Title: Synergy in metallurgy
Post by: Leonidus78 on February 14, 2013, 08:45:38 PM
I was skimming some old UB control decks and came across an interaction I was not aware of before.  {Trading Post}'s third ability works marvelously well with one of my all time favorite cards,  {Wurmcoil Engine}. You can sac the engine then retreive the engine and play it again gaining 2 3/3 guys each time, and there are possible shenanigans with other cards of course. However this would fit nicely in a tezzeret control deck if some kind.

That's awesome, toss that in a green deck with some  {Parallel Lives} and let the fun begin

That's a great combo. I always thought {Trading Post} was a stupid card but I guess not with a combo like that

Trading post is a very useful cards. This clmbo is a little more intensive, but infinite combo with {palladium myr} ad 2 {myr galvanizer} with {march of the machines} out and play {standardize} to get an infinite combo infinite untapable trading post! If you ever manage that in a game let me know

You would need to use the fourth ability first or have a different artifact in your graveyard, though.

You couldn't sacrifice {Wurmcoil Engine} for third ability and target itself, as it wasn't a legal target when the ability was to be activated.

Still very effective, however.

Use 2 engines, sac one retrieve the other and repeat

Or use one engine, and put a clone effect on it to go for other cards.
