Eruption would make you sac {Kresh the Bloodbraided}, losing all the counters.

It IS rediculously mana intensive, but there are ways around it.

{Donate} it with {Bazaar Trader}. XD

then take it back with {Brand}. Hey, that's not so bad...
If you have the mana, {Reins of Power}, but it's blue.  {Gauntlets of Chaos}?

There's really no way I can think of that lets you keep control of Kresh and not have it be sacrificed.

I would have said {cauldron haze} but then it would have lost all counters. 😭

Hey! Brilliant idea. Any way to give it the abilities of {skullbriar, the walking grave}? Then it wouldn't lose the counters?

no. first of all you would have to hope he had no counters yet. second it still doesn't matter because by the time undying resolves everything has already been sacrificed.

That gives me an idea for a combo.
Use {Reigns of Power} to switch your creatures. Then sac them all, {Helion Eruption} then use {Brand} to get your creatures back. Laugh at your creature less enemy and enjoy your new hellions! :D
Extremely mana heavy.

If you want all the creatures back in one turn, then brand is a good use. If not, reigns of power is until end of turn anyway, sooooo by the end of your turn, you will have them back anyway. So no worries. I like that combo!!! And I have those cards. So I am going to figure out a deck to use that.
