In fact, they've even gone so far as to reverse functional errata they did previously, if the card was never reprinted with the errata'd wording.

The only exception is that one commander guy they errata'd recently, I guess because having the flagship creature in a deck being pre-emptively banned from the only format it's playable in is bad for sales.

They do functional errata if it's a misprint, like with the commander guy you are talking about. Also like walking atlas not saying artifact on its type line.

Marath, Will of the Wild I don't know if they fixed it but for a while on mtgo you could do x=0 if there was a cost reducing effect on the battlefield for zero mana cost activations.

Target any number of creatures/players an infinite number of times at instant speed for 0.

Put infinite creatures into play for 0.

Have infinite creatures die for 0.

Immense number of totally free combos for a general costing 3 that starts in your hand every game.

Simplest combo: T1 soul sister. T3 gain infinite life. The possibilities are basically endless.

Having actually run a Marath deck, he can be pretty fun depending on how broken your environment is, or if you just keep playing when someone combos out. He's okay. The dude who makes everyone who attacks an opponent get +2/+0 is generally better though, since he makes you win on t5 most of the time. And absolutely nobody targets him the first time they see him out, and then aim all cannons at him every game thereafter.

I mean we're talking about pre-errata Marath who would pretty cleanly be the strongest commander in the game and just shatter the format entirely.

I think you could make an EDH deck entirely of cards that go infinite with pre-errata Marath and land. Door of Destinies is another good one, but ideally you'd want 2 card combos that win the turn they are cast.

Auras fizzle out if their target is invalidated before resolution right? So if an opponent plays Dragon Mantle and I respond by killing the target, they don't draw a card? It doesn't hit the field then get sent to the yard?

Correct, except for Bestow, which specifically sticks around because Wizards says so.

Marath's the top Naya guy in French 1v1 because he is a versatile motherfucker. Give him a Basilisk Collar or hold hands with Nightshade Peddler, and he's a machine gun. Split him into little 1/1 elementals, then use Gavony or something to double your fun or just pop 'em with skullclamp to refill your hand. Respond to removal by pumping a dude then just drop him again. He's a bastard.

Here's a pretty sweet list. Being surrounded by Naya goodstuff and having the lingering threat of Kiki combos makes him pretty rough.
