Unexpected power and strength from the double-sided card Vorinclex - The Grand Evolution
Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution is a double-faced Magic: The Gathering (MTG) card from the set March of the Machine. This card features two different sides: one representing the vigorous Phyrexian Praetor, Vorinclex, and the powerful sorcery, The Grand Evolution.
Vorinclex is a powerful creature that accelerates your strategies while hindering your opponents'. Its Trample and Reach abilities make it an immediate threat on the battlefield.
The Grand Evolution provides a sequence of powerful effects over three turns. The first chapter can potentially put two strong creatures directly onto the battlefield. The second chapter bolsters your board with +1/+1 counters. The final chapter turns your creatures into removal machines, capable of fighting and likely destroying opposing creatures.
When building a deck with Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution, consider the following:
Ramp:
As a high-mana cost card, ensure you have adequate ramp. Cards like Cultivate, Kodama’s Reach, and Sakura-Tribe Elder can help you reach the necessary mana quickly.
Mana "dorks" like Llanowar Elves and Elvish Mystic can also provide early-game ramp to get Vorinclex out faster.
Counter Synergies:
Cards like Doubling Season, The Ozolith, and Winding Constrictor can further amplify the Counter effects.
Consider other creatures and spells that benefit from or distribute counters, like Rishkar, Peema Renegade or Verdurous Gearhulk.
Protection:
Protecting Vorinclex is crucial, as he will be a high-priority target for removal. Cards like Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves, and Asceticism can provide much-needed protection.
