iMtG Server: Gathering

Deaths Shadow 75 cards, 15 sideboard 4 {Bloodstained Mire} 2 {Smoldering Spires} 3 {Mountain} 4 {Blackcleave Cliffs} 2 {Swamp} 4 {Dragonskull Summit} 19 lands 4 {Death's Shadow} 4 {Hex Parasite} 4 {Goblin Guide} 4 {Kiln Fiend} 2 {Immolating Souleater} 18 creatures 4 {Mutagenic Growth} 4 {Lightning Bolt} 2 {Gitaxian Probe} 2 {Apostle's Blessing} 4 {Fling} 4 {Inquisition of Kozilek} 3 {Dismember} 23 other spells Sideboard 2 {Apostle's Blessing} 4 {Crush} 3 {Dark Tutelage} 2 {Act of Aggression} 4 {Arc Trail} 15 sideboard cards

If you have a static effect already on the field, say "All creatures you control get +2/+2." then yes. But you wont be able to cast an instant like {Mutagenic Growth} to save it.

Ok thanks I was actually thinking of Mutagenic Growth when I asked

Well, what you could do is, while the Shadow is on the stack, respond by casting the growth targeting something else in play. You can't target the shadow, because it's still a spell. Thats one way to reduce your life by two. 

Ok thanks for the tip I am really starting to like Death's Shadow

I can see it now: a mono black life paying deck with birthing pods and rage extractors.

{Immolating Souleater} and {Phyrexian Unlife} 💪

Throw in melira and you have yourself a 1,000,000/1,000,000! Though it can still be blocked by a 1/1 haha

Use {triumph of the hordes}

{Death's Shadow} doesn't place  -1/-1 counters on its self. It's giving its self -x/-x which is like {Dismember} type ability. So {Merlina, Sylvok Outcast} won't work this time.

{Melira, Sylvok Outcast} + {Phyrexian Unlife} means your life can go to negative very-large-number.

Hey BJ can you delete this? I am trying to post a deck and it keeps piping up here and I have no clue what this thread is!

Maybe you should post the deck with the proper spelling of {Death's Shadow}.  😜

Ok...
