How to give creatures Haste? (U/G EDH)
Deck Help forum
Posted on May 12, 2015, 1:01 a.m. by shirkit
I've got a Blue/Green EDH deck and I need to discover a way to give my creatures (or everyone's) Haste at my winning turn.
The issue is that I can't put a Red card in here (EDH restrictions).
The only two cards that I know of that does this job are Akroma's Memorial and Concordant Crossroads.
Does anyone knows some other card that does this job? I'm trying to keep the cost lower and both of them cost the same at the places I can buy (both around U$12).

A workaround could be giving your creatures Flash with something like Prophet of Kruphix or using Chord of Calling effects, put the creatures into play at the end step of the opponent's turn and then they can atack on your turn straight away.

Pretty sure Instill Energy does not give haste. It allows a creature to attack as though it did have haste.
No idea why the fake set gets linked, and no idea why it is wrong.
I wish the auto card that shows up was a real printed set, these fake/online sets are not something I like. Maybe an option for the first printing to show up instead of the last.

Didgeridooda is correct. It only lets the creature attack Gatherer listing for Instill Energy

Well, giving one creature haste won't cut it, it must be all creatures, since I'd be playing a combo deck that would put multiple creatures at the same time.
Reflex Sliver + Hivestone does the job, I've never thought of that before. Thanks for this suggestion.
Anyone else has another idea on how to give creatures haste given the restrictions?

They need to be able to attack.
Avenger of Zendikar or Rampaging Baloths + land drop.

Then Akroma's Memorial and Concordant Crossroads are your best hopes. Reflex Sliver + Hivestone would work if you're on the Primal Surge plan like Didgeridooda mentioned.

I'm going to assume you need the haste because you plan on an epic Genesis Wave or Primal Surge or some similar spell to steamroll everyone. In my Kruphix EDH deck the secret weapons are Quicken, Vedalken Orrery, and Leyline of Anticipation. I can't tell you how many times I've cast Quicken + Genesis Wave for 25 or more. It wins games, no haste required.

Just saw your comment about Avenger + Baloths. Make sure you add Perilous Forays, which is hilarious with both of those cards. Earthcraft + Perilous Forays + Rampaging Baloths is an avalanche of landfall for those 0/1 Plants.

Nope. What you listed is what you have to work with.
