[CON] Court Homunculus

Credendo · 01-07-2009, 08:26 AM

Sent a private message to zesty to request information about my favorite little creature from Alara, the Homunculus. In the spirit of the zesty team, here is hopefully a simple puzzle.

Start with a Kird Ape, cast Niveous Wisps and Alter Reality and change forest to artifact (bear with me I know it doesn't work that way but damn it It's to early to think) lastly give the ability -0/-1 and untap it.

And you get....

Court Homunculus

Will update the post once it gets solved.

EDIT: Well that was quick and yeah I forgot about the card draw on nevious wisps. Caffeine hasn't hit yet.

Court Homunculus

Artifact Creature - Homunculus (C)
Court homunculus gets +1/+1 if you control another artifact.
1/1

mightygerm · 01-07-2009, 08:28 AM

W
Artifact creature - homounculus
~ gets +1/+1 as long as you control an artifact.
1/1

Guinea Pig · 01-07-2009, 08:31 AM

That should be "another artifact", shouldn't it? The Court Homunculus is already an artifact itself.

**Phyrre56** · 01-07-2009, 08:31 AM

It must be "another artifact," or else it would always activate itself, making it a common non-Legendary Isamaru, Hound of Konda.

Flaming.Fist · 01-07-2009, 08:33 AM

But where did the card draw go? :P
I think it is:

Court Homunculus W
Creature - Homunculus Common/unc
~ gets +1/+1 as long as you control an artifact.
1/1

ImAChampion · 01-07-2009, 08:34 AM

Kird Ape = 1/1
Add Niveous Wisps = 1/1 and tapped.
Alter Reality = Artifact instead of Forest
Give -0/-1 and untap = 1/1

Court Homunculus

Creature
If you control an Artifact Court Homunculus gets +1/+1.

1/1

Thats ok for limited.
Dunno about constructed,maybe esper aggro

Excise · 01-07-2009, 08:53 AM

Thanks for the info! This is a great common that will appeal to casual, players, but also fill out an aggro Esper deck, shaping up with Esperzoa. Just don't play Puppet Conjurer!

I think that this might be the correct form but you need to have card draw in there so possibly
-when ~ comes into play if you control an artifact draw a card?

TheSIN · 01-07-2009, 09:07 AM

I like it in limited.

Dr.Awesome · 01-07-2009, 09:13 AM

With this and Esperzoa, maybe WotC is pushing Esper Aggro?

Huaojozu · 01-07-2009, 09:14 AM

This is Isamaru as long as you have a two-drop should Esper aggro emerge. Me likey.

RafaelK · 01-07-2009, 09:17 AM

Yay, an Esper one-drop.

Not sure if it is constructed-worthy, though.

I guess thats easy because in esper deck you could have 4x capsules,4x scullers(mostly this),4x sculptors.

Dr.Awesome · 01-07-2009, 09:25 AM

Even better in Extended with the Artifact lands, but it's probably too fragile to support a whole deck archetype.
