This original, evil idea of mine was spawned as soon as I saw the first emerge card spoiled. This deck has many ways to exploit the new mechanic, along with some good old fashioned tricks from the original G/B aristocrats.

This deck has some sick combos with Primal Druid giving Sylvan Advocate some land.

A personal favorite combo of mine is It of the Horrid Swarm + Foul Emissary. For the low low price of 4 you get 2 1/1s, a 3/2, and a 4/4.

Seed Guardian + Emerge is also quite disgusting.

I considered adding Priest of the Blood Rite for emerge purposes, but it's a bit too clunky despite how powerful it can be.

This deck consitantly takes first and second place at my FNM, and it is a complete homebrew.
