When I play Nature's Revolt and Mirari's Wake and then Opalescence what happens to everyone's lands?

Asked by droinlandek 6 years ago

I am trying to make this combo but not lose my lands.

It depends on the order you cast Opalescence and Nature's Revolt.

If you play Opalescence first and Nature's Revolt second, all opponent lands would be 2/2s, and your would be 3/3a due to Mirari's Wake.

If it were the other way around, your lands would be 1/1s, and theirs would be 0/0s, dying when state-based actions were checked as a result of having 0 toughness.

A little more complicated. It also matters when you cast Enchanted Evening. Opalescence doesn't apply until after Enchanted Evening because of dependencies. If Nature's Revolt comes down after both, then lands will be 2/2 and 3/3s, but most will have died before you played it. If it comes down before either Opalescence or Enchanted Evening, it effectively does nothing to the combined board state (though could have been relevant when it was played).

I've seen this hard lock combo in a Derevi prison deck, and it was Linvala, Keeper of Silence or Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and a Living Plane or Nature's Revolt. Your opponents can't play lands with this combo, and can't even hold priority to try and tap for mana before the lands go to the graveyard. Gruesome.
