Title: Cheating the Test... Subject
Post by: BlackJester on December 11, 2011, 11:44:31 PM
Turn {Ludevic's Test Subject} into another transforming card like {Civilized Scholar} with {Cytoshape}. When you transform it, it will flip to its 13/13 side.

Well, yes of course TWO 13/13s are better that one, but cloning or copying a huge creature isn't really a combo. It's just a smart play.

The idea here is to cheat out a 13/13 by turn four.

I don't understand how this combo works?

Okay, let's try this again:

Step 1: have {Civilized Scholar} and {Ludevic's Test Subject} in play

Step 2:  use {Cytoshape} to turn the Test Subject into the Scholar

Step 3: use the new Scholar's (which used to be a Test Subject) ability to draw a card and discard a creature card.

Step 4: transform the New scholar/old Test Subject to its other face. Violà !  You now have a 13/13 on turn four, ready to attack.

This is legitamate?  It won't transform into {civilized scholar}'s backside?  Is that because it only changes the front of the card?

711.2. Each face of a double-faced card has its own set of characteristics.

Only the characteristics of the face that is showing will be copied, or copied over. The other face is treated separately.

Cheating the Test Subject V2.0

Step1: Cast {Amoebiod Changling)

Step2: Cast {Ludevic's Test Subject}

Step3: Turn the Test subject into a human with the changeling and cast {Moonmist}

Viola!  Turn four (or three with mana accel) 13/13

Step4: Demolish!
