Dark Depths is an awesome card, but it can take a lot of time and mana to "unfreeze" Marit Lage. There are ten counters, and each counter costs 3 mana to remove.

Fortunately for us, Aether Snap will remove every counter, unleashing the evil Marit Lage.

Hey George and Turbine, I posted the revised version of this combo using Vampire Hexmage, instead of Aether Snap.  I gave you both credit.  Just letting you know!!! :P

This could be a back-up for Vampire Hexmage. Would also be good against something like a wither deck or an Elf deck.

How did this get 2100+ views in under a week? The most views I've ever seen anything get in that long is 300 or so.

Maybe. You know that Marit Lage one-turn you posted today? At the time of this post: 2229 views... in less than a day. Now that strikes me as weird.

Gentlemen... we have a red Spy in the base--I mean, a glitch in the system.

How does Marit Lage survive Aether Snap?

It isn't there yet when the Aether Snap resolves. The token is the result of Dark Depths having no counters, so it isn't there until the Aether Snap resolves.

He's not placed into play until after the spell resolves.
