Fleshmad Steed and Inspired

Standard forum

Posted on Jan. 22, 2014, 4:06 p.m. by almerican

I'm wondering if I am the only one who thinks that WotC may have a plan to use Fleshmad Steed and Inspired to make it not such a useless card.

If so there may be a use with the Inspired card, Fleshmad Steed , and Reaper of the Wilds or some other combination of cards

Hopefully I'm not too crazy, this is all just speculation but I would like to know what everyone else in the community thinks

Inspired only functions for the source permanent. Tapping and untapping Fleshmad Steed has no impact on an inspired card.

But if there were inspired cards that required another creature to untap with it or something along those lines

I think he's saying there may be something along the lines of "creatures you control gain inspired - stuff happens" or an aura that gives a creature an inspired function. Think Sublime Archangel .

I hope so, that could be really interesting.

@ EvenDryke : That idea has potential, and yes above and beyond what we have seen so far, slightly more complex in terms of Inspired

maybe an aura that gives the enchanted creature an ability triggered by inspired?

downward spiral

enchantment - aura

inspired - whenever enchanted creature becomes untapped, target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn.

This would actually be sick with Fleshmad Steed , as it could potentially run out of creatures to target and have to kill itself. if they made cards to make Witches' Eye draftable, i could definitely see them doing something to enable the steed. that's an awesome idea.

If there were to be an inspired equivalent of Pontiff of Blight , we could see some combo returning to Standard. It's been too long since combo existed in any real sense in Standard.

We still don't have the black Archetype yet. I think it would likely be a bestow creature with:

Inspired: when this creature untaps it gains intimidate until end of turn.

The Archetypes are all non-bestow creatures with static abilities. I doubt they'd break the cycle.

@ Epochalyptik : This is unrelated, but I think I may have found an infinite combo in Standard for you.

Springleaf Drum + Fellhide Spiritbinder + Burning-Tree Emissary + Kiora's Follower x2 + Illusionist's Bracers x2 for infinite BTEs

or add in Purphoros, God of the Forge for damage

Sorry I was un clear in the way I typed that. What the latter part was supposed to say: "I feel that it would more likely be a bestow creature instead of an Archetype with that ability"

Did I break it? With it being Standard

@ shuflw : That sounds like an awesome idea too

@ blackmarker90 : It looks like we will have to wait until the next set for any of that to happen

But can I ask you both to check on that combo I may have stumbled onto
