Default [CON] Spore Burst, Molten Frame, Controlled Instincts

Spore Burst 3g
Sorcery (uncommon)
Domain - Put a 1/1 green saproling creature token into play for each basic land type among lands you control.

From another source that seems credible to me..The molten frame may only be able to destroy target artifact Creature..

Molten Frame 1r
Instant (common)
Destroy target artifact creature
Cycling 2


And welcome to the new member of the most
lop-sided cycle:

Controlled Instincts u
Enchantment - Aura (uncommon)
Enchant Red or Green creature
Enchanted creature doesn't untap during its controller's untap step.


Not as bad as the black one, but obviously not in the same class with the white one.

What?
(Controlled Instincts)

EDIT: You finished it up, lol. It looks like a pretty good card to slap on Figure of Destiny.
Molten frame = obsoletes shatter. w00t! Unless you run both for consistency, and you'd have to really dislike artifacts. These are fair C+ cards.

Interesting. It's not bad, but not stellar either (which seems to be the theme of the set so far).

Limited folder again... Anyway controlled instinct is a nice sideboard card, it could see play. Thrivingmagpies do you remember anything about the 2 remaining rares and the 1 mythic?

Not really that good. 4 mana for 5 1/1 saproling tokens is alright but any less and it's not worth it.

Shatter with cycling!..Just to keep blue non-existent in sealed.
Very good card. Might even see play outside of limited.

Molten Frame is awesome against any mana-fixing artifacts being run in Limited, and shatters any hopes of Esper 'dominating'. Meh to the other 2.

Not really good? If you hit this for 4 or 5 its awesome. Four/five power for four mana is always a great deal and boy is it easy to fine uses for those tokens. At 3 it compares unfavorably to Hunting Triad and its bad at anything less. But if you're playing this card, your playing it in a deck that can maximize the effect. So you should be expecting this to hit for 3+ regularly. Awesome card is awesome.

It still dies to Path, Bolt, Terminate, Doom Blade, and Fallout! That must mean it's fine! Sounds like a printable card to me!!! /sarcasm

There really is no reason for Shatter to exist right now. Between Smash to Smithereens and now Molten Frame, heh, if artifact aggro decks do become big, they will have buckets of hate poured on them. So far it seems like every potential deck concept and pre-existing archetype right now has something in Conflux that can completely skag it in some way. Balance those scales .

Spore Burst is awesome in limited, especially Jund. You won't want to cast this unless you have 4-5 basic land types anyway, at which point one of them will surely be a forest. Jund has the most synergy, but it's still great in any other deck.

Controlled Instincts is good limited removal - possibly sideboard only, in case you run up against Esper. The thing about these cards is, if they're splashing colours they're probably doing so to play their best creatures, so even against Esper you'll be hitting their off-colour bombs.

The token maker is a pretty sweet card and obviously pretty strong in limited.
I don't like the whole hoser cycle idea. Such cards are not fun.

Wow shatter looks bad. Dunno why it's the iconic kill artifact spell, there's SO many cards so superior to it. (Ancient Grudge is equal even without the flashback, smash to smithereens, in terms of cost not color naturalie and disenchant can also hit enchants) and now this. But looks like a good card, very handy card to be able to cycle. The new ordered migration is a fine card for domain decks, however those obviously won't be dominating constructed, so not particulary goodd. If your playing the theme, fine fine card however.

And my do they love color hate.

And this set is gonna be SO funny in limited. Nearly all the cards are playable, fine, decent cards, yet with very few bombs. Picking is gonna be hell because their all playable, and would work fine in a deck, but none will stand out. I like lots of playables though.

Spore Burst <<<<< [...]<< Beacon of Creation

But it's an uncommon. :\
More 5 color insanity... I feel like that should have been held off until the last set. Or... they should have played up the difference between 5c and sticking to a shard, like the "mortal vs. spirit" war on Kamigawa... except sucessfully executed.
