Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Red/Green/White Abuse “Same Name” Effects

Seven Dwarves by Jason Rainville

It gets lonely down in the mines … that’s why the Seven Dwarves put seven ads in the singles section of the South Settlestone Sentinel. And boy did they strike gold! Now a gathering throng of beauties is battering down their door with thoughts of marital bliss.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is all about abusing “same name” effects. Seven Dwarves get bigger the more of them you control, Gathering Throng will tutor more of itself, Cylian Sunsinger makes herself and all her sisters huge … and on and on!

Use Dragon’s Approach to burn early threats while setting yourself up for a flying finisher later in the game. Spy Kit combos brilliantly with Cylian Sunsinger; just equip it on your other creatures so they can share the Sunsinger’s buff bonus. You can play a similar trick with Echoing Courage. Make Dwarf tokens with Dwarven Mine, then equip Bearded Axe on your Seven Dwarves for huge bonuses. Use Thrumming Stone to speed things up and Pattern Matcher and Chrome Replicator to fill any gaps.

Finish with a stampede of huge Brides and Brothers or with a surprise aerial assault from your dragons. Are those wedding bells I hear ringing or is that your opponent’s funeral bells?
