Draft & Sealed Synergies

Best cards to pair with Attercop in The Hobbit limited

common

Warg Tactics
Warg Tactics
Instant

Warg Tactics can put a +1/+1 counter on Attercop and grant it trample and hexproof, protecting it from removal while making the deathtouch reach creature even more powerful in combat.

 Quarrel
Quarrel
Instant

Attercop has deathtouch, so using Quarrel to have it deal its power in damage to any opposing creature will kill that creature outright due to deathtouch, making Quarrel a one-sided removal spell.

 Boughside Wanderers
Boughside Wanderers
Creature — Elf Scout

Both Attercop and Boughside Wanderers have landfall abilities, and Attercop's landfall +1/+1 bonus stacks with the green landfall theme to create a powerful board presence whenever lands enter.

uncommon

Troll Negotiations
Troll Negotiations
Sorcery

Troll Negotiations puts +1/+1 counters on Attercop and then has it fight a target creature, and with deathtouch Attercop will kill any creature it fights regardless of toughness, making this a very efficient removal spell.

 Beorn's Hospitality
Beorn's Hospitality
Enchantment

Beorn's Hospitality puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature whenever a land enters, and Attercop already gets +1/+1 from its own landfall, meaning each land drop makes Attercop significantly larger while retaining its deathtouch.
