Another great deck! Personally, I think Wake Thrasher is a strong card even without infinite combos. It can easily grow to huge proportions with only a little bit of support, and is ridiculously huge late game as maybe a control deck finisher.

Not that you really need anymore combos, payoffs or ways to go infinite but this looks like the perfect EDH shell to shoehorn the Silver Myr, Freed from the Real and Wake Thrasher trifecta into.

Traumatize + Elite Arcanist Mill big, mill half their library. Try Hidden Strings on a Wake Thrasher to take advantage of all the tap/untap's going on. Ensure a hit by enchanting with Aqueous Form. Also Trinket Mage would be a good fit.

Gidgetimer: While it sure is functionally different, are there a lot of cases where it matters, especially power-wise? The templating is way more elegant (and more consistent with how this kind of wording is typically templated) , it working with "vigilance matters" cards like Alert Heedbonder & Solid Footing feels more like a feature than a bug, and with the reach criteria in mind, there's not a lot of cards that care about the untap/vigilance distinction (Wake Thrasher, I guess??).

Upyron yes I included Drift of Phantasms as a way to tutor Wake Thrasher in case it wasn’t drawn early.

Depending on competitiveness and mana curve etc. I avoided cards that use the exert mechanic and otherwise required combat phases to trigger their tap effects. All of these cards do something when either tapped/untapped or in some cases both. This is by no means an exhaustive list

Paeldroth: Thanks! Glad I could help with the budget section.

Of those creatures, the only one I'd potentially run is Tectonic Giant. The issue is that you want low-CMC, or a bit more... punch than something like Aquamoeba grants. Also, Taurean Mauler is a human, so it can't be mutated onto :(

Some other creatures I've tinkered with: Wake Thrasher, Cephalid Inkshrouder, Dragonlord Ojutai, Adanto Vanguard...

I_Want_To_PlayAllTheDecks: Wake Thrasher's purpose is to be really, really big, and let me cast Vadrok on curve XD When Vadrok is mutated onto it, Vadrok will become a 3/3 flying first-striker WITH the power boost, and get larger each turn. But yes, I do wish that it gave her any keywords -- Trample would be amazing.

The issue with Rielle is that she's a human, so she's not something I can mutate onto :/ If she were non-human, she'd be in here in a flash. I only have maybe 9 cards in here that are decently good with her, and many of them are going to be cast on T2 -- meaning that I draw her later she's much less useful. Still, I do want an excuse to run her...
