Epicurus on I'm looking to build a …

legendofa is absolutely correct. However, I had at one time thought it would be interesting to build a Golgari deck with Reyhan, Last of the Abzan and Slurrk, All-Ingesting. They might work here also, though Carth the Lion is a better choice. I mention it because I was trying to figure out a partner combo that would get you into Jund, which there isn't really anything that would be better than Carth. The best I can figure would be either Kamahl, Heart of Krosa with Vial Smasher the Fierce, or Tana, the Bloodsower with Krav, the Unredeemed. Either would be viable options (albeit much different deck designs) if you wanted to add Red to the identity. Of course, using Krav would stretch the rules, since Tana is not actually its partner.

Triton on Korvold Counters

Any Fleshbag Marauder effects would be powerful. Harrow and Roiling Regrowth are great for ramp and suits your theme well. If money allows, The Ozolith and to a lesser extent Reyhan, Last of the Abzan would help preserve those counters.

Wildwood Scourge is an all-star in my Mowu, Loyal Companion deck. Speaking of doubling, Corpsejack Menace, Branching Evolution, and Hardened Scales to add more +1/+1 counters.

Hope this helps! :)

Maximariusmagillius on Hydras and Oozes Oh My

LOL holy shit yes this is exactly the type of shenanigans I’m looking for! It’s perfectly in the budget too I’m going to put it on my wishlist for when I order cards next.

Not only does he keep his counters when he dies and comes back, but Reyhan, Last of the Abzan’s ability would still trigger! I love it.

Looking forward to hearing more of your suggestions.

IHATENAMES on Golgari Skullrush (Skullbriar Commander Deck)

Skullbriar is the commander so you can have it relocate to your command zone should he die/be exile/return to hand. The only place that makes his counters dissapear is hand and library.

Dragonscale Boon instant 2 +1counters untap. Can create suprise blocker. Evolution Sage land etb proliferate which is choose any number of things add an additional counter of whatever they have.

Smell Fear new removal option.

Reyhan, Last of the Abzan highly suggest this. Turns anything into a threat with your commander dying.

Solidarity of Heroes double counters for a potential Instant speed kill out of no where.

Biogenic Upgrade double counters after adding 3.

Branching Evolution counters doubler

Heroic Intervention protection

Fight Rigging free spell + counter per turn.

Hydra's Growth double counters

Primordial Hydra 2ndary threat if left alone. Synergies well.

Realizing now I didn't suggest any evasion. Some sort of evasion could go a long way. Trailblazer's Boots is the best example. Can't be blocked if your opponent has a nonbasic land. Essentially unblockable every time.

Evil idea

Tainted Strike infect kill someone. Can target opponents creatures too to surprise both and kill someone.

Glistening Oil infect.

Phyresis infect.

Neotrup Are you positive about the whole doesn't move counters on the first ability? That's how Reyhan, Last of the Abzan works (not moving, but making new counters), but she's worded way different.

TheNinjaPhoenix on Yoshimaru's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Upvote for a fellow Yoshimaru deckbuild! I'm personally running Abzan and going wide with Reyhan, Last of the Abzan as my playgroup already has its fair share of Voltron builds.

That said, I do rather love this deck. Given roughly 1/4 of your deck is creatures, consider Cathars' Crusade, especially as some of those creatures create tokens.

From your Maybeboard, even if you're not staying as a Boros deck, Hammer of Nazahn feels like a must-have. It's another card that gives Yoshimaru protection.

Marchesa, the Black Rose + Reyhan, Last of the Abzan would be disgusting.

sophomore on Interaction between "Until leaves the …

7 months ago

The situation:

1. I have Reyhan, Last of the Abzan and Hostage Taker on the battlefield, and my Hostage Taker has exiled a creature I own.

2. Damnation resolves, destroying both of my creatures.

My question:

1. Does the creature exiled with Hostage Taker return to the battlefield in time for Reyhan, Last of the Abzan's ability to target that creature in order to successfully trigger?

2. Is there anywhere this interaction is clearly explained? I believe it should work in my favor, but to my eye, rule 611.2a doesn't unambiguously clarify whether the "until ~ leaves the battlefield" effect waits to stop applying until a player would receive priority (by which time I conceive it would be too late for my purposes above), or if it stops applying immediately and in the middle of the resolution of another effect (in which case I conceive it should be early enough for my purposes above).
