Most people miss the best thing about this card. It's not the potential for combo, it's not the alt-win condition, it's synergy with the other Naya cards in the block.

The true value of this card is the same as Teneb, the Harvester, the same as Marit Leige as obtained from Dark Depths. It's not about winning or losing. It's about doing it SPECTACULARLY. Yes, I'm hitting you in the face with a 24/24 Teneb. It's cool that you locked me down, I win in three turns with Mayael. 20/20 turn three, problem?

I guess you could just use Fling or Soul's Fire but this card has style.

A very, very, very good card for a predominantly green Naya deck when playing as the emperor in an Emperor game.

Turn 1: Birds of Paradise + Forest
Turn 2: Mayael's Aria + Plains/Mountain
Turn 3: Master of the Wild Hunt + land
Turn 4: Mycoloth (devouring Birds and wolf token) + land

After that, it's more or less elementary. A wolf every turn, 4 saprolings, all of them getting 1/1 counters and soon enough 10 health a turn - not to mention you get an extra saproling for each aria counter you get.

Having said that, one Day of Judgement/Wrath of God and your hard work is undone, so I find Eldrazi in the deck is a good idea even though you won't actually get much use out of it until one of your generals die. On the plus side, because you have just so many of them you can guilt-free send saprolings to your generals and hopefully let them live long enough for Aria's win condition to kick in.



In normal play, if you can have one of these out with a Kalonian Behemoth it works pretty well. ... (see all)
