    Stone Idol Trap makes token with trample because you can cast it as someone else attacks, then summoning sickness wears off on your upkeep and you get 1 combat step with the 6/12 trampler.

      Aye, @patricks3480 already pointed out that the token is exiled during YOUR NEXT end step and not during THE NEXT end step (which is what I misread). 🙃
      Great for dealing some extra dmg!

    I had been looking for a partner for vialsmasher! This deck looks really fun as long as it makes big mana reliably.

      The Rakdos version of this deck is the original and still one of my favorite decks! Fun for the entire table, I can assure you! 😁

      @mleet3125 Aye, with Krark for maximum chaos! You can find the respective vid and deck list on my channel. Should be called something like „Alternative Cost Tribal“. Enjoy! 🤩

      @CardboardTutor ahh I see. Not sure I'd make that build. My friend has krark/sakashima and it's hilarious watching krark make the deck backfire.

      @mleet3125 haha, it certainly is! I understand that this unreliability and chaos is not for everyone 🤭

    Great Content as always!
    Regarding the traps, does Baloth Cage Trap actually let you draw a card with Gilanra? Since its only 5cmc it should not. And with the Stone Idol Trap you ofc can attack with it if you play the card on your opponents turn since the token gets exiled at the beginning of YOUR next end step not on the next

      Oh lol, yes, my bad! 🤭
      You are correct: The Baloth Cage Trap does not draw me a card, but ofc any other more expensive card for cmc 6 or higher. Just wanted to bring up Gilanra’s draw trigger as soon as possible and forgot that Baloth only costs 5. 🙃
      And in regards to the Stone Idol Trap: reading the card explains the card! Thank you, that makes much more sense. 🤣
      Glad you enjoyed the vid! 😘

      You’re famous now! 😄
      Thanks for the idea! Hope it’s everything you imagined it to be. LMK, if there are any other cards you originally thought to include and I didn’t. 🤗

      Well my vision was mostly using green for cheap ramp color fixing, I’m not sure adding green high cmc “traps “ will make the deck smoother

      I mean less chaos and more ramp should already do a lot, don’t you think? 😄

      Ouhh, nice one! Though there are only five in existence in this color combination, Reforge the Soul and Thunderous Wrath might be worth it to include! 😙👌🏾
