[CARDNAME] is apparently... Undead Butler?

1/2

When [CARDNAME] ETBs, Mill 3 cards (?)

When [CARDNAME] dies, you can exile him. When you do, return target creature from your graveyard to your hand.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."

Reads like a cycle card, having upside for the tribe in red's enemy colours. That would mean a black one for humans, blue for werewolves, white for vampires and green for zombies.

You would literally never cut this theoretical uncommon in a set where the graveyard matters. The issue is that it probably should just be a rare, not that the card sucks.

I kinda feel like this card is going to be better than it looks. The instant speed GY hate that then provides further value is pretty powerful...

yeah i saw it on reddit when i was browsing over there.

i looked at the numbering and while they haven't shown many green cards it is in the correct numbering position. it also looks like something viable and the art looks consistent to how the artist draws.

still i have no clue where this was shown off but yeah most likely real.

It's good, just probably not snap-pick good and considering it's a Mythic...flash and graveyard hate did pretty well in MID, and there's a good chance that card just reads landfall: create a 1/1 token if there are no targets.

If there’s no targets you never get tokens. “If you play a land” triggers if you exile a land.

A 3/4 with Flash that absolutely nobody is going to play around game 1 is probably going to eat a creature the turn you play it.

Not often, I’m just clarifying because some people seem to think playing a land triggers a token because the wording is confusing.

Oh hey, it's a super telegraphed combo with Geralf. And maybe there are other cards that sac creatures and then do something based on the sacced creature's toughness.

I hope there aren't too many cards like this in UB, with exploit that seems really strong in limited. A 3 mana 4/4 with upside and scry 2 is very efficient already and saccing it with the exploit scorpion could let you draw two cards off it as well. Only downside is a loss in tempo, not sure how good playing this on curve will end up being.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Wonder if we'll see a 1-mana "If it's not day or night, it becomes day" card in this set, or if it's something they're avoiding intentionally. The current event mode in MTGA automatically starts the cycle at start of game and it's pretty interesting how much it changes things up; unless both players have a 1-drop in their starting hand it will usually stay Night for quite a few turns.

edit: It would be significantly swingy based on turn order, though -- much much more likely your opponent will be able to play a card and keep it daytime on their turn 2 than on their turn 1. I can see that being a decent reason to avoid it.

I think it has the potential to be just too miserable with Nightbound to have a player on the play to be able to get night to fall turn 2 and then just curve out their werewolves. That lovely looking 2/3 werewolf with menace that’s 4/4 on the night side is suddenly horrifying if you can play it out on turn 3 when night has already fallen.

IMO the huge number of werewolf-destroying things in MID Limited make a lot more sense if there was a one-mana thing that made it day which was cut very late in the process. I think the existence of that card would significantly change the power level of every Nightbound card.

I find it charming how much Wizards really wants to incentivize casting Auras, despite how risky and situational they are

“Hey! What if we attached them to a creature on the backside….or…what if we let you draw a card when you cast it??? What if we put Escape on it??? Come on guys, play Auras please!!!”

Auras are super popular amongst newer players, but are very, very bad unless they're designed in a way to get around the inherent 2-for-1 your opponent gets for blowing up something that's been Voltron'd.

This isn't new; it's been the design philosophy for auras since maybe 2009
