Subject: Force of Nature - Gain life effortlessly - Alex RK

*Several numbered sets including 6th, and a few other sets Force of Nature
2GGGG   Rare
Summon Force
Trample
During your upkeep, pay GGGG or force of nature deals 8 damage to you

*Invasion
Armadillo Cloak
1GW  Common
Enchant Creature
Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has trample. Whenever enchanted creature 
deals damage, you gain that much life.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To start, it helps to have fast mana ideas to cast these pricey creatures, 
but anything like Harrow (tempest), Sunscape Apprentice (Invasion), Llanowar 
Druid (weatherlight), etc definitely helps <none of these cards are in the 
combo>

Anyway, get Force of Nature out, and cast at least one Armadillo Cloak on 
it. This negates the damage it deals to you if you dont pay the upkeep. A 
soul link will work as well, or any similar card that gains life when the 
target deals damage.
If you cast two of these life-gaining enchantments on F.O.N. it now gains 
you 8 life every turn. Not to mention it'll be at least 12/12 and gaining 
you life when it attacks.

If you're aiming for a cheap 8/8 (force of nature only costs 6 mana total = 
2GGGG) and you just want to negate the damage, a Circle of Protection: Green 
reduces the upkeep from GGGG to 1 of anything.


...It's not the best combo I have in my force of nature deck, but it works 
pretty well. And regarding the cards I mentioned to get the Force of Nature 
out .... Ive managed to cast it by third turn with them.
