Obscure Cards with Latent Potential

[TheInfamousBearAssassin]

I agree on Oversold Cemetery + Recurring Nightmare, especially in this attrition heavy metagame, these cards really ought to see more play.

What kind of deck would you put them in?

[Tacosnape]

Didgeridoo also works with Artificial Evolution, if you want to be dumb and make it drop out Eldrazi or Angels instead of Minotaurs.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

My inner skeptic is wondering what makes this better than PainterStone, but my inner child doesn't give a shit, because Didgeridoo is fucking awesome.

[Malchar]

Well, Painter's Servant is vulnerable to basically every form of removal. Didgeridoo and Artificial Evolution are a little harder to remove, but then again it's a 3 card combo until they print an overpowered minotaur.

Some kind of attrition deck with Hymn to Tourach, probably, and creatures.

Alternately, you could throw it in Goblins, that would probably be fine and make it even more ridiculous vs all these fair decks.

I dont think Didgerdoo works with Artificial Evolution. It only targets spells or permanents. A card in your hand is neither.

You'd use Artificial Evolution to change Didgeridoo to say "You may put an Eldrazi permanent card from your hand onto the battlefield.", not change your in-hand Eldrazi into a Minotaur.

Yosei, The Morning Star + Recurring Nightmare is pretty damn sick.

[Dark Ritual]

I seriously LOL'ed hard when Tacosnape mentioned artificial evolution + didgeridoo to combo eldrazi into play. On the flip side, you could name golem on didgeridoo to cheat blightsteel into play or sundering titan or any golem's for that matter then again eldrazi are pretty sick when you swing with them. Only downside to eldrazi is that they're legendary so karakas gets them.

I'm actually tempted to make a deck with that janky combo now despite it taking 3 cards to pull off it would be funny to play didgeridoo, have opponent go "Wtf is this card...are you playing tribal minotaurs?" Then go artificial evolution into emrakul on them just would be priceless.

Sickus, Minotaur Overlordus

Legendary Minotaur
If Sickus, Minotaur Overlordus would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, Exile it.

So what you're suggesting is revisit Thunderbluffs 2.0?

Just when it seemed that Sneak Attack and Natural Order couldn't get any better.

[Hanni]

Don't forget Show and Tell!

[GGoober]

Lol awesome hanni, I got a good laugh (at the Show and Tell one :P)

@Taco: The deck would be good except that it loses to Mental Misstep and Chalice@1 :( I did not realize didgeridoo was 1cmc, you can totally play Trinketcontrol and tutor it up for a win-condition when you draw your Artifical Evolution.

[dahcmai]

You guys can be proud now. I am going to live the dream. I added one Artificial evolution to my EDH deck. It already had a didgeridoo and a couple Eldrazis so why not. if I actually get that, I deserve that win.

[Guy I Don't Know]

How about Word of command, making hive mind to play pact before they have hive mind in play :)

[Justin]

LOL! You could get a turn one win against them if you can accelerate it out with a dark rit or mox. However, it's too inconsistant and they can play Brainstorm to hide their pacts after they have a blue mana. Angel's Grace or Sundial are still much better, but I would love to see the look on a Hive Mind players face after losing to Word of Command before they even get their first turn.

[Dark Ritual]

That's why you misstep brainstorm ;) if I owned word of command and expected lots of hive mind I would play that card lol the techiest. The card is so janky but it's sweet against hive mind for obvious reasons. Get it on the play with dark rit or moxen and you get bonus points when you smash them with that word of command.

[Koby]

Super bonus points for casting this in response to Intuition.
