不管你是大师，还是刚入坑的新手，这篇文章都给你提供了一些榨取额外价值的思路。也许这能帮助你的下一次轮抓。准备好充分发挥卡牌的潜能吧，把你的游戏提高到一个新的水平。
#20 The Surprise Skeleton
In The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, there are no Skeletons at Common, which means that Corpses of the Lost is largely self-contained and generally only pumps its own tokens. However, at higher rarities, you can find the Skeleton type in surprising places, and it can be useful to know what they are.
在 LCI 没有「骷髅妖」类别的铁牌。也就是说，失落者之骸大部分时候只能和自己玩，膨胀自己的衍生物。但是在更高稀有度的牌里，能惊喜的找到「骷髅妖」。
One of the most prominent ones is Uchbenbak, the Great Mistake, which turns into a 7/4 with haste. Additionally, the back faces of Visage of Dread and Throne of the Grim Captain are Skeletons as well. The final and craziest way to create a Skeleton is provided by Eaten by Piranhas. You could even enchant your own creature to give it haste and win the race out of nowhere. Put that one on your Limited bucket list!
最容易被发现的是厄灾骨绷霸，在失落者之骸的配合下，释放的回合就可以是 7/4 敏捷。
可怖头颅骨和司命王座翻面以后也是「骷髅妖」。另外，创造「骷髅妖」的终极手段是给自己的生物贴食人鱼撕咬！在你需要一击毙命的时候，可以这么玩。在你轮抓的时候，奔放一回吧！
#19 A Big Score
Turn two Dowsing Device into turn three Tinker's Tote is a sweet curve. After creating two tokens, you target both with Dowsing Device triggers. The first trigger turns one Golem into a 5/1 haste and transforms Dowsing Device into Geode Grotto. When the second trigger resolves, you control three artifacts and an additional land, so it turns the other Gnome into a 4/1 haste and doesn't flip back the double-faced card. After the dust settles, you can attack for nine and reap the benefits of a superior Rampant Growth in subsequent turns. Nice!
二回合探源装置 + 三回合修补匠背袋是个绝配。造出来的两个 1/1 地侏衍生物都会触发探源装置的异能。第一个结算的异能会让一个地侏成为 5/1 敏捷，并且将探源装置转化成晶岩石室。第二个异能结算时，你操控三个神奇和一个翻面的地，所以另一个地侏会成为 4/1 敏捷。好的，等到尘埃落定，你可以踹出去 9 点伤害，并且完成了一次徒长！
Another sweet two-drop that has excellent synergy with Tinker's Tote is Tarrian's Journal, which can generate a game-winning amount of card advantage.
另一个类似的优秀配合是二回合塔理安的日志 + 三回合修补匠背袋，这能形成大量的手牌优势。
#18 The Surprise Artifact Boost!
As a Izzet drafter, I love attacking my Goblin Tomb Raider into opposing 3/2s when I control only one artifact. If they block, then Cogwork Wrestler will turn my attacker into a 2/2 and their blocker into a 1/2, allowing me to win combat for a single mana while adding an extra piece of cardboard to the battlefield.
在一个红蓝轮抓套牌里，我喜欢在对手有 3/2 生物，我有一个神器的时候，用古墓奇鬼踢。如果对手阻挡，再上我的齿轮摔角械，让我的古墓奇鬼成为 2/2（这里原文有点怪，本来不就是 2/2 了么？），对手的 3/2 成为 1/2，从而把对手骗死。同时，我的场上还多了一个人。
#17 Haste in Your Opponent's Turn?
Although Hotfoot Gnome is usually activated in your first main phase, it's crucial to realize that it's sometimes beneficial to grant haste in your opponent's turn. For example, if you're in a damage race and need your Panicked Altisaur to block, you can leave it untapped and give it haste in your opponent's end step. This way, you get to rumble in combat and ping. Perhaps obvious, but easy to miss.
虽然，炽足侏械通常是在你的战斗前主回合启动，但也要注意到有的时候你也可以在对方的回合给你的生物敏捷来获益。举个例子，如果你和对手在对着抢血，这个时候需要你的惊慌硕伟龙来充当阻挡者。那么你就可以在主回合，让 ta 立着，然后在对手的回合的结束阶段给 ta 敏捷，然后打对手 2。这个操作不复杂，但容易 miss。
#16 Welcome to Jurassic Park
Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation triples your creature token creation. This supercharges Commons like Tinker's Tote or Envoy of Okinec Ahau, and it goes even wilder with Rares like Palani's Hatcher. With Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation on the battlefield, Palani's Hatcher now creates six Eggs when it enters the battlefield, each of which turn into three 3/3 Dinosaurs. Given enough time, this two-card combo will create 54 power worth of Dinosaur creature tokens. Welcome to... Jurassic Park!
深邃奠础塔克尊神可以让你派出三倍的衍生物。这让你的修补匠背袋、欧奇尼亚豪的使节都变强了。至于帕拉尼的育幼龙，就可以用狂野来形容了。当深邃奠础塔克尊神在场上的时候，帕拉尼的育幼龙进场会造 6 个 0/1 的蛋，然后每次战斗开始时，可以把一个蛋变成三个 3/3 的恐龙...多给 ta 几个回合，你用这两张牌，将可以制造 54 点的攻击力...欢迎来到侏罗纪公园。
#15 Discover Every Turn!
Caparocti Sunborn and Diamond Pick-Axe synergize well together, as long as you stack the triggers correctly. If you create a Treasure token first, then you can tap it (along with the equipment) to Discover 3 afterwards. That's some sweet value.
炫日卡帕罗提和钻石十字镐有很好的系统作用，但你要注意异能触发后的结算顺序。你需要先把珍宝造出来，再将这个珍宝和钻石十字镐横置，这样就可以让炫日卡帕罗的倾探 3 触发了。赚~
Note, however, that this does not work with Brazen Blademaster. Due to its wording, it checks how many artifacts you controlled as it attacked. It's not a trigger, so if Diamond Pick-Axe was your only artifact before combat, Brazen Blademaster won't get the boost.
不过要注意，这招在莽霸大剑师身上不管用。因为，莽霸大剑师的异能是检查他进攻的时候有几个神器。这不是一个触发式异能，所以如果在战斗开始前，你只有钻石十字镐一个神器，莽霸大剑师是没法变大的。
#14 Create an Army of Merfolk!
Even if you attack with multiple Merfolk, Deeproot Pilgrimage will create only a single token because it triggers whenever "one or more" nontoken Merfolk become tapped. To get more value out of the enchantment, Subterranean Schooner is a nice addition. By tapping your Merfolk one by one, you can create a steady stream of tokens that will ultimately overwhelm your opponent.
当你用多个人鱼进攻的时候，繁根林朝圣也只能造一个人鱼衍生物。因为 ta 的异能是「每当一个或数个由你操控且非衍生物的人鱼成为横置时，派出一个1/1蓝色，具辟邪异能的人鱼衍生生物。」
地底纵帆船则可以让你更赚。你可以用地底纵帆船的搭载，挨个把你的非衍生物人鱼都横了（搭载可以在同一个回合反复启动）。每横一个造一个人鱼...最后对手只能把牌撕了回家...
TopDeck 补充：其他搭载 1 的载具也都可以这么玩...
#13 Build Your Own Embercleave!
Although Embercleave did not get reprinted in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, this two-card combo comes close. Assuming Kinjalli's Dawnrunner started as a 2/2 double strike, a mid-combat Staggering Size will turn it into a 5/5 double striker with trample, setting up surprise lethal out of nowhere. And if your opponent was at a high enough life total, you're still connecting twice, allowing you to draw two cards with Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar!
虽然鞍烬锋在 LCI 没有重印，但是我们可以用两张牌玩出相似的效果。假设津加理传曙人通过勘察陈为了一个 2/2 连击人，对 ta 施放一个巨大体形能让 ta 成为 5/5 连击践踏，从而造成意想不到的巨量伤害。就算对手的血量够高，扛住了这一脚，但你还是对他造成了两次伤害，如果你场上有豹族模范库琪，ta 能让你抓两张牌。
#12 Build Your Own Baneslayer
Ruin-Lurker Bat starts as a lowly 1/1, but little Bats grow up so quickly. With pump effects like Explorer's Cache, you can reach Baneslayer Angel territory quickly. The nice part about Explorer's Cache is that even if your opponent has a removal spell, you'll get your counters back.
伏迹蝙蝠一开始只是个 1/1，但是小蝙蝠也能长得巨快。通过探险家密储这样的膨胀效果，你甚至能搞出来一个破邪天使。就算对手通过去除杀掉你的生物，你还能用探险家密储回收指示物。
Another good option to curve into a turn-two Explorer's Cache is Warden of the Inner Sky. It doesn't care where the counters come from — as long as it has three or more, it'll gain flying and vigilance.
另一个配合是探险家密储 + 内宇护卫。内宇护卫不关心自己的豆从哪儿来，只要有三个豆就可以警戒飞行。
#11 Explore at Instant-speed!
When you control both Miner's Guidewing and Bartolomé del Presidio, combat turns into a nightmare for your opponent. For example, if a 3/3 of yours rumbles into a 3/3 of theirs, you can sacrifice Miner's Guidewing at instant speed, allowing your 3/3 to explore. If there's a nonland card on top, it'll grow into a 4/4 and survive combat. The potential to dish out a free +1/+1 counter at instant speed means that your opponent will have to make difficult choices.
当你有矿工向导鸟和巴洛梅德普西迪奥同时在场时，战斗阶段绝对是对手的噩梦。例如，你用一个 3/3 踢，如果对手用 3/3 挡，你就可以用巴洛梅德普西迪奥牺牲矿工向导鸟，来让你的 3/3 勘察。如果牌库顶牌不是地，你的 3/3 就会成为 4/4，生吃掉对手的 3/3。这个潜在的瞬间给豆的操作，让对手面对这个阻挡局面的时候需要考虑其他可能性。
#10 The Blinking Boulder
Most blink effects can only target creatures, but Abuelo, Ancestral Echo can target artifacts as well. One of the best targets is Runaway Boulder, which can devastate your opponent's board. You can even activate Abuelo, Ancestral Echo once in your turn and once in your opponent's turn to destroy two creatures per turn cycle. Once this gets rolling, it's hard to lose.
大多数移出再移回的效应只能以生物为目标。而念世先父阿布罗的异能还可以以神器为目标。于是，失控滚石成为了 ta 的最佳基友...你甚至可以分别在你的回合和对手的回合启动念世先父阿布罗的异能，分别蹂躏对手一个生物。能这么玩，还怎么输啊...
TopDeck 补充：注意念世先父阿布罗的异能移回时机是「下一个结束步骤开始时」，所以，如果你想在 T+1 回合一开始的时候，被放逐的对象在场上，就需要在 T 回合的结束步骤开始前把对象放逐走（例如：战斗结束之后的行动阶段）。如果你在是对手回合结束步骤，对手喊了过，优先权给你，你再放逐对象，那么这个对象会在下一个你的回合结束步骤开始时，才回到战场。
#9 Strike Rich
Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider turns every Treasure token into an additional +1/+1 counter, which means that Hit the Mother Lode will be amazing no matter what you hit. If, say, you discover a three-drop, then you'll create seven Treasures, allowing you to dish out seven +1/+1 counters across your Pirates!
每个进场的珍宝，都能让宇金劫客速腾船长分配一个 +1+1 豆。这意味着，如果你释放寻得母脉，倾探出来一个 3 费的牌，你就还能造 7 个珍宝衍生物，然后老船长就可以分配 7 个 +1+1 豆给你的海盗们。
#8 Ping For Four
Sunshot Militia normally pings for a single damage, but Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might quadruples this. If you have two spare artifacts lying around and tap both creatures, you're dealing eight damage per turn, producing lethal damage in no time.
阳击民兵的异能通常结算一次打 1 点，但是如果你场上有深邃勇力安雄理尊神，就可以一次打 4 点。你要是有两个神器，再加上阳击民兵和红神，一回合能打 8...对面直接 G 了。
#7 Ping With Deathtouch
When you sacrifice Sunfire Torch, it's the creature that deals the damage, not the Equipment. This means that if it was equipped to a deathtoucher like Deathcap Marionette, you can take down any opposing creature, no matter its size. Huatli's Final Strike and Dire Blunderbuss work in a similar way with Deathcap Marionette.
当你牺牲阳焰炬想要打 2 的时候，注意是佩带阳焰炬生物造成伤害，而不是阳焰炬本身。也就是说如果你把阳焰炬佩戴给一个死触生物，例如：毒蕈菇偶，你可以用这两点伤害干倒任何对手的大个儿生物。华特莉纳命击、焦炬短炮也可以这么玩。
Relatedly, if you instead let a lifelink creature like Echo of Dusk deal the damage, then the extra points of life may allow you to win a close damage race. Grasping Shadows is perhaps even better for this, as it adds both lifelink and deathtouch.
同样的，假如你用一个系命生物（例如：暮影念世灵）这么玩，也能帮你获得生命，从而赢得比赛。按这个逻辑，你再有一个缠攫阴影就更溜了，ta 能给你的生物死触+系命。
#6 Build Your Own Settle the Wreckage
If you're attacked by three lethal creatures and have only seven lands and two cards in hand, there's still a way to survive. Spring-Loaded Sawblades pings one attacker, Mischievous Pup picks it up and jumps in front of another, and finally the bounced Spring-Loaded Sawblades deals with the third attacker. Never count out your opponent in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan!
如果你被三个能打死你的生物进攻，手上有两张牌 + 场上七块地，你也不一定就输了。先闪现一个压簧锯轮锯掉一个。再闪现一个恼人幼犬回手压簧锯轮，再阻挡一个。伤害结算前，再闪现压簧锯轮锯掉最后一个。在 LCI 永远不要低估你的对手。
#5 Reanimate the Best Artifact
The final reanimation strategy I want to highlight revolves around Abuelo's Awakening, a Rare that has awesome synergy with Threefold Thunderhulk. After you discard or mill it, you can return it to the battlefield on turn four, which is way ahead of time for a seven-drop. Even better, the reanimation spell effectively turns it into a 4/4 flier, allowing it to evade blockers and creating an even larger army of Gnomes
终极的复活策略我想提名先父觉醒 + 三阳霆巨械。假如你磨牌或者弃牌，把三阳霆巨械扔进了坟场，那就可以在四回合通过先父觉醒，把七费的三阳霆巨械拉回战场。拉进来的时候是个 4/4 飞机，如果对手阻挡不了，就能快速造出一个地侏军团。
#4 Reanimate a Two-Drop
Technically, Guardian of the Great Door is a card with mana value of two. So if it dies or gets discarded early, you can return it with Helping Hand. Since you're not actually casting the 4/4 flier, you won't have to tap four additional permanents, making it the best reanimation target for the sorcery.
从规则上来说，伟门守护使是一个 2 费生物。所以，如果在早期伟门守护使死了，或者弃牌进了坟场，你可以用伸手救援把 ta 捞回来。这样，你就不用横四个永久物来释放 ta 了。这可能是伸手救援最好的复活对象。
#3 Reanimate an Elder Dinosaur
On turn two, play a card like Saheeli's Lattice, Volatile Wanderglyph, or Chart a Course to discard Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant. Next, cast Soulcoil Viper, and brace for impact. On turn four, return Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant to the battlefield, put all creature cards from your hand onto the table and laugh as you present a comically unbeatable board state.
二回合，我们可以通过释放莎希莉的格栅、易怒漫游符、规划航路来把狂奔暴龙戈厄塔扔进坟场。
三回合上缠魂毒蛇，把安全带系好。四回合，拉狂奔暴龙戈厄塔回战场，把手里的生物倾泻而下...
TopDeck 补充：在 LCI Qualifier Play-In Sealed BO1 中有一套 6 胜套牌，就使用了蛇怪思路。详见：【MTGA 限制】制图师伴侣好用吗？Qualifier Play-In 小结
#2 Reanimate a Landcycler
There's a minor reanimation theme in this set, enabled by landcycling creatures such as Nurturing Bristleback. Each color has one of them at Common. With Defossilize, you can return them as early as turn five and dominate the battlefield ahead of time. But this is only the first of the reanimation interactions — we're only getting started!
复活是这个系列的一个小主题，改个颜色都有 2 费循环的恐龙，例如：育幼鬃背龙。通过化石复生，你最早可以在五回合拉回这些大恐龙来统治战场。
#1 The Indestructible 5/4
By suiting up your Diamond Pick-Axe, you can attack with a 5/4 indestructible creature as early as turn three. There are answers, including Join the Dead, Brackish Blunder, and Tithing Blade at Common, but even then you'll get to Discover 3 for your trouble. If your opponent doesn't have an answer, however, then they're in big trouble, as they can't take down your indestructible creature in combat.
给钻石十字镐贴生机雕符，能让你在三回合获得一个 5/4 不灭的生物...
能干掉 ta 的铁牌有亡灵征列、咸水苦难、奉献祭刃。但就算被解了，你还可以倾探 3。如果对手没有合适的解...那还玩个 p 啊
TopDeck 补充：昨天晚上冲秘稀天梯，打到凌晨三点，钻石 2 升钻石 1 的关键对局，对面三回合 5/4 不灭。我直接关电脑了...万智牌真没劲！
