Title: Rooftop storm and back for the brink
Post by: Validan on January 27, 2012, 01:53:21 PM
Can I use {rooftop storms}' ability with {back from the brink} to bring back zombies from the graveyard for 0?

no because you're not actually casting them from your graveyard, just "sort of" casting them.  {Rooftop Storm} doesn't change the casting cost, which is what {Back from the Brink} looks at.  It just gives you an alternate cost.

It's not the awesome combos that astounds me, it's your bloody memory! How do you remember all the cards?! 😨

A) I just spent the past couple months logging every card I own, from Innistrad to Odyssey.

B) I only remember the useful combo pieces. I don't remember every {Glory Seeker} and {Hill Giant} out there.

C)  That combo's already in my Dead of Knight deck in Causal. ;D

Although if you want something you could bring to FNM, {Rooftop Storm} and {Gravecrawler} are a good match. Especially with a sac outlet.

Edit:  "sac outlet" lol. Sounds like a naughty electrical term. 😝
