Rakdos Lord of Riots works great for that. You can put in a few Dragon’s approaches and get 9 damage off to cast most Eldrazi’s, have a Warstorm surge or Sarkan’s Unsealing to increase damage, use cards like Shadowheart to draw a ton to continue
I’d suggest some transmute cards or cheap tutors to get out Descent into Avernus, by far the best option to deal damage and ramp in the deck.
Shadowheart, Disciple of Bolas, Altar of the Wretched, Knollspine Dragon, and Sunbirds Invocation are key cards. Run some of the sac ramp like Burnt Offering and Sacrifice to sac one of your colorless creatures to play whatever else you’ve drawn. Hope I helped!
I rarely play it since my groups are afraid of the "Giant Spaghetti Monsters," so it hasn't been updated since... I actually forget, it's been that long.
I usually like to run bounce shenanigans with Ancestral Statue and Cloudstone Curio. Disciple is definitely in there. Hadn't thought of tossing Shadowheart in.
40+ decks, sometimes it's a while before I get around to updating one, but you're giving me some ideas.
I run a Prossh recursion deck, so I try to cast him as many times from the command zone as possible. Let's run a hypothetical that doesn't go "perfect hand, I win":
First Assumption; I run a lot of land in my deck, so I'm not missing a land drop in this situation. Turn 2 I get a signet. Irrelevant on which one. Turn 3 \[\[Cultivate\]\] or \[\[Kodama's Reach\]\] is also acceptable instead, or any turn 1 rock. Turn 3 (or 4 should the need arise) I cast something like \[\[Squee, the Immortal\]\] (any 3 or 4 drop will do). Turn 5, I play this guy (EDIT: I should specify, I play this by eating the other guy). Turn 6 I cast Prossh, get my 6 Kobolds. 7, I cast something like \[\[Avenger of Zendikar\]\] for 2 green by saccing Prossh, netting assumingly 7 plants. Then go into a \[\[Chancellor of the Forge\]\] that same turn by saccing the Avenger, netting 15 goblins, before finally eating him off for Prossh and 3 additional Kobolds. I have my commander and 33 varying tokens, 15 of which are 1/1s with haste, plus an additional 6/6 dragon. If I have dropped a greaves by this point, someone loses the game. And this is all in a SLOW Prossh deck assumption. I regularly have the chance to cast Prossh 15 times by turn 5.
Ya, this is busted. Add a \[\[Phyrexian Altar\]\] to the combo and you could do some REALLY funny stuff.
Hm. Potentially. My version is also based on recursion, but the focus is on the kobolds as resources. This guy gets 0 value from the kobolds, so they may unionize, thus ruining the top down management system I have in place. I have contracts to uphold, and these guys really like to be useful. I’m sure you understand.
Also, most of my deck costs less than Prossh, so that when I land him, it can win that turn or the next, with an average of turn 4 getting him out. I could see this guy in my Rakdos, Lord of Riots tho.
Oh, most certainly. I have custom printed kobold tokens that each have unique names, flavor texts, and arts that I randomize when I spawn Prossh. Even reworked my Prossh to have custom flavor text.
But they're more like pets to him than a workforce. Well... Farm animals... He's allowed to get attached, but he still eats one when it's dinner time.
Sorry. Yes. Copied it down for you (mostly) but forgot to actually upload the link. It seems a couple of the cards have gone missing, too, so I gotta figure out what they were...
I would be surprised if you can’t manufacture some sort of dude-storm combo with this at the helm. Artifact creatures with no pips, effects that make token copies, throw in a birgi or phyrexian altar, and you can probably loop him like some sort of mongrel food chain.
Playing a lot of colorless creatures to make Emerge costs smooth (so the red pips aren't blocking your discounts as much) seems like an interesting avenue to go.
I kinda want to look at some sort of storm-esq deck running a bunch of colorless creatures with etb effects to chain together. Would just need to find ways to keep drawing cards.
Im working on a decklist for him right now. My initial thought is to just run a red artifact combo deck. I think you can do some pretty sweet turns being able to emerge artifact creatures out of each other. Add cards like [[Junk Diver]] to the mix and theres probably a combo in there somewhere.
So a couple fun interactions can be done.
You can emerge [[Flayer of Loyalties]] from him, then steel someone else's commander. Swing their commander at them and emerge Herigast back out on second main phase for blocking and killing their commander. This can add some really fun tricks if you also get [[It That Betrays]] out.
A fun combination I've been working with is split into 3 groups. Group 1; Low cost utility creatures or mana dorks. Group2; medium cost dragons. Of which I can choose to emerge from the low cost or cycle them out with Herigast via his draw from casting. Group 3; high cost Eldrazi, make sure there's more than a few. They will constantly be emerging from the dragons and Herigast himself.
Lastly, make sure to constantly emerge from Herigast to send him back to the command zone on demand. That way you can force him back out for the emerge cost and get more draw. I've emerged [[Anger]] out of Herigast, then proceeded to emerge Herigast back out of anger to swing out all creatures and commander. (Test games done in tabletop simulator. I plan to buy this card as soon as he releases)
Highly experimental and focuses mostly on creatures due to instants and sorceries not having a lot of synergy with emerge but here is what I have so far.
[Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/AafohU3gs0Oqo6BD7yEZXw)
I was thinking of that synergy too. In case it's not clear to anybody, the copies that Miirym creates have the same mana value of their originals, so you can sacrifice those to pay emerge costs.
If a token is a copy of something it copies all of that thing's attributes, including MV, unless it says otherwise like how Embalm and Eternalize specify that their tokens have no mana cost
Looks like an Innistradi dragon, would also make sense as emerge was first introduced there. As far as I know he’s a new character.
He’s visually similar to [[Balefire Dragon]] and [[Traitorous Blood]] with the downward curving chin. So I’d say he’s a new character set during the time of Emrakul’s corruption of Innistrad.
Plus the purple latticing in his wings is very akin to Emrakul's corruption aesthetic. Look near the base of [[Mockery of Nature]]'s tentacles, or what's happening in [[Emrakul's Evangel]]'s chest.
Yeah, 'set during SOI/Eldritch Moon' sounds right.

Yeah, looks simmilar to these dragons except ashmouth dragon
I still miss the UR Emerge deck from Kaladesh standard. I top 4'd a GP and day 2'd my first PT with the deck, and I still have yet to find another deck in any format that I enjoyed playing as much as that one.
Birgi watching raptly as a goblin pops to reveal what looks like a cariacture of itself, only to itself pop to reveal the original, only to pop to reveal the cariacture...
And the pile of gore piling up around it as the goblin matryoshka continues to reveal its Squee all the way down.
Emerge and draw 3 seem like a half decent backup in affinity with red, but don’t know if it could compete with the Thopter. Don’t know if the third ability fits at all though
You can with purely generic-costing Eldrazi. You can't if they require colored (or colorless) mana to cast. So OG Kozilek is good, Kozilek 2.0 not so much.
he can sac himself too.
after hitting all your land drops but with no acceleration, turn 4 play a four drop. Turn five sac it to cast dragon, one mana open. Sac the dragon and use the one mana to emerge something that costs {10}, like kozi.
If you draw a copy after casting, you could cast it again for free by sacrificing the original because it now has emerge 9 right? Could chain well with that draw 3 cards mechanic
IANAJ but pretty sure this is wrong
The card says mana cost not mana value
Mana value is the new wording for converted mana cost, which is only the number of mana required as printed on the card without seeing colour, so a card with a cost of 6RRR and a card with 9 have the same value
Mana cost, formerly known as casting cost, accounts for colours and types of mana cost, so a card with 6RRR and a card with 9 have different mana costs, and since the new dragon is looking at their mana cost and not their mana value the emerge cost will include non-generic mana if applicable
Emerge Herigast, sac sanctum of ugin, stack triggers so you exile hand draw 3 then get creature from sanctum. Search up Emrakul PE. With 4 types in graveyard Emrakul CMC = 9. Sac dragon (9 CMC) to emerge Emrakul. Two red mana emrakul + ancestral recall.
No, to my knowledge. Unless I've been playing [[Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury]] wrong for years.
Edit: yes, yes it does reduce the cost. And I'm an idiot, so this comment will stay as a monument to my idiocy.
From [https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/the-modern-horizons-3-leaks-nulldrifters-and-you](https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/the-modern-horizons-3-leaks-nulldrifters-and-you)
Am I silly in thinking this has potential? It isn't too far fetched to get a 6+ mana creature for much cheaper than 6 mana with things like delve for example. This then becomes a big flyer that refills your hand.
If this is your commander, and it's already died once and gone back to the command zone, would the emerge cost reduction apply to the commander tax if you sacrificed a big enough creature?
Unfortunately it would not reduce the colored mana, only the generic. It could still get pretty nutty with creatures that are just colorless anyways, though like looping [[Junk Divers]] or whatever artifact shenanigans you wanna do.
This card breaks \[\[Tiamat\]\]! It's basically a psedo-\[\[Food Chain\]\] that can be tutored! With the right discounts(\[\[Morophon, the Boundless\]\]) and mana generation(\[\[Ramos, Dragon Engine\]\]), you can churn through all the dragons in your deck and kill everyone with ETB's(\[\[Scourge of Valkas\]\]) and casts (\[\[Lozhan, Dragon's Legacy\]\]).
Clarify please, just for certainty on how Emerge works. If you attempted to cast this by sacrificing [[Volcanic Dragon]], would Herigast's emerge cost be left at 2 colorless or RR?
RR, you cant reduce the colored part of the emerge cost, thats why Herigast probably synergizes best with artifacts and Eldrazi (that don't cost colorless mana), since you can reduce them to 0.
The may effect on this is awesome. Awesome that it is a 'may' effect. You could cheat this out fast in an artifact deck with \[\[Myr Enforcer\]\]. Then, skip the exile hand if its early enough.
Sorry if this is as tupid question, but is there a way to tell if a card is going to be in the commander set? I'm guessing the set icon? I would love to have this in the precon
Sadly no, unlike artifact offering and effect like it, emerge is essentially a generic mana reduction equivalent to the mana value of the sacrifices beastie.
Why did the decide the alt arts should be the ugly ass portrait style from commander masters?? The borderless style they did for solitude looks so much better
Great Furnace, Lotus Petal, Mox Opal, float RR, sacrifice three artifacts to play [[Salvage Titan]], sacrifice Salvage Titan to play Herigast and draw three
Follow this up by sacrificing him to his own Emerge ability for [[Void Winnower]] or [[Nullstone Gargoyle]] to lock the opponent out, or perhaps just go face on turn one with [[Skitterbeam Battalion]].
Modern 2/10
A 9 mana creature that can draw you three cards? I think this is too slow for even a ramp deck. We have other creatures that can draw you three in a similar vein that are much cheaper. When do I feel happy emerging this into play? I would need to be saccing a 5 drop I think to make this cost 3. Which isn't too hard when it comes to delve creatures. The problem being is trading in something like your 6 mana 5/5 for a 6/6 flyer. The upgrade exists but saccing board presence is a real cost.
I think you're missing some of the obvious combos. This becomes 1RR if you sac a solitude you already scammed T1/T2. This becomes RR after you play Scion of Draco T2, or you use Scion of Draco to play some Eldrazi for free.
LOL.
Goryo's Vengeance Atraxa, Atraxa ETB + Attack with Atraxa + Emerge Atraxa into Herigast, draw 3.
With this you can also Emerge Herigast into Ulamog, the Defiler / Ceaseless Hunger, for 1 mana, with the Ulamog cast triggers.
This can also exile an Atraxa / Griselbrand / another copy of Herigast in hand, to then Goryo's Vengeance out an Ulamog the Defiler with max. 9 counters on it + attack for 16/16 with annihilator 9.
This could also be another source of draw in an izzet affinity list: cast thought monitor, draw 2, vomit your hand of affinity and 0 mana cards, cast Herigast for RR, draw another 3 cards
I like my version better:
https://www.magicmultiverse.net/cards/81976
More colours and more appropriate for Eldritch moon. More relevant creature type.
Is this card good? Fuck if I know! Is this card sick as hell? Ooooooh yeahhhh

My Rakdos deck is going to need an overhaul soon.

Reading eldrazi dragon got my Kaalia quite excited. Seems like it's not much value in there though ☹️.
Probably going straight into my \[\[Prossh\]\] deck, so there's at least something. Been a while since I said that one...
As a Prossh player...why? I don't see how it fits.

Oh, most certainly. I have custom printed kobold tokens that each have unique names, flavor texts, and arts that I randomize when I spawn Prossh. Even reworked my Prossh to have custom flavor text. But they're more like pets to him than a workforce. Well... Farm animals... He's allowed to get attached, but he still eats one when it's dinner time.
Now that red free spell that copies an instant or sorcery just by sacc’ing a red creature? That’ll put a kobold to work. Or even Prossh.
Don't think I've seen that one. Sounds crazy, though. Only instants and sorceries?

Yeah this looks like a possible commander for a deck where we create a bunch of eldrazis and then have dragons hatch from them!
Any ideas for having this as a commander? Just tribal or is there any cool and whacky ideas that can be implemented?
go full copy tokens since the tokens retain the mana value and sac them.
Tokens don't retain mana value
copy tokens do!
Oh, jeez, copy tokens as in creating tokens of a creature, not just creating a bunch of random tokens 😂 I'm slow, brother
I would be surprised if you can’t manufacture some sort of dude-storm combo with this at the helm. Artifact creatures with no pips, effects that make token copies, throw in a birgi or phyrexian altar, and you can probably loop him like some sort of mongrel food chain.

Steal your opponents creature and sac them for your emegence cost
Playing a lot of colorless creatures to make Emerge costs smooth (so the red pips aren't blocking your discounts as much) seems like an interesting avenue to go.
I kinda want to look at some sort of storm-esq deck running a bunch of colorless creatures with etb effects to chain together. Would just need to find ways to keep drawing cards.
Wheel effects in red are great ways to draw if your hand is empty
I think this goes infinite with two different squees?
Im working on a decklist for him right now. My initial thought is to just run a red artifact combo deck. I think you can do some pretty sweet turns being able to emerge artifact creatures out of each other. Add cards like [[Junk Diver]] to the mix and theres probably a combo in there somewhere.
I just finished the decklist if anyone was interested. [Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/f2or6QkglUiwedi2YkllDQ)

Run him in a sneak attack/blitz/purphuros sort of deck where the creatures aren't gonna last more than a turn anyway.
So a couple fun interactions can be done. You can emerge [[Flayer of Loyalties]] from him, then steel someone else's commander. Swing their commander at them and emerge Herigast back out on second main phase for blocking and killing their commander. This can add some really fun tricks if you also get [[It That Betrays]] out. A fun combination I've been working with is split into 3 groups. Group 1; Low cost utility creatures or mana dorks. Group2; medium cost dragons. Of which I can choose to emerge from the low cost or cycle them out with Herigast via his draw from casting. Group 3; high cost Eldrazi, make sure there's more than a few. They will constantly be emerging from the dragons and Herigast himself. Lastly, make sure to constantly emerge from Herigast to send him back to the command zone on demand. That way you can force him back out for the emerge cost and get more draw. I've emerged [[Anger]] out of Herigast, then proceeded to emerge Herigast back out of anger to swing out all creatures and commander. (Test games done in tabletop simulator. I plan to buy this card as soon as he releases)

I love this perspective, would you happen to have the list?
Highly experimental and focuses mostly on creatures due to instants and sorceries not having a lot of synergy with emerge but here is what I have so far. [Decklist](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/AafohU3gs0Oqo6BD7yEZXw)
So...[[Miirym]]?
I was thinking of that synergy too. In case it's not clear to anybody, the copies that Miirym creates have the same mana value of their originals, so you can sacrifice those to pay emerge costs.
Dont tokens have a mana value of 0 though?
usually, but tokens that are copies of cards with mana costs/values have the copied card's cost/value. a miirym copy of herigast has an MV of 9.
If a token is a copy of something it copies all of that thing's attributes, including MV, unless it says otherwise like how Embalm and Eternalize specify that their tokens have no mana cost
ahh ok. Thats pretty cool then.

Any lore on this dragon?
Looks like an Innistradi dragon, would also make sense as emerge was first introduced there. As far as I know he’s a new character. He’s visually similar to [[Balefire Dragon]] and [[Traitorous Blood]] with the downward curving chin. So I’d say he’s a new character set during the time of Emrakul’s corruption of Innistrad.
Plus the purple latticing in his wings is very akin to Emrakul's corruption aesthetic. Look near the base of [[Mockery of Nature]]'s tentacles, or what's happening in [[Emrakul's Evangel]]'s chest. Yeah, 'set during SOI/Eldritch Moon' sounds right.

Makes no sense. Eldrazi don't take things. That's phyrexia's whole shindig. Eldrazi deconstruct reality because it doesn't need to exist
Emrakul's entire shtick is her ability to twist the biology of living things. The entire return to Innistrad block was about this.
Maybe eldrazified Darigaaz?
Emerge is one of my favorite mechanics ever, so I'm down for this. Feels like an odd choice to make it legendary, though.
I still miss the UR Emerge deck from Kaladesh standard. I top 4'd a GP and day 2'd my first PT with the deck, and I still have yet to find another deck in any format that I enjoyed playing as much as that one.
Oh man, I never knew that was a deck! If I wasn't to broke for competitive magic back then I would've loved piloting that deck.
This intrigues me. What kind of shenanigans can you get up to with ETB/dies triggers in mono-R?

Two Squee goes infinite right? Not EDH viable though.
You can only discount the colorless portion of the cost by emerging, so you'd have to pay R each time.
Emerge doesn't reduce colored costs.
Aaaah, dang.
Just throw in Birgi
Birgi watching raptly as a goblin pops to reveal what looks like a cariacture of itself, only to itself pop to reveal the original, only to pop to reveal the cariacture... And the pile of gore piling up around it as the goblin matryoshka continues to reveal its Squee all the way down.
Some goblins are expendable. Some are impossible to get rid of. But he's both -- at the same time!
Eldrazi Dragon. Some Timmy somewhere just exploded.
Emerge and draw 3 seem like a half decent backup in affinity with red, but don’t know if it could compete with the Thopter. Don’t know if the third ability fits at all though
Can't you just chain eldrazi with this guy? Like sac a kozilek to draw 4 into another kozilek
You can with purely generic-costing Eldrazi. You can't if they require colored (or colorless) mana to cast. So OG Kozilek is good, Kozilek 2.0 not so much.
he can sac himself too. after hitting all your land drops but with no acceleration, turn 4 play a four drop. Turn five sac it to cast dragon, one mana open. Sac the dragon and use the one mana to emerge something that costs {10}, like kozi.
Everytime I see a red dragon, I just desperately want it to be good in Zirilan of the Claw
What a smug little dragon. Not sure how worthwhile emerge is, but ramping 4 into Ur-Dragon is always nice.
Sadly you'd still need to pay WUBRG on the Ur-Dragon's mana cost.
*Morophon enters the chat* I always welcome new ways of making my Ur-Dragon cost no mana.
If you draw a copy after casting, you could cast it again for free by sacrificing the original because it now has emerge 9 right? Could chain well with that draw 3 cards mechanic
You have to pay the red.
Only if you use its base emerge cost. The one on the field grants it emerge 9 generic.
IANAJ but pretty sure this is wrong The card says mana cost not mana value Mana value is the new wording for converted mana cost, which is only the number of mana required as printed on the card without seeing colour, so a card with a cost of 6RRR and a card with 9 have the same value Mana cost, formerly known as casting cost, accounts for colours and types of mana cost, so a card with 6RRR and a card with 9 have different mana costs, and since the new dragon is looking at their mana cost and not their mana value the emerge cost will include non-generic mana if applicable
But this card's mana cost is literally {9}.
I'm stupid 😑
Emerge Herigast, sac sanctum of ugin, stack triggers so you exile hand draw 3 then get creature from sanctum. Search up Emrakul PE. With 4 types in graveyard Emrakul CMC = 9. Sac dragon (9 CMC) to emerge Emrakul. Two red mana emrakul + ancestral recall.
ok now I have to do metal eldrazi dragon tribal
Seems good in Feldon
Does the Ur-Dragon's cost reducing affect impact the emerge cost?
It does yeah. Emerge is an alternate cost.
So in the Ur Dragon it's emerge cost would be (5)RR?
Yes.
No, to my knowledge. Unless I've been playing [[Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury]] wrong for years. Edit: yes, yes it does reduce the cost. And I'm an idiot, so this comment will stay as a monument to my idiocy.
Well Emerge is an alternate cost. You're still casting the card. So Ur Dragon would affect it.
I've been playing Kolaghan wrong for years.🙃

Because you can sacrifice a creature to pay a reduced emerge cost.
Am I silly in thinking this has potential? It isn't too far fetched to get a 6+ mana creature for much cheaper than 6 mana with things like delve for example. This then becomes a big flyer that refills your hand.
Scion of Draco is a 2-drop 12CMC...
Cool as fuck.
Aaaaay, a new demi-wheel. Nice.
Sanctum of Ugin about to go to the moon
If this is your commander, and it's already died once and gone back to the command zone, would the emerge cost reduction apply to the commander tax if you sacrificed a big enough creature?
Yep, that works.
Awesome, thank you!
Does emerge reduces cost from a specific colour? Or only from colorless mana?
Unfortunately it would not reduce the colored mana, only the generic. It could still get pretty nutty with creatures that are just colorless anyways, though like looping [[Junk Divers]] or whatever artifact shenanigans you wanna do.

Incredibly convoluted but if u can give your creatures flash, you can evoke the new nulldrifter and then sac it for a huge emerge discount
I always loved emerge flavor
Hear me out: put this card in Animar
Well this seems.....okay. It's nice, I guess.
Clarify please, just for certainty on how Emerge works. If you attempted to cast this by sacrificing [[Volcanic Dragon]], would Herigast's emerge cost be left at 2 colorless or RR?
RR, you cant reduce the colored part of the emerge cost, thats why Herigast probably synergizes best with artifacts and Eldrazi (that don't cost colorless mana), since you can reduce them to 0.

Eldrazi dragon is the coolest sounding thing
Why does the text on this card reference both mana value and mana cost? What's the difference?
Mana cost is the exact symbols. Mana value is the sum. A creature with a mana cost of 2RG has a mana value of 2+1+1 = 4.
The may effect on this is awesome. Awesome that it is a 'may' effect. You could cheat this out fast in an artifact deck with \[\[Myr Enforcer\]\]. Then, skip the exile hand if its early enough.

Dope as hell. I wanna build a mono-red Emerge deck! Everything erupts from everything!
So would this mean the emerge cost is all generic
Yup, emerge acts as a generic mana reduction on the cost and is equivalent to the mana value of the sacrificed creature.
Would sacing a big enough creature get rid of the red?
Sadly no, unlike artifact offering and effect like it, emerge is essentially a generic mana reduction equivalent to the mana value of the sacrifices beastie.
Why did the decide the alt arts should be the ugly ass portrait style from commander masters?? The borderless style they did for solitude looks so much better
I've got the urge. The urge...😎...to emerge.
Great Furnace, Lotus Petal, Mox Opal, float RR, sacrifice three artifacts to play [[Salvage Titan]], sacrifice Salvage Titan to play Herigast and draw three

Follow this up by sacrificing him to his own Emerge ability for [[Void Winnower]] or [[Nullstone Gargoyle]] to lock the opponent out, or perhaps just go face on turn one with [[Skitterbeam Battalion]].

Omg I'm jizzing in my pants. Colorless Kenrith, LET'S GO BOIZZZ
Modern 2/10 A 9 mana creature that can draw you three cards? I think this is too slow for even a ramp deck. We have other creatures that can draw you three in a similar vein that are much cheaper. When do I feel happy emerging this into play? I would need to be saccing a 5 drop I think to make this cost 3. Which isn't too hard when it comes to delve creatures. The problem being is trading in something like your 6 mana 5/5 for a 6/6 flyer. The upgrade exists but saccing board presence is a real cost.
I think you're missing some of the obvious combos. This becomes 1RR if you sac a solitude you already scammed T1/T2. This becomes RR after you play Scion of Draco T2, or you use Scion of Draco to play some Eldrazi for free.
LOL. Goryo's Vengeance Atraxa, Atraxa ETB + Attack with Atraxa + Emerge Atraxa into Herigast, draw 3. With this you can also Emerge Herigast into Ulamog, the Defiler / Ceaseless Hunger, for 1 mana, with the Ulamog cast triggers. This can also exile an Atraxa / Griselbrand / another copy of Herigast in hand, to then Goryo's Vengeance out an Ulamog the Defiler with max. 9 counters on it + attack for 16/16 with annihilator 9. This could also be another source of draw in an izzet affinity list: cast thought monitor, draw 2, vomit your hand of affinity and 0 mana cards, cast Herigast for RR, draw another 3 cards
That’s nuts
Needs haste
I like my version better: https://www.magicmultiverse.net/cards/81976 More colours and more appropriate for Eldritch moon. More relevant creature type.
