    Future Sight Cards

    Yeah, not many have been spolied yet, but there are a few:

    Elf Spellshaper G
    G tap, Discard a card: Put a 1/1 Green Elf druid creature token named Llanowar Elves into play "with Tap: Add G to your mana pool."
    1/1
    Uncommon


    Sliver Legion WUBRG

    Legendary Creature - Sliver
    All Sliver creatures get +1/1 for each other Sliver in play.
    7/7
    Rare

    Sprout Swarm 1G
    Instant
    Convoke
    Buyback 3
    Put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token into play


    Akroma's Memorial 7
    Legendary Artifact
    Creatures you control gain Flying, first strike, vigilance, trample, haste, protection from black, and protection from red.

    This is all from mtgsalvation.com

    None powerful enough for Legacy, I don't think. I like Sprout Swarm though, it could possibly be a finisher in some sort of UG control deck (outside Legacy).

    I think Sprout Swarm could do some rediculous things in Limited games where one deck is stalling until they get Sprout Swarm going and then clog the board with tokens (Buyback + Convoke work so well together when your spell is make creatures...).

    Bah. Pyroclasm is sorcery speed, and you'd obviously be running Concordant Crossroads. They'd have to bust out some sort of Hail/Sandstorm bullshit to hose you.

    Re: Future Sight Cards

    You guys are such pessimists. I think Sprout Swarm will be really good, because what if your opponent has Solitary Confinement-lock out? Then it's like you've got nothing better to do with your creatures except tap them to make a new 1/1 each turn anyway!

    Nah, then you just go infinite with Food Chain and kill them with one gigantic Maga, Traitor to Mortals .

    Actually, I absolutely loved killing CAL players in Extended with 4x Kokusho straight through their Confinement.

    You didn't do that all at once, right?

    If the red spellshaper makes Spark Elementals, as rumored, that'll be sweet in my BR madness deck. Here's hoping they give us a red Wild Mongrel varient or something.

    Re: Future Sight Cards

    I'm (naturally) excited at the prospect of a spellshaper that makes Metallic Slivers. Useless land? Nah, it's a 3/4 beater. I doubt it's a sliver itself though, so it would likely have a very short lifespan...

    I'm not sure what that exactly means. Anyway, it happened while I was trying out Extended Dragonstorm.

    I mean, you didn't plop all four into play at once to one-hit KO them. If it's Dragonstorm, though...I was thinking something more along the lines of Living Death, but that's not in Extended, so I wasn't sure how you could get them all in play at once like that. Forgot about Dragonstorm, though.

    I'm trying to figure out how you think you're going to go infinite with the card and Food Chain, and nothing's coming to me. Tap four creatures and pay a mana to.... get one mana? HAWT!

    Did you mean Intruder Alarm?

    You have me there. What I meant was use Food Chain in addition to the Intruder Alarm combo I mentioned earlier to power out a huge ass Maga. Now you just need a way to translate infinite creatures into infinite card draw (Stroke?) and/or tutoring for Maga, and you have yourself one hell of a (terribly fragile) combo deck!

    edit: You know, none of these ideas are probably remotely viable in Legacy, but since Intruder Alarm was reprinted in 8th, someone could totally make a Sprout Swarm/Intruder Alarm/Phyrexian Altar/Skyscribing/Maga combo deck for Extended. If you couldn't deck them without decking yourself, you just draw your deck and drop a Maga. It could totally work...right?

    You could do that with Patriarch's Bidding too. I think you could find a Kokusho Bidding list in several Extended boards, but it's not a very good deck - it essentially combines the weaknesses of both Dragonstorm and Elemental Bidding.

    Re: Future Sight Cards

    With infinite creatures you can use Altar of Dementia or Goblin Bombardment pretty well. That's how the Mirage/Tempest era Mesacraft decks worked before they decided Earthcraft was a little too good.
    BZK! - Storm Boards

    Been there, tried that, still casting Doomsday.

    Or you could kill them all with Diamond Valley, one turn at a time! Yes! combo!

    It's like fountain of youth with two cards!

    Re: Future Sight Cards

    If you want to go the infinite life route, you could always just have a Soul/Essence Warden in play when you get all your tokens.

    So that's infinite creatures, infinite life, infinite damage, infinite life loss....sounds pretty tech, I'll drum up a list later .

    Re: Future Sight Cards

    All these win conditions sound narrow, fragile, and hard to assemble. Too bad there isn't any other way to use creatures to win the game, like some game action that would let you do one damage for every 1/1 you have.

Plus, engineered explosives has sunburst.
