[FS] Putrid Cyclops, Frenzy Sliver, Samite Censer-Bearer & Gift of Granite (Rumored)

Hydrokinesis · 04-13-2007, 02:42 AM

Hey yo![/scotthallofNWOfame]

Man I love Thai food, even more than I love Chinese food and those dang luck fortune cookies I've been getting lately. Well, tonight my wife thought thai food would better suit her tastes, so we drove down to the local Thai takeaway and ordered some mean as meals...

...the usual guy wasn't there to serve us, and instead in his place there was... A mysterious Dutch GUY! WTF? He paused me just as I began to speak and gave me a small envelope and mouthed the word 'THEM'

Then he took our order... we had Thai for dinner and it was all sweet.
The End...

Oh, yeah the envelope...

...it contained the following:

Putrid Cyclops

Creature - Zombie Cyclops
When Putrid Cyclops comes into play, scry 1, then reveal the top card of your library. Putrid Cyclops gets -X/-X until end of turn where X is that card's converted mana cost.
3/3
Common.

Frenzy Sliver

Creature - (um I think it's a) Sliver
All sliver creatures have Frenzy 1 (Whenever this creature attacks and isn't blocked it gets +1/+0 until end of turn)
1/1
Common.

Samite Censer-Bearer

Creature - Human Rebel Cleric

, Sacrifice Samite Censer-Bearer: Prevent the next one damage that would be dealt to each creature you control this turn.
1/1
Common

Gift of Granite

Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
Flash
Enchanted creature gets +0/+2
Common.

yes, yes.... YES!!!! Fill the partial spoiler my common pretties!!!

Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha!

Enjoy.

Maybe the Gift of Granite is the answer we were looking for to Daybreak Coronet

**Caranthir** · 04-13-2007, 02:48 AM

Another nice bunch of commons, thanks, James!!!

The Putrid guy has nice flavor

All the cards except for the Putrid Cyclops are fairly unspectacular. They'd mostly be filler cards methinks. The Cyclops on the other hand would have good applications in aggro decks, although currently B/R aggro decks don't really need it.

Quickdive · 04-13-2007, 02:51 AM

Frenzy is certainly the silliest keyword in a while. Absorb makes sense, while this one... just doesn't

Shaharazad · 04-13-2007, 02:52 AM

Wow, the sliver rocks. Another cheap pump sliver, for what really matters in the red zone. Thats three cheap and powerfull sliver pumps for

Slivers.

The zombie giant is nice. I think his only home is mono black tribal zombies.

Censer bearer is another solid limited card.

Thanks Hydro!

Wildfire393 · 04-13-2007, 02:53 AM

Hm... the cyclopse seems like it is good alongside Dark Confidant. Between the two of them, you should be able to keep the average cost of cards in your deck to be like 1.5. the Cyclopse is a fairly efficient (and splashable) beater, can set up your next draw, and only dies if theres something that costs 3 or more on top. And even if there is, you can put it on the bottom and risk the next card being 3 or more.

Frenzy Sliver seems decent in RWB aggro slivers, but not amazing. Like a way situational Sinew Sliver. Good with Sidewinder Sliver for a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" moment.

The censer-bearer is, um, mad tech against pyroclasm if you are running all x/2's? I dunno, it seems mediocre, but its a common one drop. Most of those tend to be.

The aura is underwhelming, but its an aura. I'm pretty sure no one was expecting a rancor. This could have been good with a Shacklesesque return ability. As it stands, maybe playable in limited, completely unplayable in constructed. Makes Indomitable Will look a bit better in comparission.

carrolln · 04-13-2007, 02:56 AM

I think the word "frenzy" is bad. I think they would have used Fury, which I think sounds much better, but they've already printed a fury sliver. bah!

Anyways, the Putrid Cyclops is amazing. It's a little better than Skulking Knight in limited.

Zombiemachine · 04-13-2007, 03:01 AM

Finally a decent low costed black sliver. It probably won't affect decks, but it will be another decent 2-drop in limited. The cyclops is not bad either since it will probably survive without problem in a low curve deck, a pity they didn't print it as a 4/3 for some added appeal.

magac · 04-13-2007, 03:02 AM

The Cyclops is cute

You can scry, and if you can get a land card, you already get a 3/3 for 3 with a bonus

Not bad for a common.

The Frenzy Sliver is complete and utter blah. A +1/+0 Bonesplitter Sliver beats this stupid any day, except against Phthisis, which is almost never played.

Censorbearer is not too bad, but obviously limited fodder..... Protecting your creatures from Pyrohemia in standard can be done in much more better ways.

Gift of Granite is okay. The Flash is a big bonus, seeing that if your bear is about to get burned, you can add this to save it for a shot. But again, this is a mere limited fodder.

**Caranthir** · 04-13-2007, 03:02 AM

I reckon that the Frenzy Sliver is the missing futureshift at #85, judging that it has a previously unseen keyword.

arcane7828 · 04-13-2007, 03:03 AM

Putrid Cyclops looks a little iffy... the scry one does make it up by allowing you to move acard away if it is gonna kill the cyclops... probably limited stuff...

Frenzy Sliver... errrmmm another keyword???? Now I am really appreciating the reminder text lol strictly weaker than muscle or sinew. why bother?? hmm

ehhh the samite is limited stuff.... too situational me thinks...

Gift of Granite - good limited stuff!

Ramenth · 04-13-2007, 03:11 AM

I like gift. I think that, if gift is a shifted card, we've pretty much made it clear that an enchantment block is coming.

Elheirst · 04-13-2007, 03:33 AM

Yeah with 49 keywords being in this set, I am thankful for reminder text. The zombie is nice. Can be helpful late in game as well. Play him and if it nothing you need with the scry. put it on the bottom. Play him and you get a damnation as a top card and needing it, you don't care if it dies.

Well, it matches Blood Frenzy, Battle Frenzy and Fatal Frenzy. It seems odd to me that it's not red, though.
