Title: Harpy Invasion
Post by: Ryggrad on February 13, 2014, 10:57:13 PM
{shadowborn apostle} x6
Sac to search for {abhorrent overlord}
SEND OUT THE HARPYS!
{gravepurge} to bring the 6 apostles back
Repeat if you have more than one gravepurge.

Any tips on boosting the p/t of the harpy tokens would be appreciated.

With the shadowborn apostles it may be easier yo just use {Creeping renaissance} to get them all back in your hand

You wouldn't get the tokens from the  {Shadowborn Apostle}s.

Yes you would. It says when it enters the battlefield, not when it is cast from your hand or just normally cast

The sacrificing is apart of the activation cost. So you pay the activation cost, they go to the graveyard, THEN it enters the battlefield.

You'd still get two of the Demon creature. It says when it enters the battlefield. This means it is on the battlefield when it summons the harpies. This also means youre getting two harpies

Oh. Sorry I thought you meant that if you used the apostles to bring it out then you wouldn't get the harpies
