You are confused because the Stinging Licid is not used to tap Aphetto Alechemist. Stinging Licid is use to enchant Aphetto Alchemist so that when Aphetto Alchemist uses its tap ability to untap itself (Aphetto Alchemist) the Sting Licid will do 2 points damage to you.How combo works1. After casting Stinging Licid pay 1U to Enchant Aphetto Alchemist with Stinging Licid now if Aphetto Alchemist taps the Stinging Licid will do 2 points damage to you.2. Use Aphetto's Alchemist's tap ability to untap itself; this untapping can be done infinite number of times. (Yes Aphetto Alchemist can do this so can Seeker of Skybreak), but don't do this infinite number of times you will kill yourself. Instead just tap and untap enough times for Stinging Licid to do 18 damage to you then3. Use Simulacrum to transfer all damage to Mogg Maniac and have it redirect the damage to opponent4. Use lightning bolt to finish opponent.

Giving you a like because of how the play description is far superior to what I and most vault members do.It hard to judge EDH decks for improvements you seem to have enough mana ramping, board wipes, spot removal, and handy utility cards, and you have a good mixture of powerful low to medium casting creatures, since you are deliberately avoiding adding any "I win" combos I don't have much to say other than Living Death or Twilight's Call might be handy in your deck. Good work and may you always make your own good luck.
I've been playing around with Pia's Revolution in an artifact deck and I sense that Pia's Revolution might be of some use in your deck.My Pia's Revolution deck is at http://www.mtgvault.com/planestalker/decks/heartless-revolution-deck/.
Interesting deck. Seems pretty solid except it lacks artifact and enchantment removal (I'm not counting the Negate in sideboard).Tishna, voice of Tunder probably is too high a mana cost for competive standard, but would work in an EDH merfolk deck.Can't help but feel deck might be better if you included some instants like Censor, Heroic Intervention, Perilous Voyage, and especially River Heralds' Boon. That way you could put in Deeproot Champion which I consider the best new Merfolk to work with Herald of Secret Streams.
If you have any other more efficient way of doing damage in a B/U deck, please tell me.Misery Charm EnglishInstant, B (1)Choose one —• Destroy target Cleric.• Return target Cleric card from your graveyard to your hand.• Target player loses 2 life.Liliana's Indignation EnglishSorcery, XB (1)Put the top X cards of your library into your graveyard. Target player loses 2 life for each creature card put into your graveyard this way.
Turn to Frog works just fine it provides a temporary lose of ability. You just need to use its ability first put on the stack and then do turn to frog. Turn to frog causes the creature to lose its abilities, but if you activate the ability first, it is already on the stack, so when it goes to resolve, it will look at the creature and see that it is a 1/1For more clarity the stack looks like this:TopTurn to FrogTree ActivationBottomWhen turn to frog resolves, the tree becomes a 1/1 blue frog with no abilities but the activation is still on the stack, so it will resolve seeing the tree as a 1/1 blue frog and swap its toughness with your opponent's life total.Turn to Frog EnglishInstant, 1U (2)Until end of turn, target creature loses all abilities and becomes a blue Frog with base power and toughness 1/1.further clarification:taken from http://tappedout.net/mtg-questions/tree-of-perdition-and-turn-to-frog/Tree of Perdition and Turn to FrogAsked by Renaud 1 year agoMy opponent is at 20I activate Tree of Perdition's ability, hold priority, and cast Turn to Frog targeting my Tree.My opponent goes to 1 life, and my Tree is a 1/20What happens after my turn?Does my Tree become a 0/13? 0/32? something else?It will become a 0/20. The rules use timestamps to determine this (note that timestamps care about order of resolution, with the latest being be the one that is shown).
Nice deck.Turn to Frog might be of better use than Sorceress Queen.Bump in the night needs red mana to flash back might want to add some though I realize you are hoping it won't be countered and therefore may win game if opponent's life exchanged with to 0/2 or 1/1 creature.
You asked me about my infinite life, infinite cards, infinite creatures that are infinitely large, etc...Here is a link to my old aluren deck as best as I can remember that can do all things I said it could do.http://www.mtgvault.com/planestalker/decks/go-infinite-deck/

The rules use timestamps to determine this (note that timestamps care about order of resolution, with the latest being be the one that is shown).For the Power:The only thing affecting the power it Turn to Frog, the duration of which is until the end of your turn. At this point, the effect ends and the toughness goes back to the previous 'timestamp,' which is the original power in this case.For the Toughness: You have a 13 Toughness creature to start. You place a timestamp with TtF making the Toughness 1. After that (in terms of resolution), you have Tree's ability setting the toughness to 20. When the end of the turn rolls around, the duration of TtF ends, but it does not have the latest timestamp, so it has no effect on the Tree. Tree's ability does not have a duration, so it will continue to affect its tounghess until something new affects it.Hope this answered your question. If not, feel free to ask about anything that confuses you :)August 5, 2016 11:09 p.m.
I think you asked me about my infinite life, infinite cards, infinite creatures that are infinitely large, etc...Here is a link to my old aluren deck as best as I can remember that can do all things I said it could do.http://www.mtgvault.com/planestalker/decks/go-infinite-deck/
Make it Vintage Legal and I'll like it. Once I made a deck that could put my whole library in hand by turn three, made infinite mana, infinite turns, could exile all opponent's cards from game, bring infinite cards from outside game into play and make infinite copies of coat of arms to make infinite number of my creatures infinitely large and it was extended legal.
This is the type of deck I love to make and play. Just yesterday I was pondering how to make a commander deck like this but without Griselbrand because he is banned in commander. Wondering how my play group will respond to multiple Shadowborn Disciples and wondering if will allow it like my relentess rats deck. Adding Westvale Abbey to deck might be fun.
Hi camtheman,Like the deck. Looked at your other decks and see you like to make combo decks like mine if you ever feel like you need some inspiration feel free to look at my stuff you seem to like to make fun budget casual decks like I do.
Liliana's Caress might be wicked.
Hey now its value is over $800. Prices are going crazy magic card speculators have driven the cost of the game out of the reach of the typical gamer. I expect Wizard of the Coast (controlled by Hasbro ) will have to start reprinting cards or legacy and vintage games will never be played with real cards again again only online tourney's will be possible.
I seem to be missing something your pestermite doesn't seem to be able to bounce itself back into hand perhaps your deck needs cloud of faeries and equilibrium?
Title hooked me. The deck is nicely built accept Fable of Wolf and Owl seems to costly for what it does but definitely goes with theme of deck. Lets see if I can find a better card. Dope. Doubling Season and Raised by Wolves are the best I could come up with.
Looks good let us know how the deck does in competition.
Looks like hurricane Harvey hasn't slowed you down too much. Good for you. Stay safe and may God continue to bless you.
