Best ETB Bug creatures?
Deck Help forum
Posted on Nov. 29, 2013, 12:59 a.m. by Grimgrinner
So I'm currently in the process of reworking my The Mimeoplasm EDH deck. One of my favorite things to abuse in it is Deadeye Navigator and the like. Clone creates another ETB too. I'm looking for some of the best creatures to abuse this synergy with. Bonus points if it works well with Tooth and Nail .
So far I'm looking at:
Avenger of Zendikar (works well with craterhoof)
Can you guys think of any other like this?
I'm surprised Primeval Titan is not already on your list.

No worries. It makes sense, with edh having very few banned lands and Prime Time having very little restrictions in what he can bring out. But his buddy Grave Titan is pretty darn good

There are some fun budget cards which have amazing enter the battle field effects like Sphinx of Uthuun , Rotting Rats , Fleshbag Marauder , Sepulchral Primordial , Peregrine Drake , Mulldrifter ]] and Yavimaya Dryad .
If you are willing to spend a bit more the following creatures are pretty good with Deadeye Navigator like Draining Whelk , Snapcaster Mage , Venser, Shaper Savant , Duplicant , Vela the Night-Clad and Chancellor of the Spires .

I thought of a few more enter the battlefield creatures which may be fun, Solemn Simulacrum , Massacre Wurm , Liliana's Specter , Mist Raven , Skinrender , Spawnbroker , Thragtusk , Uktabi Orangutan and Myr Battlesphere .

Shooting down Master of Waves . All the tokens die.
Roon of the Hidden Realm is a better ETB/LTB Commander then The Mimeoplasm is, if that's what you're looking for.

Using deadeye navigator on a master of waves doesn't kill the tokens....

Yes it does Deadeye Navigator exiles Master of Waves . When Master of Waves leaves the battlefield, all the tokens die. When he enters again, they all come back.

I don't think the Tokens die. During an ability or spell resolving there is no check on state-based effects, if I'm not mistaken..

Don't mean to necro the thread unnecessarily, but what's another good blink engine besides Deadeye Navigator in bug? I already run Unsummon with plenty of recursion for it, as well as sac/reanimate repetition. I still feel that it's a bit slow if I can't draw or tutor the navigator.
And yes, Bant (W/u/g) is generally better for blinking. I'm set on bug though.
