No, Harsh Mentor only affects activated abilities like Scavenging Ooze or Scalding Tarn.

An ETB effect is a triggered ability, not an activated ability.

zapyourtumor on A Comprehensive Primer for Pioneer Jund Midrange

The primer has gotten substantially longer since the last time I commented on this deck! I must confess that I did not read the entire thing, but I really liked how you covered almost every viable option in detail with pros and cons for each card.

I understand you are probably still testing out and tuning numbers on some of the newer cards in the deck right now, like Misery's Shadow. How has the card felt in your testing? In my opinion, I think the card is definitely solid but my main concern is the nonbo with Scavenging Ooze, which you run 4 of. You could potentially argue that Kroxa and Scooze is also a nonbo technically, but the fact that Kroxa is much stronger on its own that shadow pushes the former over the latter.

TheoryCrafter on The Madness of Fractal Being Manifested

The biggest threat to your deck is Solemnity. I'd recommend some counterspells including, but not limited to, Decisive Denial, Quandrix Command and Voidslime.

If you can't prevent Solemnity from entering the battlefield, Fecundity and Soul Net will turn your 0/0 Fractals into a boon until cards such as Fade into Antiquity and Naturalize can be used. Your commander's static ability will also feed into it.

You may also wish to consider cards that affect or are affected by +1/+1 counters. These include, but not limited to, The Ozolith, Swarm Shambler, Bramblewood Paragon, Herald of Secret Streams, Vigean Graftmage, Experiment Kraj and Plaxcaster Frogling.

Scavenging Ooze can give your deck some much needed graveyard hate.

Have you considered Simic Ascendancy with all these cards creating creatures with +1/+1 counters on them? You can move growth counters from Simic Ascendancy to Paradox Zone by means of Nesting Grounds.

Other lands to consider for the deck are Cave of Temptation, Forge of Heroes, Littjara Mirrorlake, Llanowar Reborn, Novijen, Heart of Progress, Opal Palace, Oran-Rief, the Vastwood, Temple of Mystery and Tyrite Sanctum.

Other cards to consider for your deck are Altered Ego, Bioshift, Clone Legion, Hardened Scales, Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter, Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner, MirrorBox, Repudiate / Replicate and Slippery Bogbonder.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Oh, also, some more.

• Luxior, Giada's Gift is going to make a big boy.

• Towashi Guide-Bot is great draw.

• Ratchet Bomb and Engineered Explosives could both be a solid board wipe.

• Myth Realized could just sit in the background, slowly but surely getting more dangerous.

• Solidarity of Heroes could do the same thing, too.

• Lion Sash and Scavenging Ooze are both good graveyard hate. If you add Lion Sash then you have to do something for me. Equip it to Birds of Paradise and get a kill for me.
