Template:Twig of the World Tree strategy

This weapon has an extremely slow effect, but pays off for combos built around it. It gives 10 filled Mana Crystals when destroyed, meaning it gives you 10 more mana on the turn it's broken. This extra mana can be used to either build a bigger board or set up a one-turn-kill combo. One OTK is to summon Ixlid, Fungal Lord then copy it with Faceless Manipulator, break the Twig, summon Malygos to create 4 of them, then use two Moonfires to deal 42 damage.

Its extremely high durability and relatively high mana cost means in most cases it can't be used to ramp. The fastest you can destroy the Twig is on turn 8 if you attack with it on every turn. However, Wild has ways to destroy the weapon much earlier by replacing it. Blingtron 3000 easily destroy it as early as the next turn, and Medivh, the Guardian can do this as well, although he costs 8 Mana, which is not too much faster. However, using the Sphere of Sapience can break this weapon on the same turn you equip it (with help from The Coin or Innervate).

While it's impractical to use for ramp, the Twig deters weapon destroying cards like Harrison Jones from being played, since it will bring you up to 10 Mana instantly. It does not work after reaching max mana and will deny you the bonus mana if destroyed on the opponent's turn.
