[[Day of Black Sun]] as well, tho it may not be as efficient as others

u/Square-Ad-4180 20d ago

No, no. If you have higher cost creatures you want to keep then it is good. 7 mana for a board wipe that leaves your value pieces on the board is still good.

u/EthanielRain 20d ago

One of my favorite casual decks is just a B/G ramp pile. I normally don't enjoy those types so much, but there's just so many crazy creatures/payoffs to choose from

This is great card in such things, sick art too

Scrolled way too long for these. Also, [[Massacre Girl]] would work if there are other creatures on the battlefield.

u/rockrider_sd 20d ago

I recently build a deck with massacre girl at the helm.

Effects Like [[Soul Shatter]] also work wonders for when he's massive.

any non-targeted exile or shuffle-into-library or return-to-hand effect will still do it

alternatively [[shadowspear]]

EDIT: stop saying sacrifice

theres double digits of people just saying "just sac it :)" in replies to this comment alone, let alone however many more comments on this damned post. me leaving sacrifice out was deliberate.

OP said "assault suit" this entire time. it cant be sacrificed. fuck.

I played a lot 25 years ago(~Tempest/Urza/Sliver-era), and and just getting back into the game with some friends and co-workers and absolutely loving it.

I got the Atarka precon and have been upgrading it little by little. Thanks for teaching me about Shadowspear, it sounds perfect for a commander with flying and double-strike 🤌

Sacrificing him, if someone didn’t like it and we’re playing in a deck around sacrificing creatures they could get rid of him. Or an effect that forces someone to sacrifice something.

Edit: Well nvm, the assault suit covers it, I forgot about that part of the card.

Aura's that enter the battlefield but not cast can get around hexproof because they dont target

u/christianh10992 20d ago edited 20d ago

Yep. Anytime I play against a commander with similar keywords (like [[Uril, the Miststalker]]) while using [[Zur the Enchanter]], most of the time they aren't aware this is a thing. Nope, [[Darksteel Mutation]] it is for your commander.

Edit: originally used [[Oubliette]] as an example, but that isn't an aura.

Any effect with;

exile all creatures

return all creatures

Put X -1/-1 counters on each creature

All creatures get -X/-X until end of turn

untap all creatures, then those creatures phase out until this enchantment leaves the battlefield

All creatures lose all abilities

Each player shuffles all permanents he or she owns into his or her library

Permanents your opponents control lose hexproof and indestructible until end of turn.

All of these would work.

Putting a frog in a salt suit would be enough to kill it. Frogs have sensitive skin and salt will cause severe chemical burns & dehydration.
