Shame this isn't combat damage.

okay...

Omnath, Locus of Mana + Mage Slayer + Mark of Sakiko (or similar) + Furnace of Rath (or similar)

Omanth is 1/1 and gets +1/+1 for each {G} in your pool (also, {G} doesn't empty from your pool as turns and phases end so that's a huge plus)

Mark of Sakiko: whenever enchanted creature deals damage to player add that much {G} to your mana pool (see where im going with this yet?)

Furnace of Rath: whenever a source would deal damage to a creature or player, it deals twice that much damage.

So... Bring out the Furnace for 4, bring out Omnath for 3, and enchant him with Mark of Sakiko for 2, then attach Mage slayer for 3, and swing, then tap 2 floating {G}... your little, non-intimidating 1/1 Omnath deals a total of 25 damage in a single attack...

so cheap to get out for a properly made R/G deck

So, I have a question, that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere else. During one of my games, I had a 20/23 (or some such power... it was at least 20) Forgotten Ancient. I had equipped him with Mage Slayer and declared him as an attacker. The opponent I was attacking had 20 life, and responded by using Unsummon on my creature.

The game consisted of multiple players, and I'm 100% positive that he would not have used Unsummon if I had attacked another player. So, since the Unsummon was a response to me attacking, would Mage Slayer's effect have triggered (since the creature was attacking) therefore killing my opponent before Unsummon resolved?

I didn't really think about it at the time, so we just went with the fact that my creature was unsummoned, and therefore did no damage. But when I was reading about how the ability triggers during the declare attackers step, I wondered if I would've taken out that player.

Anyway, thanks for your help and responses. :)

Yeah, your opponent died. Your triggered ability went on the stack, then his unsummon went on the stack. His unsummon resolves and your creature goes back to your hand, then your Mageslayer trigger resolves and he dies.
My girlfriend uses this in her Mayael the Anima EDH deck. Whenever she gets this on a Hamletback Goliath, everyone at the table groans.
