Card of the Day

In serious
constructed, I don't see this being used. BUT, I
think in a fun constructed deck, you could
actually do something with this card. Get a bunch
of Zombies on the board, and play a couple of
these to finish off an opponent. Use Corpse
Harvester to search him out if necessary.
In Limited, a decent
card in draft if you're going heavy Zombies or
Illusions. Either a decent 4/3, or use it to
finish off an opponent. Much harder to make work
in sealed, as you probably won't see the number of
Zombies you need to make this very useful. But
still decent.
Constructed: 2
Fun Constructed: 3
Limited: 3 |

You can pretty much
ignore the fact that this guy has a body. 4/3
for 6 will almost never see play on its own
merits. What this card really says is ... "Gempalm
Polluter - BB - Instant - Gempalm Polluter can't
be countered by spells or abilities. Target
player loses 1 life for each zombie in play.
Draw a card." Not a bad ability for a zombie
deck, so this guy may see some play in OnBC, but
other than that, you can put him in your crap
commons box.
In limited, this guy
could be decent, depending on the number of
zombies you have. Also, 4/3 for 6 isn't bad in
limited. (It isn't great, but it isn't bad.)
Constructed: 1.5
Limited: 2

Gempalm Polluter
Uncounterable loss of life is good, as is drawing
a card for it. As a
creature he's so-so (and expensive), as a burn
spell he's top of the line.
constructed - 3.3
limited - 3.2 |

Lets see, he sucks! Cycling though...hmmm. You
cycling him you draw a card for BB. Then opponent
loses life, Nice. With Unholy Grotto, thats
actually
kind of good. That might see play in OnBC.
Limited...you play lots of zombies sure! Hes
actually
nice!
Contructed:2 (3?)

Gempalm Polluter is huge and I
predict great things for this card. The ability to
deal damage, avoid CoP’s, and draw a card is
assume as is his ability to beatdown if needed
(although this is much more limited). I expect to
see him featured in Zombie decks with permanent
methods of recursion.
Constructed – This is where
you will get the best use out of him in the right
deck – 4.00
Limited – Without a host of
Zombies a little more limited but he can always
cycle or be a body – 3.15
PEZ – Huge here especially as
a common, there are very few other commons that
are good enough to build a deck around – 4.75

Gempalm Polluter
We have a 4/3 for 6
that is only played in a deck because it can cycle
really well. Trading a card for 2 black and
getting to hit your opponent's life is pretty good
but unless you're playing a Zombie deck you'll
never, ever touch this card. This card makes me
think if Zombie decks are worth it or not and so
far I believe that's a not. There are a lot of
other deck archetypes I want to try before I start
messing around with black and a heavy Zombie deck.
If Zombie decks turn out to be the next Tog this
card could be playable but otherwise all I can say
is thank god it's a common, because with that
costing cost I wouldn't even touch him in Limited.
Constructed 1.5

Thursday - Gempalm Polluter
Unless you have some way to recycle this guy with
Oversold Cemetary or the like, I wouldn't consider
seriously playing him in constructed.
In limited, he's a bit pricey for what you get.
Constructed - 1.5
Limited - 1.9 |

All the gempalm guys aren't very good... only the
red one is good and its only a limited card. No
place in constructed for this card. In limited its
a little better but its either a really expensive
4/3 for 6 or a double black cycle that can cause a
little damage. Its like if misery charm costs 1
more black and cantripped... I've tested it in
draft- it just doesn't cut it.
Constructed: 1
Limited: 1.5 (it cycles even if it is expensive
double black) |
