Default [EVE] Necroskitter & Soul Snuffers (Rumoured) UPDATED 1st post!

Hello rumour mill.

I was told to come here. This is the place for rumours isn't it?...


Necroskitter
1bb
Creature - Elemental
Wither
Whenever a creature an opponent controls with a -1/-1 counter on it is put into a graveyard, you may return that card to play under your control.
1/4
Jaime Jones
38/180
Rare

Edit: Added a little combo for everyone.

Soul Snuffers
2bb
Creature - Elemental Shaman
When Soul Snuffers comes into play, put a -1/-1 counter on each creature.
3/3
izzy
45/180

Uncommon


Go ahead, check the orb.
More to come soon.

You might want to check that mana cost. 1 is obviously incorrect.

Necroskitter checks out.

Interesting card, may see some play, particulary in aggressive decks against Kitchen Finks. Not overly impressive, though.

What a crazy coincidence. It's a shame that CaptainScarlet got to reveal the black card while you had to settle for the red one.

As for the card itself, I liked Soul Collector a lot the first time around. This seems like a more versatile, cheaper version of it. So yeah, I'll probably have to pick up a few.

The time is ripe for a Blowfly Infestation deck.

Realistic and believable one. With the amount of Persist and -1/-1 counter putting effects in both sets I expect it to be quite a powerhouse in limited.
Probably won't make the cut in constructed any time soon, just too many different quality cards around... unless we'll see a new archetype in block.

Coincidences, coincidences.

Anyways, I like the card, it's really cool. I want to make a reanimation deck now.

lol! You always win Black, you always win.

My initial thoughts were on Blowfly infestation also. But it's just damned good anti-persist tech vs Finks/Twilight/Redcap too. And it works wonders with Puncture Bolt!

Well tbh, this card cant be real for one simple reason: Midnight Banshee.
It would mean that you could take all creatures from your opponent...

... Well not if your opponent were playing black creatures. Plus, anything that Midnight Banshee kills in the first few turns will come back under your control and be killed again anyway, so it's not that amazing. Anything that Midnight Banshee could kill that's worth killing would take at least 3 turns for it to work... and then that's like turn 10 or so and I'm sure your opponent will have some sort of answer by turn 10.

This one is soooooooooo powerful!
At the moment people play a bunch of Persist creatures, so it's already a good metagame card. But with Blowfly infestation, Incremental Blight or Midnight banshee... it can be devastating... (oddly I already play those 3 in my -1/-1 casual deck... I think that it will need some improvements... )
Note that there isn't a clause like "When ~ leaves play you lose control of those creatures" or something like that....

Are you arguing that a card cannot be printed because it works well with another card? Wizards, you've been doing it wrong.

But seriously, the card seems good. The only problem I can see in Constructed is you have to build around it, so if you don't see it/it dies, the rest of your deck will probably be pretty subpar. It may be good in Block, but I can't imagine it would do that well in Standard. -Jack

P.S. - Obviously more and more terrible the closer you move to eternal formats. Don't bitch at me for not mentioning them.
