I mean she is 3 power and 4 toughness in attacking creatures for 2 mana and she is a revolt enabler. I am more worried about her being legendary than anything else at a two drop.

Yeah but it's only 1 power of evasive attackers. That isn't good at all.

A throw away 2/1 isn't terrible. Just like a lot of cards, we just don't know until more cards come out. There is some merit to the token generator being harder to kill at 2cmc but there are a lot of 3/2's out there in this set.

Menace and first strike go very well together. They have to gang block, and if you can first-strike kill one of the blockers then the other one lacks the power to kill you. Combat tricks are going to be very good with her. Built to Smash a Kari is gonna be nasty.

This is all for limited, obviously.

She's gonna be hard to kill just in creature combat.

Looks like the dwarf is scaring the machines with the baby gremlin (cause they eat through artifacts).

So maybe the card can't be blocked by creatures or some such.

I feel like this is the best mana dork printed in a while. It dodges removal and draws you a card when you no longer need it making it not a terrible topdeck.

That seems like a big oops. Probably still won't be good, but for standard anything can be crazy sometimes.

Extremely strong combat trick. Think real had before you try to kill your opponent's cloudblazer.


Obligatory unplayable vanilla creature that ostensibly has tribal synergy except there's no actual tribal synergy in the set.


lol at how bad this card is


:eyepop:


Red seems like it's going to continue the trend from kaladesh where it's not good at anything but aggro, but also it's bad at aggro. Shock seems particularly weak with how pushed the creatures are. Lots of 3-toughness and ETB triggers.


Pretty sweet grizzly bear where you can throw the 2/2 of stats onto your big trampler in the late game. Kind of hurts that you have to telegraph it a turn in advance though.


I like this cycle of mana sinks at common.

It is also a 2 card 9 mana combo that can be chump blocked. Also, the combo dies to a Revolting Fatal Push. I am not terribly worried about it, and hope it ends up being fringe awesome.

You'd probably run it in a rug shell with sylvan scrying to find the fumarole and blossoming defense to protect your robot. I don't think it will break standard or anything but it could be a fun fringe deck.

I'm not sold. You're going to end up in awkward positions where it's your only source of fixing but you haven't drawn your splash cards yet. Do you crack it and hope not to draw the splash cards? Or do you put yourself down a card and hope to draw your splash cards?

Probably good as a revolt enabler but it's pretty bad at mana fixing.

It's really good if you loop it with Rallier, I think.

You can probably splash with this plus 2 or 3 basics and it's one of your better late game top decks. "G: Draw a card" is fine.

Cool that you can play the Fumerole as your land for the turn and immediately animate it and it doesn't affect the combo.
