The Lizard generator seems fun in multiplayer. Identity Crisis could really hose lark decks, but not many decks ATM run white and black together. The others are really just meh...Decent in limited though

Nothing else is good enough to be played in standard.


so they'll eat it when ARB redefines standard

For six mana that's a bit much, even for my taste...

Ok, so I like that, and for five mana it's reasonable.

I actually like the sniper - he's a tapper that can also knock down weak creatures instead of just delay them.

Identity crisis looks like loads of fun.

Morbid Bloom is awfully expensive for what it does - SB material at best, and you really need to know they have fatties that justify that high cost, and obviously you need to ensure you have a good way to get those fatties into the graveyard.

Predatory advantage-hilarious. THEY'RE COMING!!!!

Sniper is close to a bomb in limited, I think. Only problem is its fragility. But then again, it only costs two mana.

Not much to say about the others.

Predatory Advantage is cool. I like how so many of these cards are good for multiplayer.

The sniper is nice too. I don't like Morbid Bloom though. Too expensive. =/

The sniper is crazy in limited. If you have played limited you know how high Master Decoy and Prodigal pyromancer are valued. This guy is both!!!! Provided there are no bombs in that booster, this is a 1st pick.

Nothing too exciting. All except Identity Crisis seem to be casual/limited fodder.

The way I see it, Predatory Advantage gives you a 2/2 w/ haste sometimes, you swing, then (maybe) play devour guys later. Great limited utility.

Morbid Bloom looks tasty for EDH.

Identity crisis: not sure about this. SB tech maybe...but that double double mana cost + 2 more is a little steep.

Stun Sniper: great option in limited, obviously.

Sniper looks great for limited. Naya just keeps gettin' better. Morbid bloom also looks useful for limited (having died to spore burst before). Others look amusing. They could find homes somewhere.

Sniper says kill me now or you are going to have a hard time wining this limited game. Easily first-pickable imo. Others are pretty boring.
