What better to celebrate the coming of Christmas that with Sarcophyles!  We start Sarc week with the common Rogue character Hyperphagic Sacrophyle.

This 3 cost 2 threshold character has barely passable stats at 2/2/2.  As with so many other cards, there must be some redeeming factor to this Sarcophyle.  With the Hyperphagic version, every token you can get on it give it a +1 strength and life.  Not only may you add tokens adlib, every time this slow poke hits your opponents Faction for damage, it earns a token. 

With proper attacking party formation, it shouldn’t be difficult to clear out potential blockers with faster characters leaving a clear path for this Sarc to start chipping away at your opponents Faction and getting bigger and bigger every turn.  After all, isn’t that the very meaning of Hyperphagic Sarcophyle?  A hyper eating disorder involving one who eats animal flesh…  Yummy!

In limited, I wouldn’t hesitate to fill out my Rogue character slots with Hyper Sarcs.  In constructed, there aren’t that many Sarcs to really make a Sarc deck, but if you wanted to make a crazy token deck, he’d fit right in.

Lastly, with this just the tip of the Sarcophyle iceberg (think of future sets) I can’t wait to see what these little nasties have in store for us!

Limited: 3.5/5

Constructed 2.5/5
