ok i can see how slide is a bit tricky but i would like further enlightenment as to why slide is so vicious and apparently feared in this new block. I mean its not like neferaious lich or a mind over matter, where you just go to town once it hits the table right? its only a spell, which can be countered and its an enchantment, which can be disenchanted. Its not an instant win combo card or is it?

No, but it is a dangerous combo card...

It lets you morph an Exalted Angel, OR ANYTHING, for only 1 mana...
It removes blockers before they block...
It annihilates token creatures...

And you have to remember - Onslaught Block has ways to deal with Enchantments - but not if you're running straight black or Red... Blue even has a hard time...

As for G/W- you have to have the cards in hand to get rid of it...;)

i'll add that it makes white stronger than it has been in the last few sets... by a long shot... (except for multi-colored cards...)

"As does the Exalted Angel, and Akroma's Vengeance...";)

I had a buddy who had the neatest Slide deck I've seen. Of course he ran tons of cycling cards but on top of that he also used Test of Endurance with Ancestor's Chosen. With all the cycling he did gaining 25 life a cycling pop was no big deal...with a little tweaking it could have been a great multiplayer deck.

Beasts also work with Slide and Aether Charge.

Quick way to prevent the NEED for life gain.

I was thinking about putting together a beast/Aether charge/slide deck. Think I even designed one just never got around to actually building it.

Gurzigost is insane in that build. Recur all your cyclers, your enchies, your critters. AND it's 6/8 for 5. Ownage and Operation.
