Mindclaw Shaman

Mindclaw Shaman

Creature - Viashino Shaman Uncommon
When Mindclaw Shaman enters the battlefield, target opponent reveals his or her hand. You may cast an instant or sorcery card from it without pay its mana cost.
2/2

Interesting ability, but I'm not too sure if the current meta has too many game-winning sorceries/instants right now. Possible SB option vs. miracles?

5 drop means not playable. Not even sure I like this guy in limited.

Superwalter · 06-19-2012, 07:46 AM

its just bad.

I like it!

It's a card advantage-granting red card.

It's circumstantial, but pretty powerful when you cast a cantrip or a burn spell out of your opponent's hand. And even when you whiff, you've still seen your opponent's grip.

I might play him if he was another color.

when you have the option of zealous conscripts, mindclaw doesn't compare...

Except that this steals their spells?

assuming they have a hand worth stealing from on turn five or if your still alive on turn five waiting for him to work, he might be good in a heartless summoning, but it seems like a lot of work just to take a spell from you're opponents hand, even when most of the hand spell stealing cards in rotation today aren't played...
