Title: Pump it up!
Post by: Malleo on December 04, 2012, 06:07:06 PM
Scavenge +  {Corpsejack Menace} +  {Rings of Brighthearth}
Let's say I scavenge a  {Deadbridge Goliath} and copy it 3 times, corpsejack's ability means I can either give four creatures +10/+10 or 1 creature +40/+40 and so on

Unless you have multiple {Rings of Brighthearth} you can't copy an ability beyond the first time. The "when [some trigger happens], you may pay [cost]" means you can only pay this cost once when you activate the ability.

It's the same reason you can't pay X mana to gain X life when a player casts a red spell with {Iron Star} in play.

Oh well, the concept is still sound

Now if you have the {Karn, silver golem}, {Thran dynamo}, {voltaic construct} combo, you can embed a {giant growth}. Or similar instant onto an {isochron scepter} and do an infinite pump that way.
What is nice about this combo is you can play it in any color deck, even if it is mono black
