At least it Morphs....
If this card sees any
constructed play in any environment, I will
SERIOUSLY consider self-castration with a rusty
butter knife. :(

uh... yeah. It's only
purpose in life is to pretend it's a big guy by
faking a big casting cost. In case you're
wondering why a card would want to do that, there
are several spells in the set that base things on
your biggest casting costed permanent on the
board. Check out some of the rares in the set for
examples.
Well, even though this is a bad cards, I still have to say
that generally,
this is definitely the most eye-popping set I've
seen released!! If you'd like to see the rest of
the rares, you can check them out on my
Scourge Rares eBay page. Just click on any
of the names, and it will give you either a
written card description, or a picture of the card
itself. If you're into huge monstrous
creatures, this set will thrill ya!

What? an 8 casting
cost 1/1? You're pathetic. (What?) I said you're
pathetic.
Seriously, the only
purpose this card serves is its 8 casting cost
for things like Torrent of Fire. And it's not
worth it. In any format.

While I see the method to the madness behind this
card, I will bluntly say
that it is a sham of a card. You would NEVER hard
cast this card in any
fathom of your imagination, unless you were
screwing around and didn't care.
Even with the Morph cost, though, it's still an
overpriced card, purely
because it's a useless 1/1 that you can't even
flip over (if you would even
flip it over at all) until turn 4. That would
make it the equivalent to a
4cc card.
However, the method to this card is to capitalize
off of the surprise that
Morph gives. Morph creatures scream "Target me!"
or "Kill me!" because, in
constructed at least, they are things like
Blistering Firecat, Voidmage
Prodigy (a rarity, but still it pops up), and
Exalted Angel. This card is
intended to throw off your opponent, and to make
them waste some kind of
kill spell on killing this card instead of your
big guns. This method
would work best in a control deck, though, seeing
as how any deck that uses
Blistering Firecat is too fast to be doddling
around with stuff like this.
In limited, here's how you approach this card -
it's a 2/2 for three mana.
That's it. Unless your playing Wizards in your
draft deck, there's no
reason to morph this creature.
Constructed - 1.5/5.0 (A joke of a creature that
is flat out terrible, but
has a set reason for it that is clever and
ingenious.)
Limited - 1.5/5.0 (Element of surprise isn't as
good, but it's still a face
down 2/2 for three if needed.) |
