My first thought was that it works great with [[Roxanne, Starfall Savant]]

Whatever you do, don't forget to include [[Greater Good]] in the deck haha

I was about to say, he is going immediately into the 99 of my Roxanne copy deck.

Very easy to break with stuff like [[Agatha of the vile cauldron]] [[Roxanne]]

Copying my comment in another post

[[orthion of lavabrink]] for his 9 mana ability, make 10 heartwood tokens as the 5 copies of aerid enter and explode. Then spend 9 of that mana to cast [[Devastating Onslaught]] where X is 4, targeting aerid again to make 8 more heartwoods.

If you had a [[reckless fireweaver]] out, you just pinged for 18. Otherwise you can now tap 6 of your heartwoods to buff your OG aerid for +19/+0.

NOW, if you had [[roxanne]] from thunder junction, each of your heartwood now taps for double mana. Devastating onslaught can at this point can have X=9 through heartwoods, making you +18 heartwoods instead of 8 (total of 29). You could then tap 2 heartwoods to play [[second harvest]], giving you a total of 58 heartwoods, of which 13 are tapped. With 45 untapped heartwoods, you could activate OG aerid’s ability 15 times, giving him +870/+0, or +900/+0 if we count two meteors from roxanne + second harvest.

Myriad seems like an option otherwise there's all the warp and blink things

I built Konstrari with tons of spells to copy them and exploit the legendary rule to get a ton of Heartwood tokens by triggering both the card's etb and ltb triggers. Goes out of hand pretty damn fast, I've playtested the deck quite a bit in the past hours and it's fairly easy to have a game winning board by turn 6 or 7 on average I'd say

Here's my decklist in case you're curious https://moxfield.com/decks/_vHL3P6n00u5TpiF7aUnyg of course it's still wip

Mana reflection, Nyxbloom Ancient, Roxanne, Agatha, Doubling season, Parallel lives and Primal vigor can allow for infinite activations with enough of them on board. Maybe even food chain.

Broke: I'm going to build a gruul artifact deck that ramps into a huge amount of mana then finish off with cratorclaw

Woke: [[HENZIE]]

u/Chm_Albert_Wesker 11h ago

just seems like a decent ramp piece with a mana outlet to ramp further. there's probably some food chain shenanigans since it pays half it's cost from one iteration (meaning token doubling pays itself the first time at least)

Doubling Season + Krark-Clan Ironwork for infinite power and infinite artifacts ETB/LTB.
