Lullmage Mentor

Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization

Anointed Procession

Parallel Lives

How it works

1. Whenever an opponent casts a spell, activate Lullmage Mentor by tapping seven untapped Merfolk, countering that spell.
2. Lullmage Mentor triggers, creating a total of twelve 1/1 Merfolk creature tokens.
3. Repeat.

This spell-locking engine relies on Lullmage Mentor's activated ability to counter an opponent's spell by tapping seven untapped Merfolk you control. Because that very counter ability triggers Lullmage Mentor to spawn a token, a cascade of replacement effects from Anointed Procession, Parallel Lives, and Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation multiplies that single token into a massive army of twelve. This explosion of new Merfolk immediately replenishes your tapped resources, leaving you with plenty of creatures to tap the moment your opponent tries to cast anything else.
