More combos, more fun. Give things (creatures, cards, persist) to everyone!
-Give cards: Rites of Flourishing
-Give creatures: Liege of the Hollows
-Give persist: Cauldron of Souls (more frequently with Seedborn Muse in play)
-Lifeline is the most broken card I can imagine. When it is in play, all 'sacrifice's I make become imaginary. Except for effects triggered by taking even the briefest of visits to the graveyard, and the resulting 'comes into play' effects. (ok, oracle says that lifeline helps opponent also, but still) This means...
-sac for Birthing Pod just causes touch grave/respawn
-sac for Life Chisel just causes touch grave/respawn
-sac for Feed the Pack just causes touch grave/respawn
-sac from not paying an 'Echo' cost just causes touch grave/respawn
-Order of creature search. Get on the bandwagon anywhere in the first few
- Fierce Empath for
- Brutalizer Exarch for
- Seedborn Muse, and then put out Omnath if he isn't already out. Start pooling mana on opponents turns.
Hopefully get Citanul Flue or Birthing Pod, (remember that those will untap also on opponents turns with Seedborn) or otherwise draw:
- Elvish Piper (not neccessary but easier if managing mana)
- Kuldotha Forgemaster then
- Myr Battlesphere
Now sac 3 of the 4 Myr tokens from the battlesphere with Forgemaster to fetch:
-Lifeline
Hopefully you may have gotten Birthing Pod or Life Chisel by now. Otherwise you want someone to kill your Battlesphere so that it comes back and drops 4 more Myr tokens. Alternatively, you can also use erratic portal to put it back in hand and replay it. Or if Lifeline is not out, perhaps use the Cauldron of Souls to give persist and send it on a suicide run. However you slice it, once you get more tokens, you can then fish for about anything. Citanul Flue to fetch Vorinclex, or Caged Sun also, both of which ramp your mana.
This assumes you don't just get planar portal and go right for lifeline.
Also, basalt monolith with Mana Reflection gives you infinite mana. Kill Liege of the Hollows and you get infinite creatures. Life Chisel will then give you infinite life (not to mention as much draw as you want if Fecundity is out). You can also get infinite bears and do the same from this combo if you use Divining Wand's draw ability and then modify it with Words of Wilding.
If stealing a creature is a goal, SB Helm of Posession in.
If giving an opponent life is a goal, SB Soul Conduit in.
if least artifacts (ugh) is a goal, creeping corrosion (or just stick with nullmage). Also change darksteel plate to predator ooze. (the reasoning for at least one 'indestructible' is that a 'destroy all creatures' will not work if lifeline+ one indestructible is out. however, while the equipment is nice and reusable, it would not blow up to creeping corrosion because of *its* indestructibility)
Also in SB, I do not have Magus of the Candelabra or Helm of Posession available to me.
Also, Gauntlets of Power could replace Caged Sun (saves 1 mana for more $$), and Extraplanar Lens could replace Vernal Bloom (1 cheaper, eliminate chance of helping other green players). Again $$.
Green Sun's Zenith is $$ too.
