Add Pestermite and a blink engine and you have a combo deck that will pretty much never come together (but the one time in a hundred when it does will be a great story).

 

[Rasmus Källqvist]

Seems like a variant of stormblood berserker, slightly easier to activate and with some dork/token hate as well. Don't know if theres a lack of two drops but it looks more interesting than borderland marauder (which, incidentally, cannot block the aspirant even to chump)

 

[Goldenpineapple]

I like it. A lot.

Today I noticed my black section has a lot more 1-CMCs and red has a lot more 2-CMCs.

 

[ahadabans]

I'm a big fan of the Raid mechanic actually. Nice flavor. Hopefully they print more cubable cards with it.

 

[Lucre]

There is a lot of opportunity now to pick and choose and double up on your red 2s to give your format consistency and more particular character.

 

[shamizy]

I like the new Red 2-drop. Art is pretty sweet as well. Can't wait to pick up a foil copy for cheap.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Is it wrong for me to like this better than Journey to Nowhere? I guess I like conditional removal better than unconditional removal. It's also slightly better in aggro builds than in control builds, since you can't remove that Goblin Guide that's beating you to a pulp with this. I also like the new templating better because those Disenchant tricks are super unintuitive to a large part of my cube players.

 

[Goldenpineapple]

So odd. While I think fat guys have it tough enough in a lot of lists, I think conditional removal that is less technical is probably better overall- attacking/blocking over toughness-counting anyways. Dismember becoming a counterspell seems off to me in this case.

That is a pretty cool interaction though

 

[anotak]

journey is sort of already conditional though, the condition is them not removing it

Honestly I thought it read "3 or less" and thought we had a new volcanic hammer

In other news:

New Rhox War Monk?

RIP Lightning Angel

and I really hope that's a mock up and they didn't mix up its/it's on the actual card

 

[Grillo_Parlante]

More like a return of her majesty

 

[Dom Harvey]

I'm looking forward to the Mantis Rider-Lightning Angel-Stormbreath Dragon deck in Standard

It does say mockup where the rarity should be.

I guess that makes sense why so many spoiled cards look like rares at the moment. This one I believe, but soon we're going to run out of rare room...

Don't forget a mantis rider's mount doesn't owe his master loyality! Do you have a mantis that has been broken in for years?

If only- the lightning angel is from the duel deck.

 

[Grillo_Parlante]

hmmm...what am I missing with this one? Broken in is an English expression, no?

 

[Onderzeeboot]

hmmm...what am I missing with this one? Broken in is an English expression, no?

I am not a native English speaker, and the literal translation of breaking in means to burgle in German (einbrechen). I knew this card was originally spoiled in German, so I thought they made a translation error. After all, burgling a mantis, come one! You learn something every day I guess

 

[FlowerSunRain]

English also uses the expression to mean burgle, (in addition to meaning "overcoming newness", as is being used here) just to make it extra confusing.

 

[Eric Chan]

Add to cube on top of Zealous Conscripts, in place of it, or pass altogether?

 

[Dom Harvey]

definitely not in place of it
