Colossal Strength seems like a lot of fun on any of the cheap double-strikers we now have (Viashino Slaughtermaster, Hearthfire Hobgoblin, Marisi's Twinclaws)

the first one is a typical pump spell which is nice.
the second one however is hilarious!

Tight. I like em! Especially bolt of intimidation. I don't think we've seen a card quite like this before. Fog + removal could be really good, especially when you're aggro racing aggro.
EDIT: It's a beating against r/w kithkin - kill your cenn and fog, faeries - just because its an instant that puts them pretty far behind in a damage race, w/b tokens - kill your sculler and fog. The list goes on. Last edited by Gigglioronomicon : 04-19-2009 at 10:14 AM. |

From what/whose feed?
It's great to see all these gold cards that are powerful, not gold cards that are gold for flavor's sake. |

Wow, the bolt is amazing if some sort of control in those colors shows up. Also, for those swans decks splashing white it can read: draw 3+fog

I was always a big fan of Unchecked Growth, so me likes Strength. The Bolt is excellent removal + fog; is it just me, or there'll be more card1+card2 cards in the set (like Soul Manipulation)? Though I don't remember any card which deals 3 damage to creatures only...

I like how the pump spell, makes things into a 5 power, well unless you're attacking with that 0/3 from conflux lol, reminds me downed down berserk.

Colossal Strength- That's a good pump spell it's Predator's Strike but with an extra power and 1 less toughness boost. limited strong, constructed possible if a RG stompy becomes viable.
Bolt of Intimidation- For 3 you hopefully kill 1 creature and you also Holy Day 1 attack. Good in limited, in constructed it's a bit iffy though since the 3 damage won't always be enough and there may not be any other creatures to make it relavent, possibly worthwhile as a sideboard against zoo if it becomes popular or Kithkin if it makes a resurgence

uselessend - he's spoiled cards already and works at WOTC so it's solid.

Comes into play drunk

The pump is very nice - 2 cmc that gives big power and trample, that's a pump spell worth playing.
The bolt, man, RW Aggro gets another tool, I like it. This is, so far, the most solid set I have seen in ages. Just marvelous stuff, even the commons. |

I think Bolt of Intimidation is really crazy in aggro/token/midrange decks. It allows you to jump way ahead of other aggro decks/faeries/token decks unlike volcanic fallout etc. You get to kill their cenn/sculler/whatever and semi-timewalk them. The key is having either larger creatures or evasive creatures that can then untap and attack effectively (because their creatures will be untapped), so that you come up winning the damage race.
