It did take me a while to unearth that combo, but the bigger surprise is that nobody seems to play Necrogenesis. Not online, and not casually.
Crazy I know.
I like the idea with Life and Limb, but I’m too scared to commit that fully (I don’t like making my lands that easy to destroy).

I’m suprised you didn’t see this combo before!
First, Necrogenesis is incredible, by paying 2 mana to get a saproling into play, and with Deathspore Thallid, sacrificing 3 at a time could really knock em out.
But what if you added in Life and Limb, and Living Wish.
Then you’ll have a real monster on your hands.

Agreed. For some reason everyone side-boards with Relic of Progenitus, but nobody plays Necrogenesis. It is way more versatile.

I really like Necrogenisis. I always take it in draft (if I’m close to those colors). It has won me more games and disrupted many strategies. Too bad it doesn’t get more play in constructed.

I actually keep my “cards that are good but not in my decks” in a separate container so I can go back to them once in a while. If its playable.. dont hesitate to separate it from your big stack of land and Homelands cards.
