Drain your own life with the parasite.
Turn 1 two 11/11s!

EDIT: (Actually just drain your life to 4 instead of two and leave up {Mental Misstep}

Ok stupid question but how can you drain your own life with {Hex Parasite}. I have never seen life as counters.

You activate the ability for {X}=0 eight times, paying two life each time.

That is what I get for not paying attention to the mana symbol. Thanks Jester.

Yes. Think about how the card would literally be in EVERY DECK.

When the two Death's Shadow resolve from the stack, don't they just die from the -20/-20 before you even have time to pump it with the Hex creature? Becausw they're only permanents when they resolve, and you can't activite the Hex's abity until they have resolved, right?

You play the hex, an have two floating. Them you use hex's ability to go down to 4 or so life, then use the two floating for Death's shadow. Timing I everything.

It'd be awesome if your opponent did something like {memnite} {memnite} {Mox Opal} {Galvanic Blast}
Title: Re: Another Dark Ritual
Post by: Artifex on July 20, 2012, 02:36:00 PM
Oh, it's cuz Hex's ability says UP TO x counters. Because you can't play the ability if there are no counters to be removed since the two Death's shadows aren't on play, usually. But since it says UP TO, you can pay the cost to remove no counters, just lose life?
