Old Gnawbone

Gameplan

Old Gnawbone turns combat damage into explosive ramp, generating piles of Treasure that fuel huge spells the same turn. You ramp into the 7-mana Dragon, swing with it (or any creature) for a player's life total in Treasure, then dump that mana into game-ending payoffs. As a 5/5 flier she also clocks fast on her own.

Key Cards

• Xenagos, God of Revels — Doubles a creature's power and grants haste, massively multiplying the Treasure generated on the swing.
• Rapacious Dragon — Cheap Treasure synergy that pairs naturally with Gnawbone's token theme and ramp plan.
• Craterhoof Behemoth — Turns a wide board into a lethal alpha strike that, if not lethal, makes overwhelming Treasure.
• Mana Reflection — Doubles all the Treasure mana you tap, letting you cast everything in your deck in one turn.
• Aggravated Assault — Extra combat steps mean repeat Gnawbone triggers, looping into near-infinite Treasure with enough mana.
• Rite of the Raging Storm — Hasty 5/3 trampling tokens each turn give consistent unblockable-ish damage to fuel Treasure.

Upgrade Path

Add mana doublers (Mana Reflection, Doubling Cube) and power doublers (Xenagos, Berserkers' Onslaught) to multiply Treasure output, plus extra-combat enablers like Aggravated Assault and Combat Celebrant for combo finishes. Include protection such as Heroic Intervention and Swiftfoot Boots to keep Gnawbone alive, and trample-granters like Nylea, Rancor, or Garruk's Uprising to guarantee damage gets through. Cap it with payoffs—Craterhoof, Finale of Devastation, Genesis Wave—that convert sudden mana into wins.
