking, without needing additional wording.

But, you're right, it should have been +0/+X.

Robinhood, Master Thief

Legendary Creature - Human Peasant Noble Rogue

Reach, Skulk

Whenever Robinhood, Master Thief deals combat damage to an opponent, prevent that damage. You may gain control of up to one target nonland permanent with converted mana cost equal to or less then the amount of damage being prevented.

At the beginning of your end step, you may exchange control of up to one permanent you control but do not own to another target player.

"Interesting, though I think it suits you much better."

1/5

Why did I go Gruul instead of Dimir? Because Gruul is about passion, unrelenting determination, and anarchy. Also pump spells. Hit him with a Giant Growth and a Titan's Strength and go nuts.

Now, make the Dimir version of Robinhood :)

Kogarashi on Can I respond to a ...

Now, if you suspect your opponent has a response, you do get priority first after your Disfigure goes on the stack and could cast something else in response to your own spell on the assumption your opponent has, say, a Counterspell or a Giant Growth or something like that.

You couldn't do it with Duress because it's not an instant, but if you had a Mardu Charm , for instance, you could try to pre-emptively get rid of your opponent's possible response before they use it (or reveal they even have one).

But as others have said, once your opponent actually responds with their spell, it's on the stack and you can't try to take it out of their hand with your spell.

DemMeowsephs on Double Strike, Exalted, and Pump ...

Let's say I attack Rafiq of the Many ALONE. Then, I buff him with Giant Growth . Then he has exalted so he gets +1 +1. The he has double strike, so his power (3) , giant growth's 3, and exalted's 1 make 7. I double the seven making fourteen commander damage. Is that correct? Does double strike double the exalted as well? Does it even double the giant growth?

Giant Growth is so bad. The final 2 Vines of Vastwood will be a lot better, along with 2 Blossoming Defense .

The only thing I check in peoples decks (99.99% of the time) are their lands. Lands are my favorite part of magic, so I'm very particular about them. I'd recommend you add the following lands to your deck: Overgrown Tomb , Woodland Cemetery , Nurturing Peatland , Blooming Marsh , Verdant Catacombs , and Twilight Mire . I would also consider adding cards like Giant Growth , because if hypothetically you attacked with Glistener Elf , and played Giant Growth on it your opponent would get 4 infect instead of 1 for only 1 mana more. Otherwise though, nice! Infect is a great ability to build a deck around. If you found any of my suggestions useful I would appreciate it if you upvote my deck: A Deal With the Devil [EDH]. Good Luck on your Deck, and Have a Nice Day

Also it's important to note that if something did exile the manifested card face-down, it's not actually a 2/2 nameless creature anymore, it's a face-down Giant Growth (in this case).
