Illusionist's bracers

[Wackaman9001]

With some manipulation, any planeswalker {march of the machines} and {mycosynth lattice}

[Mike_garzone]

And you could toss a {burden of guilt} for as many activations as your mana could provide. Could be quite interesting with the krenko combo listed below, and is in boros colors!

[Wackaman9001]

Burden only taps, no untapping

Fail lol I was in a rush, should have read the card again before I posted!

Standard synergy.
{Illusionist's Bracers} & {Olivia Voldaren}

And while in the vampire deck...
{Bloodline Keeper} (just make sure you move it before you hit the transform button, otherwise it will flip back over

Standard synergy.
{Illusionist's Bracers} & {Olivia Voldaren}

Yay another reason to have a personal hatred for Olivia.

I was thinking of a simple idea with  {Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage} with the  {Illusionist's Bracers}.Either double centaur or double populate.Damn those elementals.

[abstractApathist]

Standard:  {Krenko, Mob Boss} +  {Illusionist's Bracers} with  {Parallel Lives}. Goblins get out cf control real quick. If its just Krenko out, tapping him once would put 8 tokens out. Then if none if them die, next turn you pump out 54 more if my math is correct.

Awesome! Lets see...
(Krenko's{X} x2 for Parallel lives) +krenko's{X} for original amount = total;
bracers trigger for it, do again with new total to find final total
Makes this formula:
(Xx2)+X =Y; (Yx2)+Y;  =Z (or new X)

Krenko tap (X =1)
(1x2)+1 =3; (3x2)+3 =9
Next turn (X =9)
(9x2)+9 =27; (27x2)+27 =81

So by my calculations, more! Anyone good a math want to check my work?

I'm pretty sure that with {Parallel Lives} you only get double what X you would have gotten from Krenko, so I think it should look like:

Turn 1: Krenko puts out 2, then 6 tokens
Turn 2: Krenko puts out 18, then 54 tokens

Please correct me if I derped.

Nah, my formula is correct, I confirmed it with my math nerd mate. Lol. He then wanted to make the formula more condensed but I said it was written this way because it shows what each card is doing.

Krenko only puts X, where X is the number of tokens, and parallel lives only double that number, instead of adding a double of that number like your fomula says. It should be 2X, where X is the goblins you control...

(Krenko's x2 for Parallel lives) +krenko's for original amount = total;
bracers trigger for it, do again with new total to find final total
Makes this formula:
(Xx2)+X =Y; (Yx2)+Y;  =Z (or new X)

Krenko tap (X =1)
(1x2)+1 =3; (3x2)+3 =9
Next turn (X =9)
(9x2)+9 =27; (27x2)+27 =81

Ok let's revise.

We are using 3 cards.
{Krenko, Mob Boss}
{Parallel Lives}
{Illusionist's Bracers}

Krenko's ability. Count how many goblins. ={X}. Tap and add that many goblin tokens.

Parallel lives ability double amount of tokens put into play {X}x2

illusionist's bracers ability see activated ability, do it again.

Ok so lets say krenko is the only goblin you have in play. So {X}=1.
You add 1 goblin token, then double it (making a second) giving you a total of 3
Meanwhile the bracers has seen this activated ability and puts another on the stack waiting to resolve.
The second one resolves, checking {X} which now equals 3 as there is krenko and 2 goblin tokens in play.
So 3 more tokens are created, parallel lives doubles it (3 more) and then you have a new total of 9 goblins in play at the end of all of that.

Hope that helps clear it up

I see where my error was. Thanks!

Good stuff

[Gorzo]

+1 to Wally for Math

[Wally]

😃 Thanks

I was just thinking that after those 9 tokens your probably best bet would be to try and cast something like  {Blasphemous Act} (hitting {Stuffy Doll}s or {Boros Reckoner}s (cast for 1 red) or possibly just casting  {Burn at the Stake} and tapping all those new tokens.
