nice suggestion. though, i want to use the effect, not bypass it.

Gorzo

Just thought of {Mimic Vat}. Have it sac itself and add it to the vat, and you have yourself a nice little toy!

well. I suppose I should have expected lots of combos that try to negate his effect instead of harness it. Lol

Gorzo

There really aren't any ways to make losing your own lands beneficial to you. Aside from minor cantrips like {Deathrite Shaman}'s ability, sacrificing your land is only going to hurt you, and hurt you bad.

#22
{fast bond} + {crucible of worlds} + that one card were you sac a land to gain 3 life...

Edit: {overgrown estate}

What were you saying now gorzo?

Gorzo

I think you're missing the gist of what I meant ;)

{Fastbond} is banned is essentially every format because of how easily it abuses everything to absurd proportions. There are lots of combos for Fastbond, and {Crucible of Worlds} has many combo pieces as well. But it's the ease of use, wording, and way that they do what they do that make them so versitile and powerful. A card ability like the once-per-turn-at-a-specific-time-with-unchangable-perimeters-and-an-effect-that-by-itself-accomplishes-nothing-but-self-detriment on {Cosmic Larva} can't become a Johnny card because anyone wills it to - I'm sure there are a couple great synergies, and maybe a combo or two for it, but any powerful combos involving sacrificing lands or creatures have much more reliable and efficient options.

Birdbrain

I guess that's true. Though an awesome synergy may exist. It would be like going to a big city, and expect to find an alien space ship shooting banana cream pies at everyone, while a hoard of gremlins jumps over a green and blue moon to find it. Right?

Gorzo

I would LOVE an alien space ship shooting cream pies.

Just realized...the larva is perfect with the new card {drowned in filth}

true. So I guess a deck around it would be Jund colored
