Moraug and Extra, Extra Combats

Asked by AkrosTheClear 4 years ago

So the new card Moraug, Fury of Akoum is a perfect addition to my deck: CEDH REDH and I just want to make sure that I am using it correctly.

The deck goes off by playing extra combat cards over and over again until it kills the table,and I need to use Moraug, Fury of Akoum to have it work with my extra combat spells so I can get another main phase after I use Moraug, Fury of Akoum's combats.

Obviously if I play my land in my first main phase I will get my second main phase, but if I save my land drop until my second main phase would I need to play an extra combat spell such as Seize the Day before or after I play my land in order to get a third main phase after the combats from Moraug, Fury of Akoum, or would it even matter?

Thank you for reading this long winded post and clearing this up for me.

The most recently created step or phase happens first. This means that if you would like to have a main phase after the Moraug combat phase you will have to Seize the Day first creating a combat and a main phase. Then after that resolves you play your land, creating a main phase from Moraug. After you second main phase you will go to Moraug's combat and untap all creatures. After that combat you will have another combat phase, and then a main phase.

I made a typo and didn't catch it. I can't edit, so i'm going to copy paste the correct answer. Disregard my first response, the typo makes it confusing.

How many combats can I get from only using Moraug, fury of akoum? Like I’ll play a land on my second main phase but what happens next? If I play another land?

If you have another land enter (in the same main phase since Moraug doesn't create a main phase) you will get another combat. The answer to "how many" is hard to give an exact number for because the upper bound is pretty ridiculous. So just "as many as you can get Moraug triggers".

(It is over 210. I just counted up all of the cards that allow you to play additional lands, plus a small number of land searches that showed up with the search "additional land" and there were 35. With each land drop being a fetch that is 70 lands ETB. With Ancient Greenwarden that is 140 triggers. Then Scapeshift-ing away the 35 lands gets you 70 more triggers.)
