Funny kill spell combo

Standard forum

Start with Skullcrack then hit them with Devour Flesh . Its nothing more than an interesting thought I had just now. Makes Devour Flesh look better. Would be better if Devour Flesh was target creature.

Well..technically you want to cast Devour Flesh first and then cast Skullcrack but yeah, that removes some of the drawback. Put one on an Isochron Scepter so you've got it available whenever you have the other.

Well you can do better than that if we are talking modern with Isochron Scepter . Might as well just run Doom Blade or Go for the Throat or what ever else. A severally limited format like Standard would be where those 2 cards would be at there best together, but even then you could just run Murder for one more mana and void the extra cards all together.

Yeah, but if you're running say...Duskmantle Seer burn, the tech could be useful, if you're running the cards anyway.

Yeah that would save you from Duskmantle Seer a little bit at least. If your running a deck that wants to cast a lot of spells like the ones that will soon pop up around...

...making Grixis look even better for the future

Eh, two spells to get rid of one creature?

I'd rather just play murder.

Or better yet, Dreadbore

Especially since you can't target with Devour Flesh

Oo, or pair Skullcrack with Alms Beast !

See...now you're thinking. I don't like Murder . I'm going to go on record saying my standard for removal is higher than that. I'd rather run conditional removal than telegraph a Murder for people to read.

Yeah it all works. Alms Beast is a funny idea!And the idea of the post isnt that its 2 spells to get rid of one creature, but Devour Flesh is great by itself for early game weenies. Later game when you need to get rid of the big stuff, comboing those 2 cards makes it a pretty nifty non target kill spell for what its worth. And really the thought behind the deck that would run this wants to cast as mana spells as possible Grixis Aggro fo realz...My very basic idea around the card I posted above.
