Title: Benefits of seance???
Post by: Thattallguy on February 08, 2012, 06:53:30 PM
How are some ways {seance} could be used without {sundial of the infinite}. That seems to be a popular combo. I am just curious as to how this card can benefit a deck or even be beneficial during play?  I have been trying to come up with ways to make it work or be useful but can't really come up with a whole lot. All i can see is using it to gain an extra blocker during your opponents turn but unless your creatures have haste it really wouldnt be beneficial during your turn.  Ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Parallel lives or that blue spell to copy it. Or a blocker Or something to sacrifice

Giving the token haste will allow you to attack with it at least and {cackling counterpart} is that blue card that copies :)

Maybe something with {Birthing Pod}? Pod decks are full of ETB effects, Like Proph said, you can use {Seance} to abuse 'em.

if it's a token you would only be able to pod something mana cost 1. Tokens have no mana cost, meaning 0 start for pod. Rite?

Tokens created as copies of things have the same CMC as the original.
