Title: DC17 (Budget): Sexy Glasses
Post by: BlackJester on January 25, 2012, 12:47:59 AM
Do you like drawing gratuitous amounts of cards?  Well I do!  Here's a budget combo that's standard legal no less. Two 🐤s, one ☁.

{Lure} + {Infiltration Lens} + {Ichorclaw Myr}

The both the lens and the myr's abilities trigger for each blocking event. That means that for each creature Lure forces them to block with you'll draw two cards and the myr will get +2/+2 x the number of blockers.
They have three creatures, you swing and draw 6 cards an the Infected Myr gets +6/+6.
🍺

I'm pretty sure the myr's ability only triggers once, making him a 3/3, not the hypothetical 7/7.

You're right. My bad!  ðŸ'© I thought they had the same wording. At least the lens works. ;) Besides, drawing a ton of cards is more important than +2/+2.

Do you need to use infect? Nice combo!

Infect wasn't needed.  The crux of the combo is {Lure} and {Infiltrator's Lens}.  I just like the synergy of {Ichorclaw Myr}.  At least, what I thought was synergy.

Throw some money at this and use {Engulfing Slagwurm}!

Edit: scratch that!  The Wurm is dirt cheap.
