Mythic?

Yeah, if it were rare, the symbol color would blend with the background more.

Holy God, are they serious with these cards?

Lets see, let me tap out for 5 and pray it doesn't get countered, and if it doesn't, I will sacrafice a creature and then have it dismembered. Yay for 2-for-1ing myself for free.

Stay awful.

Who would play this shit over Titans?

It was just a statement of disbelief, heh. That's a terrible mythic rare...

MAJOR changes announced today in regards to player rankings - the DCI system is being replaced with the "Planeswalker Points" system.

Highlights:
- Your overall ranking is based on a graduated level system (1-50) and can no longer decrease with losing sanctioned matches. You earn points from participation in an event as well as your event record. Competitive events (i.e. Pro Tour, Grand Prix, PTQ, etc.) award point multipliers as well.
- Pro Tour Points are now Competitive Points, and are no longer permanent; they are cumulative for the current year. Pro Tour invitations and Grand Prix byes (as well as airfare & accomodation awards) are based on the previous year's Competitive points, which are earned in a similar fashion to PW Points. You may still gain PT invites or GP byes by winning a PT Qualifier or GP Trial.
- Points earned at Friday Night Magic will be tallied and the highest totals will be invited to the FNM Championships.

Fkyea.. bye bye sub-1500 DCI ranking!

Just wondering... if you had another creature, couldn't you respond to Dismember by sacrificing another, pumping him up just out of reach of it since the untap part isn't part of the activation? It seems like having two creatures out when you cast Grimgrin would make him a terrible target for Dismember... assuming he's not countered. He seems more like a card for just the block itself...

**Weltall** · 2011-09-06 15:48

If you sac 2 creatures to keep that piece alive, I have already 2-for-1'd you with Dismember. I'll take that 10/10 times, lol.

The vampire is much better. It has the masticore ability at least. I actually like it a lot.

**Nama** · 2011-09-06 18:55

Oh my Im a Guild mage already~ Guess DCI ranking change is good no more losing points and its its both cooler/lamer to be like whats your ranking? Oh I'm a Guildmage. Instead of just saying some number.

Well, 2-for-1 some most-likely trash creatures (zombies), but they would still have a 7/7 that becomes 8/8 if it gets to attack the next turn with its Annihilaterror-esque effect.

Not saying it's good... it just seems like it could be "ok" in block constructed and isn't as vulnerable to Dismember if you have a few shitty zombie tokens sitting around (which seems like it could be likely?). Speaking of, the now revealed token-heavy black concept in this block seems like it may bring up the value of that Skirsdag High Priest since it was first spoiled.

seems like it could be a big deal in constructed... or some other contrived tribal thing...

I like this in conjunction with some blue unblockables. Cheap enough.

edit:

Also...

Evil Twin 2UB
Creature - Shapeshifter (rare)
0/0
You may have Evil Twin enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield. If you do, it gains "UB, Tap: Destroy target creature with the same name as this creature."

That's begging to find some fun card synergy for.

Much better breakdown about how the PW Point system works : http://www.gatheringmagic.com/talkin...walker-points/

They're REALLY pushing FNM at stores able to accomodate large groups of players with this.

Want Blasphemous Act for Niv-Mezzet EDH deck. Blue cards can be funny combo together. Mana dorks look like solid limited cards. Both love and hate Innistrad so far the flavor and art are absolutely amazing, most the cards are pretty lackluster but theres still alot of cards to reveal.
On another note feels like Wizards missed an opportunity here not pushing more Modern playable cards or reprints in Innistrad. Launching a new format without any real product support along side makes it harder for players to get into Modren. The target players for modern are Standard players who would need to trade up large chunks of their collection or purchase singles that are inflated.

I just noticed that now we're seeing cards that play on triskadekaphobia.. put 13 zombies into play, deal 13 damage to each creature..

Damn I LOVE the themes in this set!

Don't point it out its bad luck! So much bad luck!

Pilgrim and Assistant are both excellent. Imagine if Vengevine was still in T2....lol.

Mythics are supposed to be flavor creatures/spells and planeswalkers. Sometimes they are good sometimes they aren't.

Also, black/blue has a major zombie theme going on and this guy fits nicely into that. Hell there's an enchantment in blue that lets you cast zombies for 0.

**Olo401** · 2011-09-08 11:50
