Ovinomancer

Creature — Human Wizard

When Ovinomancer enters the battlefield, sacrifice it unless you return three basic lands you control to their owner's hand.

, Return Ovinomancer to its owner's hand: Destroy target creature. It can't be regenerated. That creature's controller creates a 0/1 green Sheep creature token.

Craeter Sorry for the late reply; I actually took a bit of hiatus from the game. The problem with Druid Class and Ovinomancer is that they're both a bit too slow for the deck. For 3 mana, I'd rather run Beast Within and have extra versatility to remove non-creature permanents.

Lifegift isn't really something I'd benefit from. The lifegain of my commander is just incidental and my deck doesn't revolve around lifegain. This card doesn't actually do anything to help me further advance my gameplan.

I did try playing Conduit of Worlds in the deck when it first came out, but I actually cut the card for Ancient Greenwarden because Reach and double triggers are more useful abilities for me. Conduit is further hampered by the fact that I can't use it to recur instants or sorceries, which is what I find myself recurring most often with this deck.

I think my top priority now is figuring out replacements for Mana Crypt and Jeweled Lotus, since apparently they both got banned while I was taking my hiatus.

lol, this concept is great and Kadena makes perfect sense to actually get the beatdown value out cards like Tempting Wurm. You are already running pretty much everything I thought of recommending like Jokulmorder and Ovinomancer you got in the maybeboard. Ok I did a little digging and Inverter of Truth and Indentured Djinn may both be of interest, two efficiently costed flying beaters you could run. Sweet deck!

Druid Class, Lifegift, Ovinomancer, Conduit of Worlds would make good potential additions here, I run these in my Legacy Land Deck

ChaosJester on Ovinomancer Indestructible interaction

Hey guys,

Just want to pimp my Ovinomancer deck and have a specific combo question. Let's assume Aluren and Concordant Crossroads are on the battlefield. The haste should negate the drawback of Ovinomancer as far as I know because you can activate Ovinomancers second ability in response. But can I target my own creature with indestructible over and over again to create infinite sheep tokens?

Thanks for your help and happy new year!

DemonDragonJ Yeah, but the color pie changes. If more cards show the effects that Pongify, Ovinomancer, Rapid Hybridization, and Polymorph have, the color pie allows it.

Personally, I do understand these 4 effects aren't common, like in white or black, but for literally destroying creatures, if that's all you want, as long as a severe drawback is given, generally in the form of a creature being given back, blue can do it, if only occasionally.

If they printed more, it would be fine, right? Because it would show a precedent. If that's how it works, luckily there is precedent in the color already.

Cool list, I’ve brewed up a Chulane deck but I’ve gone down a different road, focussing more on land control.

Ovinomancer is a great card for the deck though as it refills your hands with lands you can then just put straight back into play with other creatures.

Feel free to take a look at my list Chulane, Controller of the realms
