Oops, completely missed the Cloudstone Curio combo. :P

Hi NV_1980!

I just realized that Radiate might be pretty good card in this deck. It is basically another Resurrection when combined with one of your steal spells or it can be a really cool combo with Rite of Replication! :D

Hi Sheld,

I think you meant to say that Radiate could be another Insurrection if combined with steal spells. Not really. I could combine it with some other stealing spells but at most it would be like another form of Blatant Thievery; not another insurrection.

My main concern however, is that you need a massive amount of available mana for the combo to pay off really well. I could for instance use Radiate to copy my cheapest steal spell Traitorous Blood. It would be the same effect as Blatant Thievery, except it would cost eight mana (instead of Blatant's 7), I wasn't allowed to keep the creatures stolen and the creatures stolen would have trample.

It's a nice idea but I'm not going to use it.

Yes I meant it would be like Insurrection. But I don't think you realize how the spell works. If you cast Traitorous Blood and then you target it with Radiate, a copy of Traitorous Blood will be put on stack for EACH creature it could target. That means that you will steal every creature of every player so it is the same as Insurrection.

And when combined with Rite of Replication it will make a copy of every creature of every player (including you) and if you kick Rite of Replication it will make 5 copies of every creature instead.

You're right, I misread. I'll give this some thought.

I'm working on a 60-card Casual deck based on things like Willbreaker , Act of Treason , Fling , and Ashnod's Altar , etc. Some good ideas in here.
