[SHM] Cemetary Puca, Blowfly Infestation

bigkidrs · 04-17-2008, 07:32 AM

I have a source that has confirmed the following cards that are not on the spoiler:

Cemetary Puca (Rare)
Hybrid B/U Creature - Shapeshifter 1U/B, U/B - 1/2
Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from play, you may pay 1. If you do, Cemetary Puca becomes a copy of that creature and gains this ability.

Blowfly Infestation Uncoomon)
Black Enchantment 2B
Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from play, if it had a -1/-1 counter on it, put a -1/-1 counter on target creature.

The only new card in this bunch is the Cemetery card to my knowledge which is very wierd to say the least..

Blowfly infestation is also new !

Hey, so all those pucas, ouphes and others are just changelings? Cool.

Pretty good shapeshifter, but it's a pity it doesn't work with discard - it'd fit Shadowmoor's

theme.

Infestation is fun, to say the least.

Actually, the Blowfly Infestation is also new, IIRC.

Both are fitting the Crunch, and the Orb say YES! (Sorry Orange Mage

).

Nifty shapeshifter there in the Puca

.

Isn't puca a derogatory term in Spanish?

Eric Draven · 04-17-2008, 07:51 AM

Erm that's puta I think, which means "*****" (as in Laputa: Castle in the Sky)

Blowfly Infestation seems like really good black removal for this set, or at least for messing with persist creatures. Just one counter going to the yard could spark a chain reaction between a lot of 1/1 creatures.
The Puca is also pretty nifty, however it doesn't seem too exciting, usual black/blue creature copy.

Edit: Huh, I would've thought that that would've been unfiltered as it's a bit old fashioned now isn't it? I'd be as likely to call someone a strumpet

You're right. Thanks.

Blowfly infestation is fun

There are probably better ways to wrath the board, though. Doubt it'll see much play outside of casual, but I'd like to be proved wrong.

O... Holy typing !

The Puca is also pretty nifty, glad it's only uncommon as it doesn't really feel too exciting.

The Puca is rare, the infestation is uncommon.

I think both card is strong !

Thanks bigkidrs.

Cemetary Puca- Interesting card, kill a creature and pay an extra

to become make Puca a copy, i'm not sure if it's constructed playable but it definitely is interesting.

Blowfly Infestation- That's interesting, it turns all -1/-1 counter baring creatures into something like Arcbound creatures(shift 1 -1/-1 counter to another creature on death), It's a card you'd have to build around, probably unplayable in limited since its a universal effect meaning your opponent will like get as much benefit as you do.

No, he won't ! You control the enchantment, and you place -1/-1 counters on creatures... it doesn't matters who's creature is dying.

Masked_Legend · 04-17-2008, 08:15 AM

The infestation is another 3-4 of in the UB Precon for sure.

Nice cards overall.

pandafarmer · 04-17-2008, 08:33 AM

Puca is very solid. One of the better cloners we've had in recent years.

Yeah, considering the strong -1/-1 counter subtheme, wither, and persist, I imagine that this card would not be a bad inclusion in limited. Get the best bang for your buck from something as simple as Scar.
