Mmm BoP.

[NillaWafers]

The only thing the Hanson's ever did right... and they they did it so very very wrong. Glad when they switched from singing to brewing, but why on earth would you name your beer Mmm Hop???  It hurts my brain.

Any who. I'm sure this probably isn't new to anyone, but killing people with BoPs is a hobby of mine.

{Experiment Kraj} + {Pemmin's Aura} + {Birds of Paradise} = QUARK!
And a {Mana Reflection}.
Might want to add {Rancor} to that.

Anyone else have a favorite death-by-BoP strategy? 

[XFatal]

I killed someone with an exalted {Moonglow Moth} once, does that count? If not, I guess you could use {Increasing Savagery} on the Birds, then give it a {Protective Bubble}

[NillaWafers]

I suppose {Goldenglow Moth} counts. Same general concept. 

Now I have a question: Instead of {Pemmin's Aura} would {Simic Ragworm}work if it had a +1/+1 counter on it.
This is been a subject of great debate in the personal meta and the argument is starting to drive me nuts. 

[BlackJester]

I think I'm missing something here...
Can I have a hint?

I've always liked Birds with Swords!  I mean, how the heck are they swinging those things. 😂

By-the-by, I've been on the receiving end of many a BoP and {Might of Oaks}. 😖

Eew {Might of Oaks}. lol And did ya need a hint on the Hanson Brother's reference? Or the Ragworm question?
It's quite possible that I'm dating myself with that reference but I'd like to think I'm not an old fart yet.

You mean would the Kraj get his ability? Yup! It's an activated ability!

[NillaWafers]

Yes but the activated ability says "U: untap Simic Ragworm" so my question it does that change to "Experiment Kraj"? Because I think the rules would explain it as you can just untap {Simic Ragworm} because it references the card itself. If it doesn't imply that, then more fun for me! 

[BlackJester]

Anytime you see the card's name in the text, you can replace it with "this permanent".

What I didnt follow is the original combo. (I got the Mmm BoP🎶 reference, sadly 😢)

[NillaWafers]

Ah ha! Couldn't find that in the rules though but then again I can only read them for so long before my head starts to spin lol.
Derp. Silly me. I forgot to add {Mana Reflection}.

I suppose {Experiment Kraj} {Orochi Leaf Caller} {Pemmin's Aura}/{Freed from the Real} and {Viridian Joiner} does it better. But BoPs are BoPs. 

Edit: While we're at it, lets add {Umbral Mantle}

I'll go add {Mana Reflection} above.

[BlackJester]

Ahhhhhhh!

[XFatal]

As this rate, you should throw an {Eldrazi Conscription} on it while you have {Vigor} in play!

[NillaWafers]

Moral of this story:

{Viridian Joiner} is broke in Simic.
