What would be funny is a kicked rite of replication by an opponent, suddenly they win instead!

I didn't know what that was, so I looked it up:



Crikey!

Too bad it's not in standard. 9 mana isn't out of the question in a blue/green deck.


Possible alternative in standard:




This might be handy too:




I'm not sure if green has any creature-tutors in standard.

I'm guessing not, don't think they make many tutors anymore.

There are a couple of green cards that let you play a bunch of stuff depending on how much mana you put in, I forget what they are called, green sun zenith perhaps?

I found this in green/black:



Fetch two, and reanimate one somehow.


Or there's this, but it's double-black and expensive:




We need more tutors!

Not in standard now though! It's a shame, because the zenith one would be handy.

You need to get on the programme! I’m not sure I really like rtr though. Or rather, I don’t really like any of the guilds on offer.

Innistrad was a better set really.


Fish crab?

I quite fancy red/white though.







All three of those hit planeswalkers at instant speed, by the way! Serves them right.


That last one makes it even more obvious how non-epic epic experiment is.  :icon_frown:

Skullcrack looks like a must take in any redish deck. Cheap killiness with a huge bonus for the rest of the turn...

Skull-crack is a good guttersnipe card. 5 damage! Nice to hit with an epic experiment too. I might use it in my Izzet deck.


How about Boros charm + Armageddon! One-sided land-sweep for 6 mana!

Admittedly that is legacy only.

I'll be glad when there are more guilds.

Evolve looks a good mechanic!

That is horrible!

I saw some giant spider crabs in an aquarium once, and they were about four feet wide. I was so glad they couldn't get out of the tank!


I'm not sure about evolve. I always space out when reading how it works. Blah blah blah counters blah.

No worries, I will try and make it a bit more regular and not so last second!

I knew if I stayed longer you'd not show but if I left you'd get on. Tis the way of things!

I played lots of Zelda instead so not a bad compromise.  :happy:

This is a bit expensive, but handy.
