Based on splintershock, this one really pushes the "Copy-a-Thundermare" combo. You can also copy a
Nova Chaser
just as easily.
When you have a Thundermare in play with a Splinter Twin on it, whenever you tap it, a new Thundermare comes into play, tapping all other creatures...every opponent's turn. This means they will never have an untapped creature to attack you with - just create a Thundermare if they declare an attack phase.
Oh...and then you can swing with whatever you have.
Use any of several ways to untap the Thundermare, and you can do it every turn in multiplayer games. Use a
Twitch
or Cerulean Wisps to untap and thus attack with another creature along with Thundermare when he attacks, oh like say...
Nova Chaser
!!
You can also put Splinter Twin on
Goblin Flectomancer
and effectively cast a
Swerve
repeatedly - as often as he's untapped.
Note that Thundermare has errata that states it's new creature type is "Elemental Horse", so you can use the Harbinger to get him.
Sample game:
Turn One: Flamekin Harbinger for Smokebraider or
Nova Chaser
- whichever one you don't have in hand
Turn Two: Play the Smokebraider
Turn Three:
Nova Chaser
championing Smokebraider
Turn Four: Heat Shimmer the
Nova Chaser
, attack for 20 trample damage!!
