2 {burning tree emissary} + {cloudstone curio} + {beck//call} (the beck side only)
Very interesting! And it says 'may' so you can stop too
{Burning-Tree Emissary} only adds {G} {R} {Beck // Call} cost {U} {G}
The emissary isn't supposed to give you the mana to play beck
Ok, you have the cloud stone on the field and have played beck. Play the emissary. Return a creature to your hand. Draw a card. Play the second emissary, return the first emisary to your hand. Draw a card. Rinse and repeat
The combo is assuming you have mana open for beck and an emissary, you see?
Yes. Is this broken?
Define 'broken' haha
Its definitely an awesome combo that noone would expect(unless of course you posted it on an mtg forum ;))
I'm hoping the emissary doesn't get banned, and that wizards is mindful of it
Hooray more RUG combos for EDH
It isn't legal in EDH. Because you need two {burning tree emissary}
EDH, you can only have 1 copy of each card
Lolll

{Riku of Two Reflections} copy the burning tree.
4x {Slitherhead} + {Gobbling Ooze} = one mean green killin machine, and not too expensive on the mana either.

Swap out the {Gobbling Ooze} for a {Thunder-Thrash Elder} or {Mycoloth} and it works much better. Not a bad idea, though :)

Good luck getting 2 {Burning-Tree Emissary} out maybe if {Green Sun's Zenith} was legal in modern or wait you could {Summoner's Pact} for it!

well in that case, lets throw in a few {corpsejack menace}s to stand in the background, but I'm telling you, last time I played a gobbling ooze, I got it up to 17/17 and I had another creature at 14/14, there may be better ones, but these work for me :)
i just realized there is some Pyrixan that adds {R}{R}{R} when it enters the battlefield and that would work with this
{Desperate Ritual}
Quote from: Malachiracer on May 16, 2013, 04:09:09 PM
{Desperate Ritual}
no. It's a creature and the flavor text is something like "even in new phyrixa red mana represents individualism, freedom, and passion" or something like that

{priest of urabrask}
yes. That's it. I think that would work with this in commander if you cast it first. Since the emissary only takes 2 mana to play
Good, but how do you expect to cast it? {Omnisience} would. Do that, but then you can just {enter the infinite}. Otherwise, this would be an insane deck.
In edh you could do sorts of silly things with your entire deck in your hand, besides if your deck was built properly you wouldn't need {Omniscience}, I don't know particularly what you would use since I don't play EDH but with almost everything available to you in all of mtg, I am sure you could could do something awesome
Just decided to build a fun deck around this that I'll try out tonight hopefully.
Throw in some kobolds, 0 cast creatures like that to activate {Cloudstone Curio} after casting Beck. As long as you have two in hand, no problem. Keep the Emissaries because that mana bonus is hella helpful for bonus creatures somewhere in the deck. You'll draw em eventually using that strategy.
Keep other one drops like {Memnite} and {Ornithopter}, they won't activate the Cloudstone, but that's not the use. Attach
{Emblem of the Warmind} to whatever you want, {Summer Bloom} 4 times (let's be honest, you'll want 4) and with the bonus land from that you should be able to pop {Overrun} and just attack with about 16-20 3/3 tramples.
Thoughts?

sounds interesting. Give it a try
Play {Labratory Maniac} with the combo

My friend recently started constructing a self mill deck based around this card. With this combo it would be absolutely great.
Bird if you have a deck list could you post it so I can inform my friend?
I don't have a deck list. It's just a random combo

Oh ok. I thought someone said they built a deck around this combo.
{Omniscience} + {Enter The Infinite} + 4 {Master Biomancer}s. And you don't even need the {Master Biomancer}s in your hand to start.
You could also use {Laboratory Maniac}s and any card that forces you to draw two or more cards.
Or if you have a {Jace's Erasure}. Lol.
Quote from: Birdbrain on May 02, 2013, 04:14:14 PM
2 {burning tree emissary} + {cloudstone curio} + {beck//call} (the beck side only)
With this combo, you could also run {inexorable tide} and {chandra nalaar}, proliferate her loyalty counters to however many times you cast the {emissary}, then use her -X ;)
For infinity damage
Wait- really?! What the- NOOOOOOOOOO! Awww, that sucks
No wait! You can play {spiteful shadows} on a creature! YES!

There's an artifact same cost as riku, and does the same ability for only {2} instead of {U}{G}. I think it was in scars block?
{minion reflector}?
Ah! No it was shards block!
