Essence of the Wild: Permanent effect?
Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 10, 2012, 6:48 p.m. by EduardoRossetto
Say I put an Essence of the Wild on field. In the next turn, I cast a Llanowar Elves wich resolves and enters the field as a copy of the Essence of the Wild . At my opponent's turn, he destroys the original essence, with dreadbore or stuff. As that Llanowar Elves is a copy of the Essence of the Wild , does it stay like that? And if I cast another creature while the copy is on the battlefield, does it enter like another copy?
I made a deck based on this creature, you can look at it here: Essence of the Wild Swarm

This is why Pack Rat is so difficult to get rid of, save a Detention Sphere (which is absolutel painful)

Best pairing I've seen with Essence of the Wild is Flayer Husk and other Living Weapon Equipments. Ramp into essence play husk, germ token ETB as 7/7 essence.

The creatures become copies of Essence of the Wild . This means they have all the qualities and abilities of Essence of the Wild , including the ability that causes other creatures to ETB as copies of Essence of the Wild . Even if the original Essence of the Wild leaves the battlefield, any copies that remain will be treated exactly like the original and will continue to apply their replacement effects to any new creatures ETBing under your control.
