No, the ability has to be innate. Thornling doesn’t have any applicable abilities and so won’t grant any counters.

If Kathril, Aspect Warper is my commander, when she ETBs will she give tokens for creatures in the graveyard with activated abilities, like Thornling or only innate abilities like Avacyn, Angel of Hope??

I noticed that as soon as Fiery Emancipation was spoiled. A supercycle like this can take years to complete though, the Morphling -cycle ( AEtherling , Torchling , Brightling , Thornling , Endling ) took from Urza's Saga (1998) or Planar Chaos (2007), depending how you count, to Modern Horizons (2019) to complete. So it's a fun thing to look out for, but don't hold your breath for the next tripler enchantment '^^

What would you want the blue, white and black ones to triple?

Triple life is an easy, and slightly boring thing for white to triple, of course, triple cards (like a better Teferi's Ageless Insight ) makes sense for blue. I'm not sure what resource black would triple though, nothing obvious that black creates, better than the other colours.

Spitting Image , Bramble Sovereign , Dual Nature and Caller of the Untamed specifically say "token copy", which is distinct from entering the battlefield as a copy of a permanent. There are no monogreen Shapeshifters, except Thornling , which is a shapeshifter, because all the -ling creatures are Shapeshifters.

@cPute: thanks, this is the 2HG version but also in solo mode the "control+wheels payoffs" is quite strong in my testing, I'll have a tourney next Saturday and use it, let's see how it goes! So far I really like it runs very few slots dedicated to the kill.

The Intuition targets most of the time are chosen like a pseudo-tutor, because it's first a control deck, but if you miss one part of the combo:

if you miss 2 pieces of the combo, with Kenrith out to reanimate:

I've been tempted by Dread Return to make more powerful piles.. when missing 2 pieces you could go:

regardless of their choice with other 2 creatures out you can have the Ooze in play (notice that we use Kenrith for haste, no Torch Courier or Thornling ). But it's basically an expensive Animate Dead outside of Intuition .

What do you think? Do you have suggestions?

poorpinkus on Infinite Combos in EDH - Experiment Kraj Budget

Wizkalifa Forgotten Ancient is a great card! I probably won't put it in this deck because I'm purely tunnel-visioning in on the infinite combos, but it would probably make the deck a lot better by giving some alternate ways to win!

Krazydude123 Hmm, haste trample from Shifting Ceratops is very tempting (similarly for Zegana, Utopian Speaker ), however usually I like my haste/unblockable enablers to have some way to protect Kraj as well. For example, Thornling can also give itself indestructible and Morphling can give itself shroud.

Gyre Engineer and Incubation Druid would be AMAZING in the deck though! I think in paper I actually have a gyre engineer in the deck, and I did NOT realize that Incubation Druid gave mana of any colour! That's amazing since it's so hard to find mana dorks that make blue. Definitely putting both of those in, thanks!

Thank you both for the suggestions!
