For me, Squirrel nest/Earthcraft, is the best creature combo. If you had Essence Warden on the battlefield, you would have that many tokens into lives... opponents should give up. But, if they don't you could use vitalize, with skullclamp on battlefield and draw two cards for every token equiped... deck in hand.

Presence of Gond/Intruder Alarm does the same thing as Squirrel Nest/Earthcraft, except your million creatures aren't tapped when they come into play like they are with Earthcraft.

I love squirrels.
I love 4th turn win conditions.
Thus, I love this card. :D

When I drop this with Earthcraft already in play, opponents tend to concede. Except one time I got Wrath of Godded, but still won the next turn.

A card doesn't have to be part of an infinite combo to be both fun and good. Who needs earthcraft?

Do you also get the mana from tapping the land or do you have to choose wether to put out a token or gain mana?

@gustafsonjerry, the land already had tap: add color to your mana pool. Now it also has Tap: Put a 1/1 green Squirrel creature token onto the battlefield.

You have to choose which ability you want to activate.

Basically, to answer your question simply, you have to choose between the two.

Best combo:
Turn 1: Forest, Utopia Sprawl declare Mountain
Turn 2: Forest, Goblin Bombardment or earthcraft and another Utopia Sprawl declare Mountain
Turn 3: Land of your choice, Goblin Bombardment or earthcraft (which ever one you didn't put down last turn) and Squirrel Nest.
Tap enchanted land, make a squirrel, tap squirrel to earthcraft, untap the Squirrel Nest land, tap to make a squirrel, repeat 10,000,000,000,000,000 times (since legaly you must declare an amount other than infinity.) Sacrifice them all to Goblin Bombardment Kill all creatures other than your own, and kill all opponents.

No, Squirrel Vs. Goats.

See Springjack Shepherd comments for a deck list. I'd buy it in a second if WotC made it.

This plus Earthcraft = concede. Unless you have that one destroy enchantment spell with split second, you're gonna lose.

Probably one of the only good enchant lands.

Who needs Terra Stomper and Worldspine Wurm when you can have infinite swarms of SQUIRRELS.

Combos well with Arbor Elf (and the obvious Parallel Lives and Doubling Season) to get out a lot of tokens. It's kinda ridiculous. I'd say it also combos with Earthcraft, but Earthcraft is currently banned soooo...

Does detain work against this card? Since detain works on nonland cards, and this gives the land the ability, can it bed detained?
