Title: Phantom grasp and ghoul caller's bell
Post by: Validan on December 04, 2011, 11:13:57 AM
My friend coined this combo in our playgroup, I love seein it played, but it's hysterically annoying to have happen to you. Use {Grasp of phantoms} to pop a creature back to the opponent's library and then get rid of it with {ghoul caller's bell}. Simple yet effective.

It seems almost pointless to keep milling the same card..

It's not about milling the same card, but "killing" a creature without actually killing it.

Well, it's a way of killing indestructible, pro-black, or other difficult to kill dudes.

Also, you mill everyone at the table. Including yourself.

 I just re-read grasp and realized that it could target spells on the table. I thought it could only target spells in the 'yard.. I must be really tired :p
