    If you have two squirrels tokens
    chatterfang pitiless plunder also makes infinite mana. Sac one squirrel targeting the other token both die so two treasure and two new squirrels, use the ability again using one treasure get two more treasure. Lots of clicks but essentially game winning with cards in hand.

      You can just sac both squirrels at once to Chatterfang's ability. No need to use one to kill the other.

      @@snakeman830 no, you need to sac a squirrel to use the ability. if you sac both at once the ability has no target unless you target one of your actual creatures, in which case the combo is no longer infinite.

      @@poiri no,
      to activate an ability per the rules you select the targets before you pay the cost. so you give target squirrel token -1/-1 and later to pay for the ability sac the same token (+ a second one).
      The ability fizzles due to no legal targets but you still sacced your 2 tokens and get 2 treasures and 2 new tokens.
      The only thing this does is reduce clicks tho, afaik as i can tell, so only purpose is for arena?

      @@poiri if you have full control or you're playing in paper, you should be able to activate the ability on the same creature an infinite amount of times without letting a single instance resolve. After all, the activated ability is put on the stack first and the plunderer and chatterfang triggers are put on top of the activated ability.

    Super cool deck. Love your work @saffronolive!
    1 missed interaction though: with plunderer/chatterfang, if you sac 2 or more squirrels instead of 1 you actually get infinite mana, instead of just breaking even on mana, you can also hold priority instead of waiting for the ability to resolve, because Plunderer works when it’s sacked and not when the ability resolves, so you can do it infinitely even if the opponent only have just 1 small creature…

  • @sushii2024
    @sushii2024 3 года назад +1

    I play chatterfang in historic brawl. Pro tip, if your opponent has no creatures to target with chatterfang you can target the squirrel token you will sac to chatterfangs ability to keep getting death triggers for plunderer instead of targeting your other creatures since the target happens before needing to sac for the cost.

    The final match you kept thoutsieze in hand knowing there were counterspells coming, and instead of using it to weed out the counter spell, you decided to dump all your mana into the one thing you could cast for the turn, ensuring it would get countered. Thoutsieze isn't just a turn 1 only play. It's especially useful when your opponent is running "counter or pay x" spells, since it has such a low cost. You gave up that game and that was very disappointing.
