Its a card that is extremely strong when in the development stages of the game, but may do little to nothing while behind, and will do nothing when ahead. If the correct requirements aren't met (Selvala is in play, LP is your biggest creature on board, LP is the biggest creature on the entire board), it quickly starts to lose value. The floor on Lupine Prototype is doing nothing. I think its fair for the CZ to be concerned about Lupine Prototype, especially in less optimized decks, because of how low the floor is. selvala is almost an auto include in any edh deck.I'm going to ignore your 'custom card' because its so different/stronger from Lupine Prototype it isn't really comparable. Having a creature of power 4 or greater, prior to starting the interaction, works faster. Selvala herself works perfectly fine here. So spend g to activate Selvala adding 4 mana and the infinite mana engine starts.ĭid I miss something? Did you say you need a creature of power 4 BEFORE the first tapping of Selvala? You should have 1 g mana (third) still available. Pay (second) 1 additional g to untap Selvala by the mantle giving +2/+2 to Selvala. Once Selvala is equipped, pay first g for tapping Selvala and add 2 mana. So I assume that 3 mana from lands are available. This includes Selvala herself, which means that after the first activation of umbral mantle, you should be able to go infinite if you have one to two more green mana available. That simple.Īs long as you control a creature with power greater than 4, you will generate infinite mana. Play both cards, then equip mantle to Selvala. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is a stand in for Selvala, Heart of the Wilds (CN2, Mythic Rare).
