In addition, you have berserker, destroy 25 gems when it enters the battlefield, and when you match 5 gems, if it has been destroyed, it is returned to your hand. Alternately, you have: Dwyen, Gilt-Leaf Daen (5/6 with reach) at 14 Reclaiming Vines (destroy a support) at 8 That's 22 mana for those 2 cards.

Crush of Tentacles = Displacement Wave at 14 mana 2 2/3 Skysnare Spiders at 16 mana each = 56 mana. I could go on, but I think the point is made.
