These include Balmor (pumps your entire team and adds trample when spells are cast), Najal (gives spells flash and flashback), Ghitu Amplifier and ELectrostatic Infantry (creatures grow larger with spell casting), Haughty Djinn (grows larger with spells and makes spells cheaper) and Micromancer (tutor for instant/sorcery)
