I still don't know about this cascade thing, either really good or really bad. I'm going to say this one is good.

Berserker? There are only 22 of them so far, one of them being everyone's favorite Raging Goblin. And there isn't even one rare Beserker.

CrimsonEdge · 04-17-2009, 02:07 AM

This seems really good.

Shinjutsei · 04-17-2009, 02:08 AM

Oh, I like this one.
This just seems gross in aggressive Naya decks in Limited. Holy crap.

Really solid aggro 4-drop. Imagine dropping one of these and cascading into a Jund Hackblade. Whoops!

This set is turning out to be solid gold.

Ram-Gang for free anyone?

specially if your cheapest card is wooly thoctar :P

NewAddictions · 04-17-2009, 02:12 AM

since you don't have to reveal the cards how would the opponent know if the player cheated or not.

Agreed. It's pretty mean. Could we perhaps see a rebirth of Zoo? That decktype is definitely needing stuff like this to outrace all of the good removal in Standard.

You play it, of course they'll see it.

They obviously made sure this card worked at 4cc just so this play would be possible. And it is indeed sick.

At least it can't Cascade into Planeswalkers. Block would die a horrible death.

The cascaded cards are removed from the game until they are put on the bottom of the deck, which means everyone can see them.

You could still cascade into a Jace, but I digress.

I'm still aghast at the amount of haste in this set.

They're trying to make up for the come into play tapped lands.

Zombiemachine · 04-17-2009, 02:39 AM

I get the feeling that they are really pushing Haste in this block. Perhaps due to the fact that cheap creatures are scarce.
