Poc Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'll post an actual picture of the card when I get home There's been a lot of discussion around this card lately. I feel this card is just waiting to be broken. It's an incredible value engine and fits well into an attrition based shell. The fact that you can turn your chump blockers and opponents removal into card draw makes it very powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Basically the only reason I got 2-0'd on prerelease night. Avoided my claustrophobias and made big spiders that I couldnt get over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I felt like I should've put it in my 2HG deck, but I had too much value with everything else anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I honestly have no idea what to think of this card. It screams value, but I'm not sure how to best capitalize on it yet. Will likely give it a try in Elf EDH just to get a feel for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Even when it can't do what Survival of the Fittest does, it is still incredible just on concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will likely give it a try in Elf EDH just to get a feel for it.Some guy posted a deck concept of using this and abzan ascendancy as some kind of aristocrats style deck. Using the raptor/den protector package for some insane value engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poc Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 You could even play chord in the deck and jam it full of toolbox cards. I think there's some potential in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I don't ever want to play you in Standard unless I am playing UB Control with Vault. Honestly, Protector and Raptor are all I want to do in Magic, so thats a fair response. Getting to play Rhino and Courser is just gravy. You could even play chord in the deck and jam it full of toolbox cards. I think there's some potential in it.I totally forgot that was in standard for another 3 months.

Getting to play Rhino and Courser is just gravy. Go away, you make it so I don't play Ojutai and that makes me sad. Pearl Lake Ancient is what I would have to kill you with, and I don't like that since you're not Twin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 It's "{G}, Sacrifice a creature: Draw a card. (That card just happens to be a creature.)" That's never bad. The only thing that could make it better would be to dump the other cards in the graveyard rather than tuck them. Hoping to pick one up for my Pharika Enchantress EDH deck before the price goes up: I feel like this is one of those cards that won't drop come rotate-out time.

Gokai-Red Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 This card is the sole reason why I'm thinking of chosing green as my prerelease pack just to get a foil copy for my derevi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
