Title: Soulbond?
Post by: Greg54js on April 26, 2012, 06:26:10 AM
Okay so I was listening to Judgecast and they said you can pair two creatures with soulbond and I thought that it wasnt legal to pair two creatures with soulbond. So which way does it work??

Any creature with soulbond can be paired with any other unpaired creature.

So can you pair two soul bond creatures for double effect?

One more question. Does soulbond continuously check or is it a one time ETB effect?

The trigger to bond will be a one time check.  whether or not they are paired will be a continuous check.

Okay so let's say I have {silverblade paladin} paired with some creature. The other creature is killed. Can I repair the paladin with something else?

Yes. They are only considered paired for as long as you control both. If one gets {Cloudshift}ed, the pair is broken. Although the creature is re-entering and can bound again. That's why these flicker effects are here folks!  Use'em!

When any other creature etb and the paladin is unpaired you can pair them.

Eeek!  At the prerelease?  I'd say stick with two colors and maybe a hint of a third.

Red/green aggro won the tournament I was in, followed by Boros. There is some major synergy going on in this set.

No no jester. A 60 card standard deck. I've tried 4 color at drafts. It certainly doesn't work

Hanweir lancer 2/2 with soul bound first strike 2r

Near death cleric? 2/1 soul bound lifelink
1w

I had 2 each and it owned. The green death touch fellow and Hanweir lancer was sick combo too. First strike and death touch? Match made in heaven.
