      I can think of a couple cards that could accomplish that

      Wonder would give all creatures flying when it’s in your graveyard

      You could also use Coat of Arms + Abzan falconer to give your army of squirrels a bunch of +1/+1 counters since they’re all the same type. Falconer means that everything with a +1/+1 counter will have flying. Both of these aren’t green though, so you’d need a hybrid deck or some kind.

      Eldrazi Monument and Akroma’s memorial would also give flying, and are colorless to boot. Eldrazi monument makes you sacrifice a creature each turn though (not a huge deal with how many squirrels you can get). Akroma’s memorial doesn’t have any downsides, but is 7 mana which is decently expensive.

      I’m sure there are other ways but this is what I can think of.

    Am I the only one thinking the places should be reversed in the final panel? Otherwise, this is really funny!

      Honestly the second text box should be removed. It’s just restating the previous panel

        I personally needed to see the squirrels to understand what the implications of the text were. It’s a string of unusual words otherwise.

    Whats even better is that the squirrel can stop it from attacking for at least 15 turns.

    Im just imagining something like Cthulhu coming out about to destroy the word and a squirrel hurls itself at it…and now it has to wait another year for another go.

      Probably not 15 turns, what with Annihilator 6 quickly wiping out the board.

        Im not familiar with what it does. I just saw a 15/15 and 15 1/1s. What does Annihilator do?

          When it attacks, the defending player has to sacrifice X permanents, in Emrakul’s case that’s 6.

            So I haven’t played since sixth edition… are squirrels that are ‘tokens’ considered permanents? I seem to recall the squirrels shenanigans involving doubling each turn, so if you had enough to block eldrazi, you could have enough to survive the annihilator as well.

    Everyone knows you can’t block against flying creatures. That’s why my magic deck is a suicide. Blue filled with 1/1 flying creatures and enchantments to make my non-flying creatures flying-creatures. It’s pretty good.

    Given the other sorts of things that pass for 1/1 creatures, I’d assume each token either represents a giant squirrel or a swarm of regular-sized ones.

    That said, 15/15 does seem a tad low for a world-destroying eldritch horror.
