I've always loved this card, but could never really think of a use for it. Then i stumbled upon Shirei, Shizo's caretaker and suddenly saw a huge potential and this is the result:

It is still a work in progress, but Its almost done, i'm just trying to cut a few cards to make it 60, currently 63, and i need to find slots for some other important cards.

But essentially anything creature with 0/0 and counters makes a combo with spike cannibal and Shirei.

I decided to go Black/Green (the majority of spikes are green) and combine them with Bridge from below

So... I play an Animar, Soul of the Elements EDH deck. I just hope my friends never find out about this card.

If I play Spike Cannibal and my opponent has a hydra and a Aether Flash out, does the spike take the two damage before or after he takes all counters out in play?

Just hope your opponent isnt playing undying. On the other hand, play undying. I can also see evolve being decent, since you will get a fatty and be able to retrigger your evolves again, as long as they dont die in the meantime.

There isn't much where having +/+ counters is a bad thing, so this is kinda hard to combo besides the already mentioned interactions like corpsejack.

I suppose it could be considered greedy, (and nobody invites a greedy Cannibal to their birthday parties), but Followed Footsteps, would keep the spoils rolling in from their attempts to rebuild their pathetic, ravished, token empires...
