What are some combos you guys can think of for {cosmic larva}

I think his effect might have some wacky combo potential

Other than {fast bond} and {curcible of worlds}

{Fling} :)
lol. Ok, that's a little more blunt than I was working for, but definitely works. Anybody think of anything wacky that goes with this? Maybe something that triggers when lands hit the graveyard? Or your sac a permanent/land? Or that care about the number of lands in the graveyard?

{deathrite shaman} can use its effect, {assault strobe} & {fling} synergize, {miming slime} then {fling} the original

Mike_garzone

Or drop {fervor}, play {cosmic larva} and keep using {unsummon} to bounce it back to your hand to recast at will.

I have two of these as well, I feel the same as you, SOMETHING must combo with it!

Birdbrain

Ok, cool. Any other cards that can make this one card bizzare? Other than {fling}. I get it, use his power against opponent. But how can I turn its effect to my advantage besides {death rite shaman}?

 {Azusa, Lost but Seeking} + {Crucible of Worlds} essentially negates the larvas effect... Don't know anything that would turn it in your favor though!

well I'm going to find one. It's a weird card, and I want to find a use for it

MisterJH

You could {bazaar trader} it or something then nerf its power/ability to attack? Idk how youd guarantee it stay on their field but you could do it. {agoraphobia} it {bazaar trader} it then find a way to keep it alive

Gorzo

Only thing I can think of is {Isocron Scepter} imprinted with {Stifle} or {Trickbind}. Counter it's sacrifice ability for a measly 2 mana/turn is a pretty reasonable cost for a 3-mana 7/6 trample, no?

And yeah, giving it haste somehow would be a huge plus.

Birdbrain

Ok cool. Though I'm not talking about canceling its ability. I want to use it in a wacky combo

It took some digging, but I found some decent cards that work off having land in the graveyard. {Forgotten Harvest} can turn a land into a buff every turn, {Genju of the Spires} can be a decently strong creature for 3 mana each turn, {Harvest Wurm} is a fairly costed creature that you shouldn't have a problem summoning, {Planar Birth} could set you up for a big X burn spell, and {Terravore} could become pretty big. Lastly, I think {Akki Raider} would be a nice addition.

Oh, and I strongly discourage this, but {Knight of the Reliquary} works off land in the grave. Really not for a red deck though, so it'd be pretty bad.

i was going to put it in a red/ green deck. Or my naya zoo once I get the cards for it. And thanks. Do you happen to have any of these cards?

Double-O-Scotch

I like it! Also consider {reckless charge}

No problem! Unfortunately, I do not have these cards. If I did, I'd send them your way.
