If it can get Phyrexian Altar with reasonable reliability then I think that's enough. It will be able to get anything with a mass reanimation spell, so I think it has excellent potential. I'm not ditching Sidisi, Undead Vizier for it, but I'm definitely making room for it.Zed117 wrote: ↑1 week agoPlan on testing it this Thursday for commander night. At worse it comes in and can tutor Gravecrawler, skullclamp, reconnaissance, swords or reanimate since it counts itself for 1.Reya wrote: ↑1 week agoI think we can seriously consider playing Feral Ghoul. It easily goes infinite and kills our opponents with infinite rad counters.
- Phyrexian Altar + Crawler
- Lili + Ashnod Altar + Automaton
- Haakon + Ashnod + Automaton
- Haakon + Phyrexian Altar + 1 mana knight
- Lili + Crawler + Phyrexian Altar
- Etc.
In fact there is a lot of « accidental » potential kill with Feral Ghoul. It allows us to spread the possibilities of going infinite. And a 2/2 growing menace body is not so bad by itself regarding our strategy. It help us achieve victory if other combo pieces are exiled.
Did you try the card ?
And more questioning regarding Grim Servant. It's not the bomb I think it was. The problem is the mana value and the devotion. Our deck is mostly a graveyard deck and we have more scenario where our devotion will be 0 or close to 0. Meaning that this 4 mana tutor is pretty useless by itself. After play testing it, it's not an all star. The best plays I had with it were when I was able to reanimate it with Reanimate or Animate Dead, so my devotion was between 1 and 4. I need more testing to be fixed on its fate.
Anyone else tested it ?
Best case it can go get an altar, mass reanimation spell, etc.
Feral Ghoul is certainly yet another way to abuse Gravecrawler or Haakon, Stromgald Scourge et. al., but I'm not sure we need another way. If it were one or even two mana value I'd be more interested. Maybe if I ever get tired of some the current ways of abusing these reanimation effects I'll give Ghoul a try.
