Title: AlacaDRAGON!
Post by: Deathseide on November 24, 2012, 05:08:55 PM
{fervor} + {zirilin of the claw} +  {Panoptic Mirror} with {flicker} embedded.

For more fun, play this in a mana surge dragon deck which runs the {Thran dynamo}, {Karn, silver golem}, {voltaic construct}, and {gemstone array} combo.

{Animate artifact} the mirror, then play {followed footsteps} on it, when you can produce a copy of {flicker}, embed the copy into the new mirror, and/or choose other cards that would be suitable
Have {parallel lives} or {doubling season} in play, then all you need is a means to turn zirilin into an artifact creature (names of such cards elude me right now), or to be able to untap zirilin multiple times, and you have a means to not only hunt for and play an increasing number of dragons, keeping them on the field, but also an increasing means to continually be able to trigger the come into play effect creatures you own.

Now you can be just plain annoying if you use the straight animated mirror/ {flicker}/ {followed footsteps} combo to disrupt your opponant's cards...

You don't need fervor. Zirilin gives 'em haste.

But then Zirilin can have haste too!
And aside from liking the combo, I love the name too. Makes me laugh everytime.

After you flicker it, the token becomes permanent, but loses haste.

So tap then flicker.
Or flicker after the attack phase. There's plenty of time to flicker before the end step.

I'm just saying, that's why fervor is in this.

Sure, but you don't really need it. Since you're flickering them anyway, there's no reason to do so until after they've done whatever you have planned for them.

Why not use fervor? 
T3 {Fervor}
T5 {Panoptic Mirror}/{Zirilan} or however it is spelled

This is also saying there is no {Priest of Urabrask} type effects going on.

Totally forgot Fervor was only {2}{R}. Thought it was {3}{R}

You're right, fervor isn't necessary at all, but man I sure do love me some haste.

The {zirilin of the claw} effect of haste only affects the dragons summoned using it, not the dragon tokens that can come into play with {parallel lives},
Using the {flicker} to null the sacrifice effect that zirilin had on the original summoned dragon.
Also having the dragons with come into play creature token creation ability is another reason to have the {fervor}, especially if you have an  {Utvara Hellkite} in play.

EDIT:  {flicker} and {fervor} also allows you to use any tap ability of the summoned dragon twice in the turn
