bankrupt_on_selling on Mayael the anima: Big stomp

I've dusted off my magic cards after not playing for a long while and I'm comparing and contrasting my deck with yours. My "Anayalation" themed Mayael I made destroy stuff a sub theme. Curious what your thoughts are on some cards I have that you don't. Homeward Path, Defense of the Heart, Godsire, Worldspine Wurm, Impervious Greatwurm. And if you had the three on color og duals what three lands would you take out for those?

Some creatures I like a lot are Godsire, Impervious Greatwurm, Inferno Titan, terastadon, Woodfall Primus, and Worldspine Wurm, but my deck is Mayael's A"naya"lation themed, so I play heavily into the destroy stuff. On the topic of destroy, some instants I like are Beast Within and Generous Gift that are just good removal and play into the Anayalation theme. You run og duals (and shocks too I suppose) so Three Visits and Nature's Lore seem like they could be good.

BirdieGirlie makes a lot of sense. I playtested the deck just to see how would it work and intended on keep iterating on it. While trying I found what you said. Not enough creatures either for Eldritch Evolution or Fauna Shaman so I will try getting more on the deck. I also found that The World Spell and Invasion of Ixalan  ^Flip usually were very underwhelming. The latter still had some value, but it would rarely be flipped, so I want to try getting simply more draw spells. The ideal here would be to get something like Forging the Anchor is for artifacts, in general a very efficient draw spell just for something, but I don't think there is any choice. Maybe I will try some draw + scry effects. Regarding the Omniscience payoff, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur is AMAZING, so now I think the deck is just missing some other threat that is more immediately dangerous, as Worldspine Wurm does not seem to go all the way to it. Finally, dealing with removal and counters. I absolutely know that the combo is VERY reliant on Kona, Rescue Beastie living, but I want to just get some more consistent and better tuned deck first. Also, some of the best options like Veil of Summer are quite pricey and feel very bad if they get stuck in your hand without use or you draw too many. For now, I am considering including Destiny Spinner to deal with counters and also act as fodder for some of the crature searchers when not needed.

legendofa on How does Ghalta and Mavren …

It would be the doubled amount.

I assume you're asking about making a single Dinosaur token (which isn't a copy of anything), not a swarm of Vampires. The token would have power and toughness equal to the original creature's power and toughness at the moment of resolution.

Let's say Worldspine Wurm is your largest creature at 15/15, and you start your combat phase with Unnatural Growth and Ghalta and Mavren out.

1. Unnatural Growth triggers and resolves, doubling your creatures' stats. WS Wurm's a 30/30.

2. You attack with G&M and WS Wurm. It triggers, and you choose to create a Dinosaur. The ability resolves and checks the highest power among creatures you control, which is 30. You create a 30/30 Dinosaur token.

By the way, welcome to the club!

phatkattz7 on Xenegos, God of Revels 2000 …

So I was playing Xenagos, God of Revels the other day, when things got out of hand VERY VERY fast. I am interested to hear any experiences others may have had with a non Cedh, power 9/10 deck without an infinite loop, that got out of hand quickly. Secondly, if I am wrong about my damage somewhere, let me know, I am doing this off the top of my head and during the game, I was shaking with excitement and was struggling to think lol.

T1) Mana Crypt, Taiga, Combat Celebrant.

T2) Mountain, Jeweled Lotus, Sneak Attack.

T3) Mountain, Sacrifice Jeweled Lotus, Cast Xenagos, God of Revels, Leaving Mana Crypt and a Mountain untapped to cast Wheel of Fortune.

T4) Play Kessig Wolf Run.

• Sneak Attack in Worldspine Wurm, Pathbreaker Ibex, and Old Gnawbone.

• Trigger Xenagos, God of Revels on Worldspine Wurm making it 30/30 trample.

• Move to combat Exerting Combat Celebrant for double combat, and Triggering Pathbreaker Ibex to give everyone +30/+30.

• Worldspine Wurm hits (60), Old Gnawbone hits (37), Combat Celebrant hits (34) Pathbreaker Ibex hits (33).

• Old Gnawbone creates 164 Treasure tokens. I Sacrifice 164 Treasure tokens to Kessig Wolf Run, to give Worldspine Wurm +162/+0 making Worldspine Wurm a 222/60.

• Now I untap and move to a second combat phase because of Combat Celebrant, triggering Xenagos, God of Revels again, to make Worldspine Wurm a 444/120, Pathbreaker Ibex Triggers giving everyone +444/+444.

• Worldspine Wurm hits for 888 damage, Old Gnawbone hits for 481 damage, and Pathbreaker Ibex hits for 477 Damage. Dealing 2010 damage this turn 4.

legendofa on Why Does WotC No Longer …

There are only fifteen cards with some variation of this text. One pops up every few years, with a cluster from 2009-2012 covering Progenitus, the Eldrazi Titans, and Worldspine Wurm. There was then a six-year gap to Nexus of Fate (which may or may not count for the question, since it's not a creature).

I'm not sure it's officially stopped being a mechanic. It's just used infrequently, and usually to denote a creature of apocalyptic power with an equally apocalyptic mana cost. If they have fully stepped away from this text, it's in favor of rewarding the card being cast, like the BFZ/OGW/EMN Eldrazi Titans, Apex Devastator, or The Tarrasque.

10/10 love this list and the theme! It also makes me super happy to know I'm not the only one who runs Worldspine Wurm - a pet favorite of mine.

A few cards to consider: Unleash Fury is cheap and great just before a fight or fling. Cosmic Larva and Ball Lightning are also cheap and are excellent fling targets - though I understand they don't fit the theme all that well. Stalking Vengeance has some fun fling damage repercussions, but it's got massive cmc.

Anyway, love the list and it looks like a bunch of fun to play!

I've been toying with a Jodah, Archmage Eternal deck to cheat out the biggest possible monsters but dammit this straight green machine is making me want to try this out instead. Thank you for the inspiration!

Reshape the Earth and Worldspine Wurm might be fun cards to try in here.
