If your opponent is playing Exhume in his deck, it's better to eat the Imp first since the Wraith is the better creature to put on the battlefield – It can attack past a lifelinking Griselbrand due to Swampwalk.
But there is a tiebreaker when deciding between the two. This wastes the mana your opponent was holding up or simply reduces the impact of their cards.įinally, it's pretty obvious that Ichorid should eat Putrid Imp and Street Wraith first because they don't have the Dredge ability. If you expect your opponent to cast those during this turn, it may be a better idea to leave your Horrors in the graveyard for this turn and just attack with your Zombie tokens instead. That will give you more options and help you feed the least relevant creature to your Horror while also putting more cards in your graveyard, since you will be able to discard your dredger again before the draw step.Īlso note that you don't need to "overextend" Miracle's Terminus or Swords to Plowshares with your Ichorids.
If you have Cephalid Coliseum and another mana source alongside a dredger and Threshold while Ichorid's ability goes to the stack, you can hold priority instead of passing and now use your Coliseum to find more black creatures before the ability resolves. Therefore, make your opponent use their Stifle before you tell them if it's a good play or a wasted card. It's not always obvious to your opponent if you will even return Ichorid at all and what you will exile. This is important because it could bait your opponent into a bad play.
However, you don't communicate any decisions, if you want to return it to the battlefield this turn or which creature you're going to exile, until the ability resolves. The first thing you need to understand about this card is that its triggered ability goes onto the stack at the beginning of your upkeep. It is put onto the battlefield without spending any mana but rather demands a flow of black creatures to feed on. Ichorid is my favorite recursive creature in the deck.
