DBD is amusing, and would go nicely in a /X mana ramp deck.

Meh. The discard guy isn't bad. Drill seems weak. Who knows though, free equip cost might be alright.

Is "Drill" X to play? That would make it more interesting, at least...

Sith Lord, whomever that ends up being, is kinda meh but could fit into the TarmoRack extended deck.

Hmm, the Zombie guy might be good with the black Hideaway land and a reanimator strategy. I don't like the equipment at all, it should at least give an extra ability.
Is it possible that these cards aren't completely correct? Are they put together from the orb or what is the source for this?

edit: ok, they're correct. May I ask if you have some more tidbits for us, zesty? Please with sugar on top?

I really like Mr. Discard. Great for discard/reanimator/howltooth hollow goodness.

The drill is an interesting design; definitely good in limited. In constructed, 3 for +2/+2 or 4 for +3/+3 don't quite seem good enough.

The equipment seems good late game, but nowhere else. It's a shame madness is rotating out for the discard guy.

Sith Lord: one of those cards you're surprised hasn't been printed yet. It might do bad things in a Legacy Madness deck, too.

Drill Baby Drill: Ok, I love that name. I have a feeling, it'll be the last spell played in quite a few limited games, too. It will end stalled games immediately if you can get a hit in.

There is a common artifact creature that will break affinity wide open in extended.......not counting the Maro for Artifacts that was spoiled from a different source.

The question is........ if a medallion was an artifact creature....

and loved him some artifact spells.....

how many would you need in play to make Myr Enforcer cost 1 mana???????

3? Is that the converted mana cost?

At 3 cmc, I'd think the card to be weak; at 2 cmc, decent.
I understand that the card will be from the Esper shard, the blue-dominant shard, but is it within reason to make the card a colorless artifact creature; or, are there none in this set?

As for the two possible cards:
Sith Lord seems pretty efficient, but I don't quite know the potential of its ability - I suppose it'd make for a unearth enabler.
The equipment is... to say the least, original with regards to its cost; but its effect isn't all that special, being a simple power-and-toughness pumper.

Wow. That could be insane in Affinity. Not sure though. The deck is certainly making room for the artifact maro and most likely Tezzeret, but a medallion may be too much for it.

seds, I liked the cards that you just spoiled, I like the equipment, especially with gilder bairn and I could just see myself saying "good, goooood" whenever the triggered ability of Sith Lord comes up, but zesty took the cake here...if there's a walking medallion that lowers artifact costs...that's going to be nuts...

::edit::
oh and misterorange...I'm pretty sure this medallion guy will be another colored artifact guy from Esper...so yeah he will be an artifact himself I'm guessing
