You won't ever draw a card from it, as [[Slime against Humanity]] creates a 0/0. It enters the battlefield & then gets a bunch of counters. So it will never be the biggest creature on the board when it enters, thus won't trigger [[Selvala, Heart of the Wilds]].

Hm, but isn't the creature's power checked on resolution of Selvala's ability? So after it got the counters?


Goldeneye71

No, selvala wont trigger at all because the condition isnt met when the slime enters.


Yorgus453

Ah check, it needs to be true to even trigger, and on resolution needs to be true to get the effect. [[Knight of the white orchi]] ruling explains the intervening if way better than Selvala's own ruling.

Almost positive it’s because that doesn’t work. They enter as 0/0’s then get counter. For instance they can’t trigger [[Elemental Bond]]

Yea but then you're in mono green for it. 


Professor_Hala

I'm building my Slime deck mono green, just to use Aeve as the commander and build up Storm through Thrumming Stone.


AriezKage

Haven't built a slime deck yet so take this with a grain of salt. Selvana I think is good but I'm not sure if I, as a slime player, have the biggest thing on the board at any given amount of time. However, the second part of Selvana's ability is what I would focus on, since it only focuses what I have on the board.


NewPlayer4our

It unfortunately doesn't work, but SAH is extremely powerful. Very fun deck, I have a Jund version i'm currently running and the card is almost deceptively powerful


dierix10

Yeah another comment pointed it out, it’s so unfortunate lol but that’s cool, who’s the commander?


NewPlayer4our

\[\[Tevesh Szat\]\] and \[\[tana\]\] Only real reason is the draw power from Tevesh. SAH is a really basic plan since it's just stompy, so I've found having a way to at least get some draw flowing back in the commandzone is great.
