Rhys the Exiled

[TK-421]

Well, I saw that all the non-banned generals were taken, so I decided to make one for Rhys in Black/Green. It's obviously an Elf token, with a -1/-1 counter subtheme. It's got the infinite Druid/Spike combo, but it also has a sad Blowfly Infestation/Flourishing Defenses (but it needs a "Whenever a creature ETB" trigger to be good). Ideas?

you cant use rhys the exiled because he breaks his own rules? since his mana cost is G but he has a black symbol? you could get told off by players for using this

[TK-421]

Yes, I realize he breaks the general rules, but it's no different than Bosh or Memnarch. I've also produced a Daughter of Autumn with W/G under the same idea.

I'm about to make Rhys, and your list will help a lot. But no mana ramp? Or mana artifacts? Or good card draw, like Phyrexian Arena
? Maybe look into that.

Good Morning

If you get yourself a Coat of Arms, then with Devoted Druid and Flourishing Defenses (or Presense of Gond), you have yourself an infinite token, infinite power combo.

Enjoy

While Coat of Arms is good with Tribal Synergy, most people at the table hate you because they have to look up the errata'd creature types of all their pre-lorwynn cards. In a 6 player stalled game, one player dropped Coat after about an hour. He was dead by the time he would've been able to swing with it.

[Insert line about this being the 1v1 forum]

Anyway, here's a change I noticed and might be good for you.
