So... Essence of the Wild + a few creatures = Skill Borrowing legion?

really unfortunate that it cannot copy planeswalker abilities, they are neither creature nor artifacts

I love running this in my black/blue deck with Arcanis the Omnipotent, Visara the Dreadful, Gilded Lotus, Quicksilver Amulet, Alexi, Zephyr Mage, Royal As sas sin and Darksteel Pendant
She has an uber ability probably 35% of the time and at early game that means a lot...

I was sorting through some of my no-longer-standard cards today, and noticed Skill Borrower, a card I've never given much consideration to. But as I mostly play casual these days, it seems like a fun, quirky card that appeals to my combo nature. Off the top of my head she has some nice synergy with Sensei's Diving Top, making sure that the top card of your library is one you want to keep using. There are plenty of very high cost creatures that she could take advantage of too. Off the top of my head, Avatar of Woe (and she'd pave the way for a cheaper casting of the real Avatar too) and Godsire. Nothing spectacular, but combo potential is certainly there. And she's in color for Jace TMS too, making for more forced top card shenanigans.
@Guest149029etc. - unfortunately, the *only* activated ability that the Brimstone Mage (or any other level up creature for that matter) is the actual level up ability itself. Their other abilities are static abilities - for example, in the case of Brimst... (see all)

@Vinifera
It doesn't matter how many cards have been printed that don't meet skill borrower's qualifications. It only matters how many cards are in your deck that don't meet the qualifications. If you jam pack you deck full of creatures and artifacts with activated abilities (say roughly 1/2 your deck) then if you have skill borrower out you have a 50% chance of having a creature or artifact with an activated ability on top.

This card is an incredibly powerful combo enabler in search of a combo to be paired with. Unfortunately, I cannot find that combo.

@zerosavant His fault for bringing a card he cared about to a game with silver-bordered cards, really.
