Title: Leeching off your creatures
Post by: Moocow4u2 on September 11, 2013, 01:13:49 AM
Is there any kind of sorcery that lets me destroy, sacrifice or steal power from several creatures at once to boost other creatures of mine?

{Hex} comes to mind. Only drawback is if they don't have 6 creatures you have to hit your own.

Do you mean something like {Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief}'s ability?

{Hex Parasite} takes a while but does the job.{Tribute to Hunger} is a very good sorcery as well.There is also {Dying Wish} and {Yoke of the Dammned}.As well as {Death's Approach}.Just to name a few.

I mean something that'll let me sacrifice a bunch of token creatures to make other creatures of mine stronger

What colors. How you're talking it could be safe to say Devour. Ex:  {Mycoloth}  {Dragon Broodmother}.

Yeah, it sounds like Devour. You'll find a lot of it in Jund (Res, Greed, Black) in the Alara block. I personally favor {Thromak the Insatiable}, {Preyseizer Dragon}, {Tar Fiend}, and {Marrow Chomper}.

 {Maw of the Obzedat}, pretty expensive but he's won me drafts and fits your bill

I'm wondering is there's a way to make sacrificing little 1/1 snake tokens do anything useful. Maybe buff my creatures, maybe some other effect

Snakes, eh? Kamigawa has some snake people that you might like.

{Sosuke, Son of Seshiro}
{Shidako, Broodmistress}
{Shisato, Whispering Hunter}


{Butcher of Malakir} might also interest you.

Tokens wouldn't activate {butcher of malakir}'s ability right? Since tokens never actually hit the graveyard right???

How about {Thromok the Insatiable}?

It actually does trigger off of tokens! Tokens enter the graveyard and other zones just like any other card just long enough to trigger abilities like this. They then immediately cease to exist before any player can respond, but the ability triggered by them is still there! So yeah, {Butcher of Malakir} loooves tokens that die.
