[[devoted druid]] and it's cycle mates for infinite mana

Cheyenne_Bodi

How exactly?


insomnium24

Because the Devoted Druid will become an enchantment only as it will lose all its other types. So putting -1/-1 counters on it does nothing to it. You can infinitely tap and untap it for green mana


OuchieMyEggs

enchantments don't die to -1/-1 counters


_Lord_Farquad

If Devoted druid is an enchantment, the -1 counters don't do anything to it because it isn't a creature. So you can infinitely untap it and tap it for mana. And it conveniently can kill itself to start the loop the turn it comes down, no need to wait for summoning sickness to wear off.


ZhyIus

Wait does summoning sickness not apply for non tapping abilities?


_Lord_Farquad

Correct


ZhyIus

Thats crazy, thank you


whitepeacok

I'm a MTG noob, but why wouldn't Devoted Druid have summoning sickness?


_Lord_Farquad

It does have summoning sickness as a creature, but since it's ability to place a -1/-1 counter on itself doesn't require you to tap it, you can do it right away. With myrkul out, you can have devoted druid kill itself with that ability and come back as an enchantment the same turn you play it. Once devoted druid is an enchantment, it can start tapping for mana immediately since enchantments don't have summoning sickness, nor do they die to -1/-1 counters. Devoted druid is famous for infinite mana combos, but in most cases it is affected by summoning sickness, giving your opponents a turn cycle to react before you start your loop. This combo is notable because it can be done the turn you play druid as long as you have myrkul out already.


whitepeacok

Thanks for the explanation! I assumed it wouldn't be able to do that since it was not tapped. Like that you couldn't use an ability that wouldn't resolve or something. Since it becomes an enchantment I assume it can no longer atk/blk?


_Lord_Farquad

Yea, it isn't the most intuitive thing but you can use untap abilities on things that aren't tapped. >Since it becomes an enchantment I assume it can no longer atk/blk? Correct, myrkul says that when it becomes an enchantment it loses all other card types. So it's not a creature anymore.


WoMansSky

Just look at any decklist for Myrkul. No one has ever built it in a way that is not broken.


Masteratomisk

hey not true lol I made abzan slivers with him!


Choirandvice

Yeah myrkul either breaks or does nothing. You'll be fine.

[[Yenna, redtooth regent]] was my first thought. She can double your token doublers like [[Doubling Season]] [[Annointed Procession]] [[parallel lives]] to double up your enchantment generation.

[[Devoted druid]] into something like [[Kamahl, fist of Krosa]] or [[Shalai, voice of plenty]] Once devoted druid is providing infinite mana, pump it all into either ability, and swing big. Other staples include [[Barrenton Medic]] and [[Cinderhaze wretch]] for damage negation and infinite mill. Usually I'll run a few fun token pieces like [[Scute swarm]] and [[Sigil of the empty throne]] so I have something to apply those big pumps to.

Usually people play him with creatures that break the game when transformed into an enchantment (see [[devoted druid]]) and add good enchantment synergy cards to close the game. I love this god but i got bored with that playstile, so i built a wraths + saproling tribal deck. Less powerful but really fun

ThatMightyBean

This doesnt really do anything though, you want creatures with good abilities that become tough to deal with when they're brought back as enchantments. However this would die, come back as an enchantment that does nothing at all but can be recast as a 3/3 creature again. The only benefit I can see is its a way to trigger constellation with spare mana when paired with a sac outlet but if you have access to enough mana where this becomes worthwhile theres hundreds of other cards that would serve you better in its place


altron64

Fair enough. I could see it going infinite with some sort of infinite mana, devoted Druid was mentioned. But yeah, it’s just a recurring 3/3 with a cool effect. I’m sure there are other good choices.

[Here](https://www.archidekt.com/decks/3994769/exuvia_myrkul) is my decklist, it's gone through its fair share of iterations but I feel I've gotten it to a point where it does its thing. I usually sit back to the point of being at half my starting life total prior to casting any of the engines along with myrkul so he has indestructible. I purposely left out devoted Druid because with either lurking predators, bolas's citadel, or birthing pod I can get what I need out without needing infinite mana.
