I could see this run in Dinosaur decks. Getting several enrage triggers for (edit: just realized my mistake, that the creatures won't fight). instant speed is great
An unusual commander that can utilize this is Grothama, All-Devouring.

You can also do things like hit your own Stuffy Doll or dinos. And it scales, so it has some benefit for as well. And creatures with infect/wither can use it to weaken indestructible creatures.
True, but I think these are more corner cases. If you're doing RG Dinos with Enrage triggers, you're probably better off with fight cards, since that way you get to remove your opponents creatures AND get a trigger rather than choosing one or the other.hyalopterouslemur wrote: ↑4 years agoYou can also do things like hit your own Stuffy Doll or dinos.

It'll mostly hit utility creatures like mana dorks (but generally not really dangerous ones like Viridian Joiner) and things like Mother of Runes, Waterfront Bouncer, and the like, as well as larger tokens in the 5/5 range or higher. Sometimes that's enough.
Anyone who lets their Mom get stolen is a chump when they can turn her sideways and stop it. But yeah, you're not likely to get much other than a utility critter with this otherwise. I'm actually struggling to think of anything super valuable that you could grab with it. Deathrite Shaman? Viscera Seer could be good, Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, Grand Abolisher, and tokens too I guess if there's any worth grabbing (Marit Lage). Generally though, I think this is just too niche to be worth playing unless you have a hatebear.dec in your meta.hyalopterouslemur wrote: ↑4 years agoIt'll mostly hit utility creatures like mana dorks (but generally not really dangerous ones like Viridian Joiner) and things like Mother of Runes, Waterfront Bouncer, and the like, as well as larger tokens in the 5/5 range or higher.

I love my Chain Lightning invocation. And I'm so happy to have a BB Mind Twist that isn't CE or Beta.toctheyounger wrote: ↑4 years agoAnyone who lets their Mom get stolen is a chump when they can turn her sideways and stop it.

As an aside, those invocation arts do not get any better with time. Not at all a fan.
Yeah, I take it back, some of them do look pretty cool, at least as far as the actual art pieces go. I guess it's the formatting design and font, it's just so ungainly. It just looks so much worse than the Kaladesh masterpieces.
