Slave Driver is good, and i have no reason to doubt the Minotaur, Thks for sharing

Nicol Bolas · 01-24-2009, 10:32 PM

I'd love to see the artwork on that slave driver

Zombie giant, nice.

BurntChomsky · 01-24-2009, 10:42 PM

Woooo slave driver is great! Good zombie deck finisher

Deity of Destruction · 01-24-2009, 10:57 PM

the unearth guy is pretty meh imo, but I'm glad to see Minotaurs getting a little love. That creature type has been around since the beginning, and gets no respect, I tell ya.

It's 8 power for 6 in Black. It's not too shabby.

Deity of Destruction · 01-24-2009, 11:02 PM

To be fair, it'd be 8 power for 10, because you have to unearth it in order to get it to leave play a second time - without the aid of another card or effect, of course.

micoy · 01-24-2009, 11:02 PM

Now, on topic.. the zombie giant guy seems to be a good limited card and may find slots on casual unearth decks. I give it a B for efficiency and B+ for design.

Excuses · 01-24-2009, 11:02 PM

I like the Slavedriver. It helps it's in my already favorite draft color for ALA.

foresthowl · 01-24-2009, 11:05 PM

its actually 12 power for 10.
a 4/4
then a 2/2
then a 4/4
then a 2/2

Thallid Ice Cream Man · 01-24-2009, 11:30 PM

So that makes 5 reprints basically...

11th edition had better not be so damned simple.

Bronze Bombshell · 01-24-2009, 11:35 PM

Slave Driver is acceptable. Not complete crap. But I'd probably only use it in limited.
Minotaur: WTF ANOTHER HILL GIANT

Waffles · 01-24-2009, 11:40 PM

Blag blag reprints, with an even LESS relevant creature type. slavedriver has potential, but seems too slow for aggro and can't qualify as a finisher without evasion.

therestless · 01-24-2009, 11:48 PM

Technically efficient, but not at it's place in the curve. Creatures with no other board impact than P/T at 6 mana don't accomplish much. If you're mulling yourself and simply Unearth him, then he's not a bad deal.
