Title: Bizzare deck idea
Post by: Birdbrain on April 24, 2013, 02:10:50 PM
Would putting {yeva, natures herald} in a deck with lots of creatures with ETB shenanigan's and creatures that produce creatures like {caption of the watch} be a good idea?

What would the benefits of putting {yeva, nature's herald} in such a deck be?

You could put out a bunch of surprise blockers on your opponents turn. And have some ETB shenanigans. Like throw down an {aether adept} bounce one of your opponents creatures and block another, or send an ETB'er back to your hand. Or lure your opponent into a false sense of security, they attack and you throw down {caption of the watch}

The later turns they will be weary of your open mana and you can use that as an opportunity to go all out on them, or throw down some weird combo for the win

It could still work with gold/hybrid mana cards, and things like {elvish visionary} and {thragtusk}.

Yes. And I realized there is that one phryxan weirdo that spits out golems when it comes into play. And it's green

Is there a way to make creatures in your hand green?

I think he means more along the lines of being able to tap down your team

I prefer {Pit Fight} personally, the instant speed makes it way more versatile.

if you want to load counters onto a specific creature for the low low price of free, you can always run four {slitherhead}s, and make 'em all go kamakazi. XD I love doin' that one and then putting them on a {wild beastmaster} and then pulling out a {corpsejack menace}, can't go wrong there, but you'll need a black for the corpsejack.

Is that {Master Splicer}?
Edit: nvm that one is white...but probably you are thinking of a splicer.

Found it:
{Maul Splicer}
{Vital Splicer}
