stonecoil serpent and affinity
Asked by phillipswhwew 1 year ago
Say I have Mycosynth Golem on the battle field with 6 other artifacts and 3 land. Can I cast Stonecoil Serpent with X being 10 d/t golem giving it affinity for artifacts ??

Fun fact: there was actually a very similar basis for the famous Eldrazi Winter deck. Eye of Ugin was able to reduce the cost of Endless One to pump out weirdly large creatures for very little cost.
