Can the snail die of old age? What's the life span of a snail? And do you know where the snail is as it's chasing you?

Other question, related to the challenge: What's going on with Shell of the Last Kappa, Kappa Tech-Wrecker, and Kappa Cannoneer?

Whenever two or more Rat, Turtle, or Crocodile creatures you control attack or block, each of those creatures gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

Create a Dragon Serpent. Or Serpent Dragon, whichever sounds better.

Shell of the Last Kappa is a fun flavour card.

There is Chimeric Idol , Shell of the Last Kappa , Tortoise Formation , and Pattern of Rebirth which just shows a Turtle. And I was thinking if others would be ok with it, you could use Living Wish to grab Yidaro, Wandering Monster so you can have all the turtles.

Hello n0trichard ! Thanks for writing a primer about 8.5 tails, a pet commander of mine for sure. Your list is very interesting and balanced and the casual/fun orientation is something I look for too. I wanted to discuss some of the cards you run, not to challenge whether they should be played or not but because I feel I don't understand them well.

Earnest Fellowship : I feel like this card can also give protection to the opponent's white creatures against mines, making them unblockables would be a trouble. How do you play it ? Is there something I'm missing about this card's use ?

Ravnica at War Don't you feel it's too specific or, related to your meta, it works fine and removes most annoying creatures ?

Thran Turbine Since it's cannot be used to play spells. I guess you use the mana to make an equipped creature unblockable ? Or maybe you've got some other use for it.

Shell of the Last Kappa great addition ! I didn't know this card at all. Amazing mana sink and savior. Do you have specific 'hidden' uses I should know about ?

If you want, you can check my existing 8.5 tails list and I'll gladly discuss any feedback you'd have.

Umbilicus, Bloodclock and Cloudstone Curio to return cards to your hand you want to use to counter stuff.

Whenever ~ blocks, tap it.

Whenever ~ becomes tapped, draw a card, then discard a card, and ~ doesn't untap durring your next untap step.

make another card from an extinct species (see Shell of the Last Kappa for proof)

griffstick on Rat Tribal... What???

Shell of the Last Kappa is wayyy to conditional. I'd remove it for sure. Put anything else in there. But if you are looking for the same effect, Witchbane Orb is better, Orbs of Warding is good too

The above stuff is messy compared to a straightforward aggro approach.
Things could be way more messy than even that.Panoptic Mirror, Shell of the Last Kappa, Nevinyrral's Disk, Spellbinder, and Second Sunrise. By doing this any one of these will get destroyed by the disk. Having greaves on emeria will shield her, then you cast a land bring back the artifact that triggers sunrise, which brings back everything. Repeat.
