Brainbite's nice. Can probably see play similar to... Memory's not working today. What's the card that makes target player draw two and discard four? |

Yeah... Why oh why is brain devourer not a zombie!? lol.
Still, I like that brainbite card. Edit: And breath of malfegor seals it, if I do a 2HG tournament i'm going RB with that and lightning reaver. Ten damage for six mana? yes plz. |

What's with the Zombie theme to the last two cards ? ? weird.
Anywho - "Brain" + "Devourer" gives no joy on the Orb - am I un-caffeinated right now ? ? |

Breath of Malfegor is pretty good in multiplayer games. Like if you should a Five Free For All, thats 20 damage you just sent, but if you want to be a bit kamikaze with it there is always that Furance of Rath for 40 damage (really 10 but hey that can really be a scorn for some)
EDIT: What do we need? A brainbiting zombie lizard  |

Finally, some crap cards. :\ Breath is absolutely terrible, as is the second one (though the second one might work in limited)
The third one is bad, though could fill a niche in limited. Breath could be fun in 2HG limited though...?

Brainbite is a little over-costed, seeing that Coercion costs , and that Multi-colour spells are generally supposed to be cheaper than their Mono-coloured counterparts. But I guess they don't want to make discards too efficient, considering that Duress is probably getting reprinted in M10. Kinda nice seeing some more 'regular' filler cards that don't break the curve.

Thoughtseize ->Blightning -> Brainbite -> Thought Hemorrhage. Ouch. Hope you aren't too attached to your hand, eh?
Breath is fine for multi-player formats and that's it, but that's all it's trying to be, so I can forgive it. |

Yup, devourer has 0 hits. Name must not be right. I like the Brainbite card. Tie it together with Tidehollow Sculler and other discard cards and your opponent will have no hand in no time, lol.

hmmm, my Dimir senses aren't tingling with the brainbite, 4 mana cc just seems like too much for a card that is only 2 for 1, even with the additional peek. If it was an instant OR cost
 less I would run it. I realize that would probably be too strong for a common, but I view most commons as bad in my Dimir deck anyway.

5 damage doesn't impress me in multiplayer either. Might work in 2HG, but in any casual format you typically have much better options (earthquake, hurricane) - plus in FFA you generally don't want to play a mere damage-player spell unless it's going to take them all out. (Which is hard to do at just 5 damage.)
