Sprouting Thrinax is a good example: a reasonable attacker that produces three 1/1 tokens when it dies
The full texts of these abilities are "At the beginning of the monarch's end step, that player draws a card" and "Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch." If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card
Extended Art cards such as the Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient and Robe of Stars are wonderful and nearly every card in this set is just as stunning
It doesnt take much for this to build an insurmountable board state, and cards like Purphoros, God of the Forge and Goblin Bombardment mean it doesnt have to attack to snowball towards a win
Of course, its not all about gameplay for the Reserved List
Remember: it's only a death race if you die.
