5/5 turn three

[Birdbrain]

{phalanx leader} + {common bond}
He'll get four +1/+1 counters. Two from his ability, and two from the spell

[Almosteric]

pretty cool,

how about an 9/9

turn one forest into mana dork {Elvish mystic}
turn two plains into two drop or {elixir of immortality}
turn three forest into {heros reunion} gain seven life cast {voracious wurm} 9/9
or crack elixir gain five life cast wurm 7/7

[Birdbrain]

Selesnya is going to be bad@$$ in Theros

[Almosteric]

indeed.

If you were to drop elixir and a second and third mystic on turn 2 you could use both for a total life gain of 12, giving you a 14/14

Heroic is activated per casting right? Doesn't that mean targeting it more than once from a single casted spell only activates Heroic once?

no, because it targets a creature with a +1/+1 counter. Then you can choose to target it again with a +1/+1 counter

[Steerpike]

I was a little curious cause Heroic says "whenever you cast a spell..."
If there's only one casting, doesn't the number of times you can target not matter?

1: Forest, {avacyn's pilgrim}.
2: Plains, {phalanx leader}, Rush {Slaughterhorn} on leader.
  Pilgrim is now 2/2 and the leader is 5/4 until end of turn, though neither can attack yet.
3: Land, {common bond}.
  Depending on multi target ruling, Pilgrim is a 4/4 & leader is a 6/6! Or u have the turn 3 5/5 with a 3/3 to accompany. Of course, a pair of growths in your hand instead of common bond would do even better, but as its selesnya that's where I'd want {advent of the wurm} instead for an even more threatening turn 4!

[DylanW18]

You can Bloodrush a summoning sick creature, because they have to attack

[Flashley_ska]

Oh yeah! Giant growth it is instead then - also giving you the chance to cast in their turn.

It really does. "Target attacking creature..."

on another thread. Someone said it wouldn't work with heroic

[Flashley_ska]

I think the contention there is whether it is whether"cast" or just an ability is activated. as far as i can tell bloodless is an alternative cost to cast, so would count. either way, there's enough one drop instants and sorceress to make the second turn still profit, without rush.
