Leashling + Azorius Aethermage is entirely useless in a way that seems like it could be abused (Draw a card for  ? Sure! What do you mean, I have to put a card from my hand on my library first...) Come to think of it, it could be decent in a Miracle-based deck, especially if you use it to get the Miracles off during an opponent's turn. Or, if we want to stay deliciously janky, use the Leashling to plan ahead when you Search The City. EDIT: Eradicate + Spy Kit + Magnetic Theft. I'm sorry - did your deck need creatures? How frightfully droll.

Just add Niv or Niv to your Leashling + Azorius Aethermage combo, no ? Or you play Niv and the whole combo fits in one card lol. Your Eradicate + Spy Kit + Magnetic Theft is charming btw, and playable. |

As for Niv... part of the whole idea behind the Aethermage + Leashling combo is to abuse the fact that you can "draw" as many cards as you want without decking yourself. Scroll Rack is, of course, a better choice... but it isn't as deliciously janky. |

Ah, where did you get it ?  Ok i forgot that you actually have to pay  in order to be able once again to draw your already drawn card. I thought it was "free", making it be a 1 damage for ability as long as you control Niv. In fact it's a 1 damage for  ability at sorcery speed.  |

I don't remember where I got it, though I did find some spoiler pages from when Spy Kit was spoiled mention it as a possibility (though usually it involved Donating the creature instead). Yeah, looking at it again... the Aethermage+Leashling combo is essentially "put any number of cards from your hand on top of your library, then draw a card" for (I messed up when thinking about the triggers). Still not great for Niv, but you still get some interesting combo potential with Miracles. Seriously, a boardwipe for  at instant speed is nothing to sneeze at (thank you, Terminus). |

Let me tell you about the Fall of the Thran. Or, more specifically, the murderous combo potential it has with Evolution Sage. Play the Saga before dropping your land, blow up all lands, then drop a land to proliferate five times and end up with five lands on the battlefield. If you can flash in Sagas ( Raff Capashen. Ship's Mage is the obvious answer), flashing in The Mending of Dominaria with some proliferate triggers still on the stack is a perfect way to use that five mana. |

When I was a Wee Lass and basically first getting into Magic (AKA when I was 18, like a decade ago almost), I made an Eldrazi deck because I thought they were SUPER COOL. It was a casual green/blue ramp deck, basically limited but I didn't know what that meant. It was casual with friends. But it was still so slow compared to their decks, so I began looking into ways to get them out faster.
And then I found it. Baby's first combo.
Technically this works for literally any tribe (except walls, I guess, hilariously enough). It was so dumb but getting it off them slamming down Emrakul for zero brought a LOT of laughs to my Johnny/Timmy self and friends.

Ah, the good ol' innocent times. I was so proud of my Wizard deck that focused around Information Dealer that I... forgot to add a win condition? I want to say that it naively dropped lands until I could get out Reya Dawnbringer. I don't think that deck ever won anything ever. The joy of building with the cards in the store's bargain bin... I might go down to my LFGS and see what kind of deck I can build for five bucks. Damn you, lizstar , you're making me want to actually spend money on cardboard crack again! I have a wife and kids grad school to pay for, damn it! |

I'm not sure that this is possible. Is Emrakul already a spell that you can target even before you paid its mana cost or is it still considered as a card in your hand ?

Nah, you drop Rooftop storm first (it's 6 mana, so good luck I guess), then Artifical Evolution on it, change "Zombie" to "Eldrazi", then all of your Eldrazi cost 0.
Though I'm not QUITE sure what you mean and I'm not sure I follow fully.

Lol i forgot that you could target the enchantment rather than spending one Artificial Evolution for each creature you want to cast... Sorry. ^^

I originally used the Druid and the Sculptor because the idea was to make it repeatable (as a way to abuse cards that call for non-land permanents). There aren't many of those, though. Fair. I actually forgot all about how land creatures have summoning sickness.
Blood Funnel + Zada, Hedron Grinder is kinda funny, all things considered. Who cares if the original spell gets countered? Actually... Zada plus Arcane cards can be surprisingly good. There are a number of cheap Splice effects that let your cards target creatures ( Hundred-Talon Strike and Veil of Secrecy are the cheapest, but Into the Fray let's you stick with Red). There are some hilariously dumb things you can do with this: • Spiritual Visit doubles the number of creatures you have out. You can have this on most of your spells for just . • If you want to really piss your opponents off... splice Spiritual Visit onto Crack the Earth, and make everyone else sacrifice everything. • Need more mana to fuel all of your spell-casting needs? Kodama's Reach can grab you all the lands. • Sure, it gets expensive, but other than Wojek Siren, Sigil Blessing, and Phalanx Tactics, Arcane cards are the only way to get Zada to mass-copy spells that buff your whole board. |

Too bad the Eldrazi Spawn/Scion spawners are in every color other than White, because Mentor of the Meek can turn all of those tokens into card draw. Like, I dunno, Brood Birthing. "  - If you control an Eldrazi Spawn, draw three cards. Otherwise, create an Eldrazi Spawn". That's quite a bit of card advantage right there. Or Rapacious One, which basically turns into a 5/4 Cold-Eyed Selkie with trample. Heck, Corpsehatch, Dread Drone, and Essence Feed even start to look reasonable. And Skittering Invasion is a 7-mana "draw 5 cards" sorcery you can run in mono-White... EDIT: Sigil Captain + Heartless Summoning turns Morph into "play a 3/3 for ", which is pretty decent. Especially since your creatures will keep those counters when they flip. Maybe toss in a Salt Road Ambusher as a curve topper? And, if you want to get rid of your Heartless Summoning later, why not pack an Ainok Survivalist? This started off as a "man, this is so janky" idea, but then I started thinking about Obscuring Aether and Trail of Mystery, and it started feeling a bit more doable... |

You will need a Henge or Whisperer with the morph guys because playing one 3/3 for or even  per turn in lategame is not very threatening. |

Foiled! --- Still, arthurxiv, it's not that hard to toss some card draw into a Green or Black deck. |

Yes you're both completely true, thanks. I have a great one: Tome of Legends + Yawgmoth. Wow it even works in non-Commander formats ! |

arthurxiv Interesting... It'd be pretty unexpected, honestly. So, here's a janky bit of mono-red control. Have a Skophos Maze-Warden or two on the battlefield... then slap a Racecourse Fury on your Labyrinth of Skophos. Now you have a land with "  : Target creature gets Haste until end of turn, then you may have a bunch of burly Minotaurs beat the crap out of them". Toss in a Darksteel Garrison, because why not. It's surprisingly hard to give lands targeted abilities. Hostile Realm could be interesting too, but the advantage of Racecourse Fury is that it's dirt cheap and reasonably flexible if you don't draw into your "combo".

Racecourse Fury indeed is the best of the few options for this wonderful combo. Even if this card was reprinted the combo wouldn't be played though :/.
