Are there any other good combos with Homeward Path?

The hunted cycle?

Either way, it doesn't work as the Defector has a "your turn only" clause. So it can't block then activate. Stil highly amusing with green and blue untappers.

Was wondering why Haunted Horror + Homeward Path wasn't a thing. That sucks.

Containment Priest stops manifest, right?

So you're likely paying 8 mana for said trampler across multiple turns, all while getting beaten to death by a batterskull that costed 4 mana.

I don't think Mastery is the way to go if you want to go for the Dreadnought combo route. G/W Mirage tutors + Soul Summons + Wild Call are probably better for that since they're 1+2+1 mana investements and two card combos that are exchangable.

Hard to say what the rest of the deck would look like, though.

@Cire: Hunted tokens are owned by the opponent, that was changed years ago. Otherwise Brand would be pretty nifty as well.

Yeah, it could be derpy with Mind over Matter and Anger or some other way give it haste.

Also useable with sacrifice instant effects like Altar's Reap or Perilous Research.

If you're going this route, you're probably still better off with Hatching Plans.

Starke of Rath is also a thing with Homeward Path.

3W: Manifest the top card of your library.

Seems like a pretty decent tool for combating Miracles, especially for something like Maverick. Possibly also good in Miracles?

Spam the board with resistors, nuke the lands, finish the game by turning dead draws into 2/2s.

Creatures, Artifacts, Enchantments, and Planeswalkers remain in play.

I figured it'd be something like this.

That's actually kind of fine, right, I mean - what's the alternative. Exile? Understandable; a bit like 8-bit Super Mario standing up in a cavern that he doesn't have room to stand up in, the game "pushes" him towards the nearest empty space or something. Just be glad it doesn't shit the spell onto the stack, there would be all kinds of boring shenanigans trying to get spells under Manifest overlays just to cast Time Durdle for :1::w:. No thank you sir.

GG. I quit Magic. The actual reality being shifted is the damn color pie.

That's been in blues color pie since Pongify.

Wait. I just reread it and gave it some thought. You might be right. The world is not ending. I'll be okay.

And with that, I've encompassed the entire emotional spectrum of spoiler season in two posts. Must be a personal record.

I wonder if there are any decks that could utilize it.

There are a lot of utility creatures that this could bring back like: Stingscourger. But I am more interested in being CWAZY: Master of Cruelties? Could be an instant kill if no blockers?

Some other fun - high cost, low power creatures:

Brass Herald - Give your guy a +1/+1 plus search for other humans?
Duplicant - Remove a blocker, and attack with that said blocker!
Gigantomancer - make both your guys 7/7's
Trostani's Summoner - Get 9 power worth of tokens.
Vedalken Dismisser - Be really annoying.

To be fair, due to its hybrid cost, it could also bring back stuff like KotR.

But you are correct, Alesha + Master = instagib
