"Dauntless Escort flipped from a day of Judgement"
Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you not activate the Escort ability until the Day resolves?
Because day goes on stack, then the lurking predators trigger. They resolve. Lurking predators puts in an escort, board is wiped.
Right?

If you can get this out while you have the advantage, you'll basically win. Since you're in the lead, your oppoment would have to play cards, which in turn, increases your lead.
Then again, this would work only in a big creature deck. On the plus side, it helps cheat in eldrazi cards easily. Getting Emrakul in with this is just awesome.

I'm guessing you're not fully familiar with how spells/the stack works. First, you can never EVER partially resolve a card/ability. You never, let's say, make a card uncounterable with overmaster and then have it exiled by mindbreak trap before drawing a card. Either the card was uncounterable and you drew a card, or neither happened.
Given this, giant spider has either entered the battlefield OR the ability is on the stack. Lucky for you, this gets even better.
Assume the ability is on the stack (the less obvious course of events)
-Your opponent casts a spell
-the ability goes on the stack
-he then naturalizes this, which means he casted a spell
-the ability goes on the stack
-the second ability resolves and puts giant spider into play
-naturalize resolves
-the first ability resolves and puts a terra stomper into play (let's say)
The ability and all of it's conditionals go on the stack and resolve at the same ti... (see all)

Love this with the ol' Top in EDH. Can pretty much make sure there's always a creature on the top of your deck to flip into play with this. Add in something like Kavu Lair if you end up playing a creature with Lurking Predators, and the next card isn't a creature. Just draw it from a fatty coming into play, then top again to reset.

I've been running this for weeks and just now noticed the "you may put that card on the bottom of your library" part. *facepalm*
It's awesome with Cream of teh Crop and Noxious Revival, though.

oracle of mul daya
also darksteel pendant makes it quite tricky.
The card isn't developmental. Its an inadvertent lock-down card.
