Thriving Ibex

Creature — Goat

When Thriving Ibex enters the battlefield, you get EE (two energy counters).

Whenever Thriving Ibex attack's you may pay EE. If you do, put a +1/+1 counter on it.

Mana curve is super high; should probably run more lesser-drops, and perhaps some more actual Goats.

Thriving Ibex is the only Goat in your actual colors, but it's energy-themed, so it's probably alright if you don't want to run it. That said, it's at least a 3/5 for 4 after attacking once, which isn't bad.

Springjack Shepherd is probably the one you want to run. You might need some more permanents with white mana symbols in the cost to make it worth it, but it can absolutely crap out Goats if you do.

Shared Triumph or Crusade not only are fantastic anthems for your tokens, but also would provide devotion towards Springjack Shepherd.

Happy brewing!

Creatures that I could see removing: Abzan Skycaptain, Aetherborn Marauder, Ahn-Crop Crasher, Alesha's Vanguard, Bala Ged Scorpion, Nef-Crop Entangler, Night Market Aeronaut, Priest of the Blood Rite, Propeller Pioneer, Sandsteppe Outcast, and Thriving Ibex. (these creatures are just plain bad)

Things you should think about adding: Anthem effects, card draw, ramp, and removal.

Also: You have the most 3 cost cards even thought you are always going to play Alesha, Who Smiles at Death on turn three.

Why not Ravaging Blaze or Harnessed Lightning? Versatile Burn is useful in Harnessed Lightning. It is still Lightning Strike, and if you included Thriving Grubs or Thriving Ibex, you could get all the way up to a Roast or Roast+Shock. TheRavaging Blaze is also pretty good. Spell Mastery won't be hard. I would also include a few bulk rare dragons. Shivan Dragon or Serra Angel in case your opponent has hard counterspells. Cancel and the like. If you want to make it 2016.

Gidgetimer on How many times is "when"?

Both Aetherstorm Roc and Thriving Ibex trigger when the Ibex enters the battlefield. Triggered abilities use the stack however and resolve one at a time so you do not gain all three energy at the same time. Each time one of the abilities resolves it triggers the Fabrication Module so you will gain three total energy and Fabrication Module will trigger twice.

vic on How many times is "when"?

I have a Fabrication Module and an Aetherstorm Roc on my board. I play a Thriving Ibex, which gives me Energy Counters.

Is this considered two separate instances of getting EC's (Ibex + Roc), therefore letting Fabrication Module trigger twice?

The use of the word "when" has always made me question things like this, since it happens at the same time.

I went 5-0 at the midnight prerelease yaaaaay!

2x Glint-Sleeve Artisan
4x Thriving Ibex
1x Cloudblazer
1x Torrential Gearhulk
1x Aethersquall Ancient
2x Accomplished Automaton

2x Select for Inspection
2x AEther Tradewinds
1x Cultivator's Caravan
1x Inspired Charge
1x Failed Inspection

8x Plains
9x Island

Thriving turtle and ibex are really good, especially with aether tradewinds. Aether tradewinds is nasty with torrential gearhulk. Inspired charge is game winning with cards like glint-sleeve and accomplished automaton.

My last game I bounced the cloudblazer at least 4-5 times. My opponent was shocked. We'd never seen a boardstate like that at prerelease ever.

I honestly didn't think I had a great pool, with my promo being a Dubious Challenge, but the synergy was solid and I never changed out a single card once I started. SO STOKED! The best I've ever done at a prerelease in the past was 3rd. Tonight/today (?) I took 1st!!!
