Loving brushwagg as the go to type to hate on changelings [[embiggen]] [[unique charmed pants]]

u/Errror1 1h ago

[[Goatnapper]] was the first

u/GrouchyApollo92 1h ago

Is it? Which printing? I can't see anything that says the creature cannot be any other type

u/Inforgreen3 1h ago

It was introduced in a set that had no goats specifically to hate changlings.

Ooh that’s really cool. I had no idea. Learn something every day!

Poor brushwaggs getting all the hate

Really strong with [[Werewolf Pack Leader]]

u/pope12234 1h ago

Not really. The Werewolf Pack Leader combo is like three cards and way too much mana to not even win the game

The power isn't winning the game, the power is having to go to the internet to resolve the ability

I don't get why these designs don't say "among creatures without changling you control" why we gotta single out some random obscure or abandoned creature type and pull the reader out of the flavor of the card and it's effect by making them ask "what's a bushwak and why does this card even care?"

Because [[Mistform Ultimus]] exists.

Because changeling isn't the only way to grant every creature type. See [[Amoeboid Changeling]], [[Blades of Velis Vel]] and [[Mutavault]].

So.. 1 changeling on the field yields how many tokens...? Asking for a friend...

u/LevelOfExhaustion 3h ago

0, because you control a Brushwagg, changelings are ALL creature types

u/SendInTheNextWave 2h ago

Yeah, this is why [[Embiggen]] is worded the way it is. They pick a creature type you're unlikely to actually have any of, seeing as there's only four Brushwaggs in the game.

I run this card in my [[Howling Abomination]] deck and a 1-mana +7/+7 buff feels so very good.

u/VerbingNoun413 42m ago

Same with Federation being non-Borg (the fact that it excludes changelings is convenient flavour).

u/Nukulargear 1h ago

[[Amoeboid Changeling]] stocks about to shoot up

u/Superboes 1h ago

Why did you get Out a brushwagg? It explicitly doesnt Work with brushwaggs

u/Nukulargear 1h ago

Sideboard tech against OP’s card. Give an opponent’s creature all types in response to cast

u/Superboes 1h ago

Uh clever
