My bad, I misremembered it being until end of turn- shows how long since I last played it.
The Faerie Conclave fits better with what I have in mind although a bit weak- the evasion ability is nice There's also Darksteel Brute - very similar to Arconite Dragonling but with the added bonus of being indestructible.

Stalking stones isn't a one-shot. It can be turned into a creature everytime you pay 6 mana, turn after turn.
& you seem to be missing that the card is played in COUNTER-burn. If you don't have a ways of stopping 95% of land removal, then the decks built wrong.

your mean this card right?

The artifact creature that's still a land?

Meaning if they have artifact removal OR creature removal OR land removal OR direct damage OR big blockers OR AoE they could kill?

The one shot effect of once you activate it it doesn't stop being a creature?

Or were you thinking about this instead... because that card produces creatures every turn. However it isn't in the right color. What about this land? Because it fits your description better, plus its blue. The red one doesn't work as well because it has no evasion.

Doesn't really do the same thing
Need something that can be repetitively turned into a creature rather than a one-off effect. A quest or Location would be ideal as there's fewer ways of dealing with it (although against that is Skumm being played a lot at the moment)

Actually, Are We There Yeti is a superior card to Stalking stones because when stalking stones got nuked by removal, you lost the land too. They were both one time effects, but Are We There Yeti needs as much as three removal spells to kill the tokens.

started fooling around with a counter control that uses (merrick obv) ally control theme and supernova ftw.....its not that bad...

flickers to get back conj cin roll, blizz, invo and sit on my butt and when the resources are enough, supernova ftw. yuh i know, its weak at this stage, but i killed a guy on mws with a 13 point super nova the other night :P

1999699:
I think Mage is the right place to start & possibly Undead for Cannibalize usage or Belf for Solanian's
I was looking for a Stalking Stones equivalent- all I can think of off the top of my head is Arcanite Dragonling...but that's slightly too vulnerable

*cough* Are We There Yeti *Cough*

Also, if you choose undead, you can use BOTH Cannibalize AND Undercity for healing madness :)

A resilient nuke+counter heavy Mage deck that plans on dropping its win condition around turns 15-20, that's what I'd like to call ehpihc.

Twinblade of the Phoenix

I'm just saying.
im sure there is a point to that post, but i dont get it.

I was attempting to imply that it Twinblade of the Phoenix could be the Shard Pheonix / Hammer of Bogandaran / Frentic Efreet of your UR WoW deck. I was also attempting to suggest that since Warrior already has burn and interrupts up the wazoo, that maybe you could start from there.

Maybe I should have been less subtle...

no no, i understand where you are going, but i dont see that warrior has a superior amount of "counters" when compared to mage including all the aoe that mages have.

Ah- that version.
Yes, I did see a couple of cards & think about the Efreet & phasing. I don't think it can quite be done well enough yet

much older, like mirage era. the "golden age" of magic.

those lists DO help somewhat though.

back to the drawing board.......not i think it had a creature called....frentic efreet?
