Kresh the Bloodbraided and Apprentice Necromancer

Deck Help forum

Posted on Oct. 27, 2011, 9:05 p.m. by TenaciousTaurus

So with Kresh the Bloodbraided 's ability being "Whenever another creature is put into a graveyard from play, you may put X +1/+1 counters on Kresh the Bloodbraided, where X is that creature's power." Could i use Apprentice Necromancer 's ability "Sacrifice Apprentice Necromancer: Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. That creature gains haste. At the beginning of the next end step, sacrifice it" to put 1 +1/+1 counter on Kresh then the creature i brought back from the grave have its power also turn into +1/+1 counters for kresh????

Well, the cards do exactly what they say they do. When Apprentice Necromancer is sacrificed to pay the cost for his ability, Kresh the Bloodbraided gets one +1/+1 counter because a 1-power creature died. When you sacrifice the creature you re-animated with Necromancer, Kresh will get +1/+1 counters again, because a creature died again. Is there any particular reason you think this might not work?

Yes. The condition for his trigger is not specified, thus it applies to all other creatures.

Yes, if you were to Doom Blade an opponent's Primeval Titan , Kresh would get six +1/+1 counters.

Cards like Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Minion Reflector are handy with Kresh. Barter in Blood works too.

Kresh, Prince of Blood Hair

It's primarily a casual multiplayer deck, but it might give you some ideas.
