Ignore the first Kodama of the East Tree trigger, then resolve Simic Growth Chamber and choose to bounce it back to your hand, and then resolve all of the Scute Swarm copies.Įach time a Scute Swarm copy enters the battlefield, Kodama of the East Tree will trigger. When you play Simic Growth Chamber, a few triggers will happen. While Citadel's Magic Tokens were a good idea, sometimes the simpler ideas stick around in the end.This combo combines Commander Legends' scariest card, Kodama of the East Tree, with Zendikar Rising's scariest, Scute Swarm.įor this to work, you need to have six or more lands (that are not Simic Growth Chamber), Kodama of the East Tree, and Scute Swarm already on the battlefield. Today, while specialized tokens and such do exist, most players still use those glass beads, dice, or (now) the official Magic: The Gathering creature token cards to use as tokens during gameplay. The early losses had taken their toll and had severely drained the resources of the company. In 1996, Citadel Gaming (as well as the display manufacturer, Mobius) went out of business. Or, well, it would have if everything didn't go to hell. They came in boxes where individual ones could be sold, and it all came out looking like a nifty way to sell some off-brand non-licensed tokens for Magic: The Gathering. They all came in packs of 25, meaning that unless the store owner broke them up, that 25 cent purchase really cost you more than $6.00, plus tax.īy September a large third run of about 150,000 tokens came out, adding new colors and finally seeming like they hit their stride. Stores were happy to have the second run of tokens.that is until they realized they couldn't be individually sold very easily. Once the second run came out, the first one was brought immediately to a dump somewhere in central Oregon. No one had told them that they had to heat the presses before molding out the tokens to improve quality and to get rid of any issues. Also, it was later learned that their display manufacturer didn't know how to properly press the type of plastic being used, which was known as SINTRA. It turns out that the dye bled down, meaning that any surface that the token touched now had a pretty good chance of getting smudged. The first batch that came out in July of 1995 had a black dye problem with the coloration. Somehow they managed to get around the copyright and called these things "Magic Tokens" (though probably for the same reason that WotC couldn't just trademark "Magic," forcing them to add "The Gathering" to the title).Ĭonfused as to why you never heard of them before today? Well, it turns out that they kinda sucked. Created by the Eugene, Oregon, company Citadel Gaming, all of the creatures were printed out on plastic and were meant to be sold for only 25 cents. Sold only in Oregon, these first tokens came out in 1995. This led to two things happening: (A) The next issue of The Duelist magazine actually had to include a huge cardboard inset of printed off token cards, as did the two-issue Fallen Empires comic book series and (B) one company actually made the first printed tokens made especially for Magic: The Gathering (and this was way before WotC itself made its own officially printed token cards). In late 1994, however, the game's fifth expansion, Fallen Empires, had a lot of cards that needed tokens and counters. After all, when more creatures or whatever are created, you need to put something down.įor the first two years it was all still pretty much a "use whatever you want" world. The issue, though, is that Wizards of the Coast never made any official ones, leaving players to instead use glass beads, coins, dice, scraps of paper, and whatever else they could find. Ever since Magic: The Gathering began in the 1993, the use of tokens has been important thanks to cards like The Hive and whatnot.

Leto was said to be one of Zeus's consorts. His next wife was the Titaness Mnemosyne (Memory), who produced the Nine Muses. But he violated her in the form of a bull, and from their union came Persephone. Zeus then was attracted by his sister Demeter, who resisted him. His third wife was Eurynome, an ocean nymph, and she bore the three Graces. His second wife, Themis (Divine Justice), gave birth to the Seasons, to Wise Laws, to Human Justice, to Peace, and to the Fates. By swallowing Metis, however, Zeus had gained wisdom as part of his intrinsic nature. Yet in order to allow Athena to live, as Metis' firstborn, Zeus had Hephaestus take an axe and cleave his forehead open, and from Zeus's head sprang Athena, fully armed. The first was Metis (Wisdom), whom Zeus swallowed just before she gave birth to Athena because he knew that her second child would dethrone him. Indeed, as a sky god it was expected of him to fecundate the earth and neither goddess, nymph, nor mortal was able to resist his advances, for the most part. In addition to having the most power, Zeus gained another advantage from his position as, a sky god, since it allowed him free access to any beauty that took his fancy. It was also decreed that earth, and Olympus in particular, would be common to all three. Zeus thus gained the mastery of the sky, Poseidon of the seas, and Hades of the underworld.

He and his fellow gods went to live on Mount Olympus. Now Zeus was the most powerful of all the gods. This is the legend of how Mount Etna became a volcano. Zeus fought the Typhon and trapped him under Mount Etna. The other Olympians ran and hid, but not Zeus. She sent the world's most fearsome monster called the Typhon to fight the Olympians. Mother Earth then became angry with Zeus for locking the Titans underground. The Titans surrendered and Zeus had them locked deep underground. Zeus got thunder and lightning, Poseidon got a powerful trident, and Hades a helm that made him invisible. They gave the Olympians weapons to fight the Titans. Zeus set the giants and Cyclopes of Earth free to help him fight. They battled Zeus and his brothers and sisters for years. They were Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, Hera, and Hestia.Ĭronus and the Titans were angry. When Cronus drank the potion, he coughed up his five children. He got a special potion and disguised himself so that Cronus would not recognize him. When Zeus grew older he wanted to rescue his brothers and sisters. They didn't die, but they couldn't get out of his stomach either! When Rhea had Zeus, she hid him from Cronus and Zeus was raised in the forest by Nymphs. Zeus' father Cronus was worried that his children would become too powerful, so he ate his first five children. Zeus was the sixth child of the Titan gods Cronus and Rhea. Other famous children include the Muses, the Graces, and Helen of Troy. He also had some children who were half human and were heroes such as Hercules and Perseus. Some of his children were Olympic gods such as Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Hermes and Dionysus. He had three sisters including Hestia, Demeter, and Hera (who he married). His other brother was Poseidon, god of the sea. His oldest brother was Hades who ruled the Underworld. He was the youngest, but the most powerful of three brothers. Zeus had several brothers and sisters who were also powerful gods and goddesses. If people made him angry, sometimes he would turn them into animals as punishment. He could also shape shift so that he looked like an animal or a person. He could mimic people's voices to sound like anyone. He could also control the weather causing rain and huge storms. His winged horse Pegasus carried his lightning bolts and he trained an eagle to retrieve them. His most famous power is the ability to throw lightning bolts. Zeus was the most powerful of the Greek gods and had a number of powers. His symbols include the lightning bolt, the eagle, the bull, and the oak tree. Zeus was the king of the Greek gods who lived on Mount Olympus.
