i thought about experiment kraj.
for those who don't know it copies all activated abilities from creatures with +1/+1 counters.
i think guildmage abilites don't contribute right cuz you can pay mana to their abilities so are the "sacrifice xyz" abilities.
what remains are abilities that cause to tap.
that is where kiki-jiki comes to mind since you simply untap kraj with simic ragworm or vigean craftmage.
what deck would make a home for this combo???
is there a better card than the mirrorbreaker???

Oracle text: Experiment Kraj has all activated abilities of each other creature with a +1/+1 counter on it.
Tap: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.

An activated ability is anything that requires an activation cost. i.e., Tapping, paying an amount of mana, saccing a creature, etc.

i know! that's why i wrote this!
imagine a guildmage with a +1/+1 counter. it doesn't matter if you activate his ability or the one kraj copied! you understand you'll pay the same amount of mana and get the same effect.
that's similar to sac abs..... of course you could sac kraj but .....
tapping in the activation cost means you can get a effect you would get usually once twice per turn.
understood now???

btw there's synsergy with golgari grave troll.........

Kraj is too expensive to be broken.
Or put in a serious tournament deck.
But for casaul he is fun.
For multi he is hill-hair-ious.
For untap put him with Ragworm.
Get a Niv-mizzet out for a bunch of fun.

1) It does matter. If your guildmage is enchanted with Faith's Fetters (and thus can't remove it or use the other ability), and you play Kraj and somehow put a counter on the guildmage, Kraj can remove the fetters to any one of the opponent that played it's permanents!

2) Synergy with Grave Troll? Oh yeah! Play against it with Kraj, steal it's counters, except one, and you can regenerate Kraj!
...Or you could just play with both...

OR put a +1/+1 counter on an opponents creature and steal its ability! but with simic ragworm you've given Exp Kraj the ability "U, untap simic ragworm." a better if slightly more expensive is Vigean Graftmage 1U, untap target creature with a +1/+1 counter on it.
